Seeing Trials as God’s Gift

Lord, increase my faith each day that I might look on all my trials and stresses as important steps in the path you have set for me. So often I dwell on even small problems and disappointments, letting such trivial things steal my attention from you. Let the Holy Spirit come upon me and grant me the clarity and understanding to see your divine will in all the obstacles that I encounter. When life presents me with challenges that I feel unprepared for, help me to abandon myself fully into your hands and trust in your divine wisdom.
