Trials are a part of life. We all face times where we feel overwhelmed with life, carry big burdens of grief, feel exhausted with the many responsibilities on our plates, and even feel depressed and life seems to be against us. While life can be tough at times we don't have to sacrifice our joy and Peter gives us guidance as to how we can endure trials with joy by rejoicing in God's past mercy, His future gift and His present purpose. (1 Peter 1:3-9)
