Tag: Bible verses about being blessed in our trials

James 1:2-3 (NKJV) 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 

One of the things that many of us do when we’re going through trials is to ask God to remove the trial. We all do this from time to time. 

And while it is understandable that we would ask for this, it’s important that we understand what we’re asking for. 

Nobody likes trials. They hurt. They wear us out. They leave scars. 

But during those times of trial there are so many things we can learn! And during those trying times, God can teach us so many things if we will just allow Him to. 

God can use the bad things that happen and bring good out of them. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that He removes the trial or turns the bad thing into something good. He just teaches us lessons as we walk through them. 

So, whatever trial we might be facing right now, instead of doing what we always do and just asking God to bring the trial to a sudden end, let’s ask God what it is that we can learn from it as we walk through it. 

And while we’re learning, we can watch God move on our behalf.
