Trials and Tribulations

ME: God, are you crazy or have you forgotten that I am your child! My life is full of trials and tribulations, ups and downs and heartaches and pains. All I tried fail and I can't seems to find the peace and enjoyment that others find in this life.

GOD: My child, I love you and that's why I allow these things to happen to you so you can be equiped for your task ahead.

ME: I don't understand.

GOD: Ok, let Me help you understand. Turn to James 1: 2-7 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you,  But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
Hebrew 12:6-8 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
So you see my child, I am not crazy neither have I forgotten your place as My child, I only want the best for you. Like the clay in the potter's hand all I want you to do is yield and let Me fashion you in my likeness.

ME: Ok, Lord help me to yield to your will.
