2 More Verses Applicable

Last night I was struggling with my financial aid (again) and worrying about how I would be able to pay for school because of some stuff that I don't need to explain, but I was talking to my boyfriend and saying "nothing ever goes right, it seems like there is always something I have to worry about" and he said "not with that attitude", to be honest, I took a little offense to that; I felt like I had done a good job looking on the bright side, I was just so frustrated with the almost constant lack of relief. I just read this verse:

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

James 1:2-4

Even though it doesn't seem like it, God is strengthening me, and developing things in my spirit that will help me later. Just because I don't see why He does what He does, doesn't give me the right to ignore Him. HE IS GOD AND I AM NOT. I read another verse:

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you had suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power forever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 5:10-11

It is times like these when I wonder why I let myself be an idiot. He is amazing! My faith is being tested and I am developing perseverance, I should be joyful! Suffering a little while will make HIM restore me, and I shall be strong and steadfast. EVERYTHING I want to be, and to HIM BE THE POWER.
