Persevering through a tough season can be extremely challenging. We don't like to admit it, but learning to trust God in the midst of these times can also be a rather difficult process.  We must remember, however, that God's plan is bigger than our own. He has a purpose for us, even in trying times, and He will use our struggles to refine us and draw us closer to Him. Trusting that He's in control is the most important thing.
