In thinking about His many blessings, you view God's work from a new perspective.

Suffering prepares you by training you to trust God and know that He is always at work in your life.

Temptation can be defined as an inducement to do evil. Three powerful forces work together to ruin a believer's character and witness: Satan, the world system, and our own lustful "flesh" tendencies.

God allows us to dace difficulties so that our faith will be stretched and refined. The trials we face provide an excellent opportunity for us to declare our dependence on God and not on ourselves. The way we win the battle with discouragement is by humbling ourselves before God and telling Him that we need Him. There is only one way to do this, and it is through prayer.

Disappointments will come and go, but discouragement is a choice that you make.

The dark moments of our life will last only so long as is necessary for God to accomplish His purpose in us.
