For the children of God, hardship, trials and persecution are not new or weird to them.
The scripture teaches that faith will be tried,at times by those who are unreasonable and unfair, other times by God Himself to test our devotion.
In this world, No believer will evade trials and difficulties.
What really counts is our response amidst those seasons.
The moments of suffering should not drives us away from God, instead it lshould drive us closer to Him.
This is the time to pursue God sincerely and seriously through supplication and prayer.
This is not the moment to turn back to the old sinful life Christ saved us from.
Rather, believers must cling to God and trust His promises.
God is capable of converting hurtful situations to good for us and also fortify our faith through these situations when we stay steadfast and patient amidst them.
