I know I've mentioned this before, but we all go through trials. They are supposed to make us stronger, but sometimes they don't feel that way. A good explanation of what the purpose of trials are can be found in Romans 5:3-5
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Basically it is saying that tribulations are there to allow us to make a choice, the higher road or the lower road.
The higher road allows for Godly attributes, such as patience, experience, hope, and not feeling ashamed.
The lower road allows for Satanic attributes, such as impatience, regret, despair, and being ashamed.
Sometimes in the midst of our trials we feel as if we aren't good enough for anything. That we have no strength and can't fix our own problems. This is not true! Choose the higher road and don't feel ashamed if you're struggling. God wouldn't want you to feel that way. He wants you to feel hope.
Don't forget to be awesome!
