As discouraging as trials can be, no amount of complaining or self-pity can ever bring about a solution. In fact, our negative thoughts and attitudes actually make our problems worse. So how can we maintain a proper perspective when our problems weigh heavily on our shoulders? Dr. Stanley reminds us that trials and challenges are no time for frustration, but rather a time to shine for Christ. Recognize that adversity is a tool the Master uses to shape us. It will not only help you survive your difficulties, but also find victory in them.
