I 'yam what I am, and dats all what I 'yam

Popeye in his first solo cartoon, I Yam What I Am (His first appearance was actually in a Betty Boop cartoon, Popeye the Sailor). While Olive Oyl is rowing a life-boat with Wimpy in the back of the boat (eating big fish) and Popeye in the front singing his I'm Popeye the Sailor Man song with the line "I 'yam what I am, and dats all what I 'yam!" This is exactly how God wants us to respond to adversity in our life. As Oswald Chambers says, 

The way we continually talk about our own inability is an insult to the Creator. The deploring of our own incompetence is a slander against God for having overlooked us . . . To say Thank God, I know I am saved and sanctified is in the sight of God the acme of humility . . . (November 30)

1 Corinthians 15:10 (KJV)

But by the grace of God I am what I am . . .

I thank God for who and what I am and I know I am saved and sanctified!

Psalm 127 (KJV)

1. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3. Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Thanksgiving

I’ve heard many say, “I wonder what the will of God is for my life?” The Bible says,

In everything give thanks for this is the will of God! (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

Peace

Real peace is having an intimate relationship with God, Father - Son - and Holy Spirit! Having personal, deep fellowship, one on one with each of the godhead. What bliss and tranquility!
