One of the most difficult things for believers, to accept is the place of suffering and trial in our lives. There is a part of me, even as a believer, that would like to believe that since I have trusted Jesus Christ as my Savior, if I'm walking faithfully before Him, He will protect me and keep me from trial and difficulty.

In fact, the Scripture tells me that suffering, trial, persecution is all part of God's plan to mold and shape and prepare me for the glory of His presence.
