James 1:2–4(NIV) "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
Warren Wiersbe said, “'Perseverance' in the New Testament is not simply 'waiting it out;' it is steadfast endurance in the Lord, keeping going when the going is tough. The Christian who prays for more patience must expect more tribulation, for tribulation is the spiritual tool God uses to make us patient.”
2 Corinthians 4:17(NIV) "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all."

- When suffering comes, it will either make us or break us. If we accept the suffering, yield to God’s will, and by faith continue to stand true, then the suffering will help us grow.
- If we resist the suffering, complain to God, and give up in unbelief, then the suffering will break us and weaken our testimony.
If Satan seems to be winning the battle today, resist and rest in faith, knowing that he will lose the battle tomorrow! GOD wins.
