One of the biggest things we struggle with in life is dealing with the hardships and trials that come to us all. In varying degrees, we all face circumstances at times that we would really prefer not to have to face. However, if we understand that absolutely everything that God allows into my life has been ok'd by Him for purposes oftentimes that only He understands, then I should have the ability to rest in the fact that He has a good reason for allowing them. Once I can get to that point, I can learn to embrace the trials as something that will produce good fruit in me. Once I've obtained that understanding, while I may not enjoy them, I can rest through them knowing that God is in control and will see me through to the other side. This can be one of the most freeing lessons we can learn as a believer. Trials and hardships will come, but I don't have to dread them anymore.
