Refined- How to Go Through Trials Well According to James 1

We all have a story that is riddled with various kinds of trials. We all could most likely point to something we are currently going through that is difficult. But why is it difficult to go through trials? Here are the few that I identified:
·      

    It is difficult because we wish we did not have to go through the trial.
·      It is difficult because we do not have the wisdom to navigate the trial.
·      It is difficult because under the surface we doubt God’s power to help us.
·      It is difficult because we feel as though we cannot continue on, therefore we give up.
·      It is difficult because we feel trapped in a pattern, and we blame God for making us this way.
·      It is difficult because we experience the death dealing consequences of sin.

·      It is difficult because we forget the truth, and miss the opportunity for God to deliver us from the consequences of sin.
