God wants to use us for His great work, but He uses trials to prepare us for those works. If we spend our lives running from trials, we will never be strengthened and refined to be used by God for great things. If we prepare ourselves by studying Scripture, then face the trials head on when they come, we show ourselves to be His good and faithful servants, willing and able to be used by Him however He pleases.
