Perseverance

"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." James 1:13

"Incline Your ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am afflicted and needy. Preserve my soul for I am a godly man; O You my God, save your servant who trusts in You. Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to You I cry all day long. Make glad the soul of Your servant, for to You O LORD, I lift up my soul. Ps. 86: 1-4

There are times we must cry out to the LORD...He allows His people to suffer......and it is in Him that we find rest for our souls....."for your ways are not my ways, and your thoughts are not my thoughts....trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding...in all your ways ackowledge Him and He will direct your paths......
