Life is easier than you'd think; all that is necessary is to accept the impossible, do without the indispensable, and bear the intolerable.

There are times, beloved, when God will place you in the middle of trials—a hospital stay, rejection, a financial blow. He lets you hurt as others hurt, knowing that the way you handle it will be a testimony, that your response will show others that there's something awesomely different about you.

God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way.

The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.

God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain.

If you see 10 troubles coming down the road, you can be sure 9 will go in the ditch and you have only one to battle with.

Never a choice. Always being rescued.

You have come into a hard world. I know of only one easy place in it, and that is the grave.

Suffering has always been with us, does it really matter in what form it comes? All that matters is how we bear it and how we fit it into our lives.

Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties.

Adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. I never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger.

To lose Is to learn.
