This week we dive into the Book of James and learn about trials. Trials are hard and they show a testing of our faith. We are to count it all as joy as trials bring us closer to God. Joy is something we develop, not something we discover. Trials are painful but the pain has a purpose. Joy is found in the presence of God when we face trials. This week is Part 1 of 2 of how we learn to be in the presence of God while we face trials in life.
