James 1 v 2-4 (NLT)

Faith and Endurance

2 Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3 For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

So much in so few words! First of all, I can not imagine not needing anything. Secondly, as is obvious, I need to change my outlook towards the trials I face.

Father, change my heart and help me work towards contentment.

Your son,
cas

I second cas' comments. Moreover, I certainly need to recognize that I'm growing when I'm being challenged with trials.
In Jesus' name,
Amen

I must fully know my faith in order to endure. My journey is to strengthen my faith.
