Consider it an opportunity for joy when you face trials of many kinds because the testing of your faith develops perseverance. And perseverance must finish its work so that you may become mature. ~James 1:2-4
We are all going through a difficult time. As hard as it may be to accept, trials are part of His plan for us, not a sign of His inattention or unfaithfulness.
In His love and grace, he leads us where we didn't plan to go in order to achieve what we never would on our own. In trials He works to change the values of our hearts so that we become more like Jesus. Sometimes He doesn't change the circumstances (though we would like Him to) but uses the circumstance, if we trust and obey Him, to transform us.
The truth is that in these times we are being blessed with the heart and soul transforming grace of difficulty because in His love for us, He desires that we grow out of our comfort zone and into a deeper walk of faith, trust, love, and peace.
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. ~ Psalm 46:1
