Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. James 1:2When we face challenges in life we also gain an opportunity to practice depending fully on God.
Sure, it isn't fun. It isn't the life we had planned for ourselves, but all these things are working together for a bigger purpose. God is calling us to live a life in the present moment with Him. When we face challenges in life we have to live life in moment by moment for sanity's sake. But really, this is how life was meant to be lived - in the moment.
There are plenty of things to praise God for. Try praising Him for your trails and struggles as well. It really strengthens your faith and your understanding of His love for you.
My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9
