Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.
Deuteronomy 8:2 NIV
In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
1 Peter 1:6-7 NIV
As long as we are on Earth we are going to go through trials and temptations, but what really matters is how we respond to them. Our old lives will respond differently and now that we've been made new in Christ we respond differently. But the key to our new response is Christ, for without him we can slip back to our old being very easily. For even Christ himself was tempted not just in the desert, but continuously right up to the very 'Hour' on the Cross.
I pray that God our loving Father give you the Grace through his Son Jesus Christ to boldly face trails and to resist temptations that come your way and may His Holy Spirit strengthen your endeavor. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
