More that that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."
Romans 5:3-5
Going through hard times are not the best things to go through. It stinks. But you know what makes it a little easier to get through it? Is knowing that despite all the things that you may be going through. There's a reason for going through it. You may find out tomorrow, next week, or even years to come. When going through these trials, and the devil is trying to test your faith, just keep on remembering that there is a reason why you're going through this. It might be to make you stronger, prepare you for something, or even to help people in the future that are facing the sam expact problem. Like Romans 5:3-5 says, all of this crap you go through, makes you who you are, and it can make you weak, or build endurance and make you stronger than you could even try to imagine. It's hard to look at it in that light at times, I know first hand, but just keep on going.
Like wise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groaning too deap for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit intercedes fro the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose...
Romans 8:26-28
