We can shift our perspective when starting trials as training. When I was in a season of trial after trial. I was thinking about how this is trial × meaning I don’t even know how much I’ve been through but I understood that God was also telling me that it’s not trial × but training × and that relieved and shifted my perspective so much.
We can see challenges, tribulations, persecutions, tests, and trials as just that, or we can see them as training seasons. Training to be more established in your faith, unshakeable, more patient and having the quality of perseverance, growing your trust and endurance. All these do is to train you and what God placed in you.
