1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 1:3 Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 1:4 But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 1:8 A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.

James 1:2-8 KJV

This is what I have been getting out of the sermon Mark preached on Wednesday night. No matter what we are going thru we need to thank him for it. He is teaching us, refining us to make us perfect. Like Mark was talking about if we were happy all the time we wouldn't grow, we wouldn't learn, we have to suffer sometimes for his glory. I know we all have a lot to learn, and I am so thankful everytime he reveals something I need to change; because this is confirmation to me that he loves me, and that he has something powerful in store for me in the future. I am so thankful that he brought me to this body. You all are such a strength to me.

Hey,Beige.This scripture has ministered to me many times.So many times when I would go through a trial I would just pray for God to immediatly make it end without really praying ,Lord, why am I going through this? What is it you are teaching me? I pray a little different now,he has taught me to be patient in tribulation (Romans 12:12),and have faith that Christ is making me perfect,especially through suffering.Love you Liz

I don't know. I find that I suffer trials and tribulations much better than I do temptations. In fact, I can't remember too many times that I faced temptation prayerfully. Trials and tribulations always bring me to my knees in prayer, but I don't have that same knee-jerk reaction to temptation. Instead, I have to discipline myself to pray when tempted.

Thank God I have a loving and patient wife, Vicki, who has been instrumental in my growth in this area, otherwise I would still be living a life of failure and frustration.
