An excerpt from "What Christians Want To Know.com" entitled, "How to Face Trials: A Bible Study From James 1" by Robert Driskell, states: "Christians are not exempt from trials and tragedies; we will face hardships in life, it comes from living in a fallen world. However, if we respond by trusting God, our faith will actually be strengthened. We will emerge from the hard times, stronger and wiser for having put our trust in God to see us through.
We must be aware that with every trial comes a temptation. The temptation is to trust in something, or someone, other than God to get us through it. The temptation is to become overwhelmed by our situation and believe that even God is not able to help us. However, if we turn to God in our time of need, instead of away from Him, He will give us the strength and wisdom to get through anything the world, or Satan, throws at us. Moreover, we will emerge from those trials as stronger Christians with a more sure faith and a more vibrant witness for the glory of God."
