Many things will come in life to try your faith in God. As Christians we must hold fast to our faith in Him knowing that it is He who keeps us. However, there will be temptations to fall back into the old-self that the Lord has delivered us from. There will be resentments, feelings of inferiority and even affliction for us to deal with.
Trails are not meant to break us but rather to strengthen our faith in God. When we confess our faith in God we can expect Him to test it. God does not always bring the trial but He does often allow them in order to grow us.
Key Verse
1 Peter 1:6-7 NIV
6 …though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
