1Pe 1:6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
1Pe 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
We've all been through trials, some are going through them now, and some may be going through one in the not-too-distant future. Often, when we go through them, they're more than we can handle. Often, like Peter sinking into the stormy sea when he walked on the water to Jesus, we lose our focus and feel overwhelmed by the trial.
When you've been through trials which seemed more than you could handle, were there certain verses that God used to help you stay focused on Him to help you get through the trial? Which promise(s) did you hold onto that helped you the most? What lessons did you learn from your trial that helped you the next time you faced a bigger trial?
