Faith in times of trial
How to hold on to faith when life becomes very hard.
What the Bible can tell you
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
James 1:2

1 Peter 1:6
Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
Romans 5:3
A human reading
A trial is not always understood in the moment. But many people say their faith grew deeper in hard times. Holding on through small practices, like prayer or companionship, helps you go through it.
