When you are going through a trial, you often ask, "How long will this last?" Instead of focusing on the future time when you will come out of a trial, focus on Me moment by moment, and you then will be able to endure the trial. When you focus on My presence with you through every trial, you will have the blessed experience of trusting in Me more and more each day.
I sent My Holy Spirit to comfort you and strengthen you on your journey through trials. My Spirit will give you the ability to endure every trying situation. Know with assurance that I would love to deliver you instantly from trying times, but as you will see in My Word, instant deliverance from trials was the exception rather than the rule.
Every trial that you face is a test of faith. Paul wrote, "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory: While we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen, for the things that are seen are temporary, but the things that are not seen are eternal (2 CORINTHIANS 4:17-18)." Focus on the things eternal when you go through trials. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.
