ride out
Survive the storm
To ride out something is to endure it until it passes, weathering difficulty without being overcome.
The image is of a ship riding out a storm at anchor rather than fleeing or sinking: We'll just have to ride out the recession.
The phrase implies patience and resilience—staying put through turbulence until conditions improve.
