God is with me through my trials

"How does God want me to respond to this difficult situation?" Faith always pleases God, because it comes to grips with our own reality. Christian who have faith understand the reality of their lives. Faith in God allows us to go as far as we can while trusting in God's grace to overcome the difficulties we face.

What is crucial to true success and accomplishment is having the right motivation and being faithful to God. This will result in God's approval of our lives, in His blessings and undertaking, and in spiritual growth and fruitfulness. Bad things are never good and God never wants bad things to happen, but the Bible clearly repeated reminding me that God uses trials to work for my good for His Glory. Not all suffering is the result of sin since God allows us to suffer so He can refine us. Suffering purifies us like fire refines gold (1 Pet. 1:7).
