God allows difficulty in our lives to bring out of us what is really inside already. Those difficulties shape us only in that they reveal what needs fixing within us. When we seek the face of God in the middle of our trials, God will give us wisdom through it. If we do not seek Christ in our trials we become spiritually and emotionally weak.
James 1:12
"12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him."
Romans 12:12
"12 rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer,"
James 1:2-8
"2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,
8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."
