Consider it Joy!
James 1:2-5
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
I love this verse. I think because I have been through so many trials in my life (like all of you I am sure). It is so interesting to me to know that when I am enduring trials in my life, whether it be financial, dealing with kids, my career (or lack thereof), etc. that God loves me enough to put me through it. He loves me enough to test my faith. He loves me enough to develop my perserverance. He also loves me enough to give me generous amounts of wisdom if I only ask.
So trust God with your trials. Trust Him that he is doing a work in your life and that He loves you enough to do so! Basically, hang in there. God is good. He means only good for your life - not harm.
