Christians -- how do you handle trials?

Just curious.

I made a little tune/video about what I think St. Paul says:

    Nice, very nice.

    If that is your voice, you sounded beautiful.

    I have had my share of trials in life and I have written this and shared it to help others:

    When troubles come, you don't know why.

    You don't understand. You are in darkness.

    Trust the Lord, to bring you through,

    And when He does, the darkness will be lifted.

    You will understand, and you will know why the trouble came:

    1-To strengthen your faith

    2-To increase your faith

    3-To encourage others in trouble

    4-For God to receive the glory

    5-To reveal any sin in your life

    6-To draw you closer to God

    Trials will come in everyone's life.

    But it's not what happens to you, it's how you handle it.

    I wrote a song about a major trial I went through, and someday I'll post it on you tube.

    Same way I handle everything else - one step at a time. The only way you can handle trials. You don;t allow them to get bigger than you can deal with and if they do you cut it down into smaller more manageable pieces.

    And to continue praising God and asking Him for strength and guidance.

    With all due respect for your no doubt catchy little ditty, I'm just going to answer the question, rather than stroke your 'ego'.

    Christians -- how do you handle trials?

    ~~~ "Allah gives and Allah takes away, Blessed Be His Name!"

    (Whatever name!)

    I 'handle' 'trials' the same as I 'handle' Blissful moments;

    "Do what you know to be right, say what you know to be true, and leave with faith and patience the consequences to god!" - F.W. Robertson

    "YHVH gives and YHVH takes away, Blessed Be His Name!"

    (What-ever name!)

    What is 'Humility'?

    What is 'Pride'?

    ("'Pride' is thinking you're Humble!")
