Gwen Stefani leans on her faith in hard times.
The 51-year-old songstress recently paid a virtual visit to the "Today" show and discussed her gratitude for her privileges and triumphs.
"This is the thing, I always feel like this whole thing that we're doing here, this life thing, is a test," she said. "And basically, you get given all of these crazy challenges to trick you to think that maybe it's not a test and maybe nothing good is going to be around the corner."
However, all good things to those who wait, she promised.

"I feel like it's the way you handle things, you never know," the "Don't Speak" singer explained. "You're gonna be blessed. You got to ask for the blessings. You got to keep engaged. That's how I believe. That's how I live my life. I'm getting better at it. It's something you have to work on. It's like a spiritual exercise every single day."

It's almost like you get lost, it's like you get lost on your journey. We all do and we all will and I will again at some point I'm sure."
There's also a piece of advice she received from her fellow "The Voice" alum, Pharrell Williams that has stuck with her as well.
