Trials Aren't Bad For Us.

I know most christians in our western society don't want to face trials,we would rather hear about prosperity and feel good.
But through trials we grow in faith and grace,and draw closer to The Lord.

I'm facing things that I don't have answers for and it's awkward but The Lord is working some things out of me,and my small trials have really been a blessing.
My only hope is in The Lord.The Lord knows best and I'm thankful for what He is doing in me.

Scott, is it trials or trails? Look at the title "Trails."

I've been on a few trails that turned out to be trials, BT...

Scott, we definitely grow more in adversity, it seems. But it usually isn't til after we get through it that we take a deep breath and realize just how far God's brought us. I pray you continue to see God's blessings, even through the trials.

I do see God's blessings in this situation.We are instructed in the word to be content in whatever state we find ourselves in.
