A. God uses your trials & temptations for good:

ROM 8:28. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

JAM 1:2. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

JAM 1:3. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

JAM 1:4. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

1PE 1:6. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

B. Chastenings prove God loves you & that you're His child:

DEU 8:5. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

PRO 3:11. My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

PRO 3:12. For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

HEB 12:5. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

HEB 12:6. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

HEB 12:7. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

HEB 12:8. But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

HEB 12:9. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

HEB 12:10. For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

HEB 12:11. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

HEB 12:12. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

REV 3:19. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

JOB 5:17. Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

PSA 11:5. The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

1CO 11:32. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

C. Remember that sorrow will give way to joy:

PSA 30:5. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

MAT 5:4. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
