James 1:2-3 TPT (The Passion Translation)
2 My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can! 3 For you know that when your faith is tested[a] it stirs up power within you to endure all things.
James 1:2-3 NIV
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
No one likes going through hard times and struggles. Such trials put us in a place of despair and unrest. But in the spirit, there is a purpose for all things. God prepares us and tempers us for various purposes. That’s why it is important to know who you are and to whom you belong. A child of God will never be without the guiding hand of Our Father. But we worry for many reasons. Here are some reasons people worry:
-Uncertainty of how things will turn out.
-Fear of the unknown – wondering about the next steps.
-Don’t believe that God understands what we’re going through.
-Not knowing how God is going to answer our payers.
-Not knowing what to do in our situation(s).
-Timing and patience – when is this going to be over? Where is the breakthrough?
Stay in prayer, stay in God’s word, stay faithful and focused. Believe that you will walk in victory regardless of the outcome. Faith honors God and God honors faith.
