I like how James puts it: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know THAT THE TESTING OF YOUR FAITH developes persevernce..."
It is the testing of our faith that produces the positive things for our faith life: maturity, perseverance, completion, etc. But when do have "faith trials?" Sometimes is comes from outside ourselves (persecution and the like) and sometimes from ourselves - how we react and view the things in life. I do not have any of the former but I have quite a bit of the latter.
Time to ask for the wisdom.
