James 1:2-5
2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 1:13-18
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. 18 In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.
We all go through hard times from one circumstance to the next, the only difference it is how we fair through these moments that make the most difference. We see in the above verses when those moments come we consider it joy. Some of us are like how can you have joy when tough times happen, well that is when you need your faith and remember why you have faith. As we can see God brings us through in return to strengthen our faith in Him. We have the tools, we have prayer, we have God’s Word and we have fellowship from fellow believers. Take hold of the promise, that it shall pass.
1 Thessalonians 5:24
Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.
