In the face of adversity, in any situation beyond our control, we have an impetus to remember Krishna: "Krishna, only You can protect me from the influence of Your powerful illusory energy. Every moment without the association of Your devotees is like hell. But for some reason You have put me in this situation. Let me see this misfortune as Your will and thus as an opportunity to think of You and to pray to You for protection.
