Quote:
Life has many ways of testing a person's will, either by having nothing
happen at all or by having everything happen all at once.
~ Paulo Coelho, poet, writer {submitted by Rev. Nancy}

James 1:12
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has
stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised
to those who love him.

Prayer:
My Lord,
I often think of periods of testing as being a series of trials. But times
of testing can also be periods of silence or when nothing seems to be
happening at all. Help me to see through these times of testing so that
I am steadfast under trial. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
