God has plans, not problems for our lives. The life of a Christian is an education for a higher service. God is training you for something.
Tested faith brings experience. You would never have believed your own weakness had you not needed to pass through trials. And you would never have known God’s strength had His strength not been needed to carry you through.
Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.
