Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
This week's action:
Action:
When facing a difficulty, pause and consciously choose to view it as an opportunity for growth rather than a setback.
How:
Write down the potential lessons or strengths you can gain from the trial. For example, ask yourself: What is this teaching me about patience, faith, or resilience?
Reminder:
Keep a journal of past challenges and how they ultimately benefited your character or faith. Reflect on these during new trials.
