>>12647063>I just see "hell rising up against us". I'm becoming tired.James 1: 2-4
>Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.Verses like these remind me that, while I can pray for the cup of wrath to be removed from me, I can also pray for the strength and conviction to weather the storm, so I can be refined by the fire into a better soldier for the battles to come.
