Proverbs 24:10
New International Version (NIV)
10 If you falter in a time of trouble,
how small is your strength!
Times of trouble can be useful. They can show you who you really are, what kind of character you have developed. In addition, they can help you grow stronger. When Jeremiah questioned God because of the trouble he faced, God asked how he ever expected to face big challenges if the little ones tired him out (see Jeremiah 12:5 below). Don't complain about your problems. The trouble you face today is training you to be strong for the more difficult situations you will face in the future.

5 “If you have raced with men on foot
and they have worn you out,
how can you compete with horses?
If you stumble in safe country,
how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?
