A fox should not be on the jury at a goose’s trial.

Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.

Your trials, crosses, and conflicts are all temporary.

True holiness does not make a Christian evade difficulties, but face and overcome them. Christ would have His people show that His grace is not a mere hothouse plant, which can only thrive under shelter, but a strong, hardy thing which can flourish in every relation of life.

A trial is an instrument by which our Father in heaven makes Christians more holy.

Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.

Consider that the trials and troubles, the calamities and miseries, the crosses and losses that you meet with in this world, are all the hell that ever you shall have

In spite of this trial, which takes all enjoyment from me, I can never the less, cry out, ‘Lord, you fill me with joy in all that you do. For is there a joy greater than to suffer for love?

Trials help us detach ourselves from the earth; they make us look higher than this world.

For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy

If you are willing to bear serenely the trial of being displeasing to yourself, then you will be for Jesus a pleasant place of shelter

When I have fully decided that a result is worth getting I go ahead of it and make trial after trial until it comes

God tests the soul’s sincerity by trials. When brought into strait places, we are compelled to decide for or against God. There is no such thing as remaining neutral. All must take sides, either for Christ or against Him.

Trust in God, and be tranquil and undisturbed amid all the trials and difficulties that beset your path.

Every trial patiently borne will make us stronger.

I too believe that God will always make a way where there is no way. I believe that if we will walk in obedience to the commandments of God, if we will follow the counsel of the priesthood, he will open a way even where there appears to be no way.

Trials are medicines which our gracious and wise Physician prescribes because we need them; and he proportions the frequency and weight of them to what the case requires. Let us trust his skill and thank him for his prescription.

A spirit of thankfulness is one of the most distinctive marks of a Christian whose heart is attuned to the Lord. Thank God in the midst of trials and every persecution.
