Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope

And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. who has been given to us. Romans 5:5

Father God, I may not understand my situation, but please help me understand it is all for your glory, that by going through trials I am building my trust and my faith in you and leaning on your strength to get through difficult times. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to build perseverance, character, and hope, O God. May your Holy Spirit fill me with your joy and hope even in my sufferings, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
