These are two scripture passages I read this morning.

Both are quoted from the NLT:

"We can rejoice, too,

when we run into problems and trials,

for we know that they help us develop endurance.

And endurance develops strength of character,

and character strengthens

our confident hope of salvation.

And this hope will not lead to disappointment.

For we know how dearly God loves us,

because he has given us the Holy Spirit

to fill our hearts with his love."

Romans 5:3-5

"If you fail under pressure,

your strength is too small."

Proverbs 24:10
