From your laziness, neglect, and foolishness:
Jas 1:2-4: Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
From your unbelief:
1Pe 1:6-7: In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
From your impatience:
Rom 5:3: And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;
From your ungodliness:
Heb 12:10-11: For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness. All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
From your waywardness and lost condition:
Act 14:22: strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.”
From your lack of concern for others:
2Co 1:4: who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
From wrong priorities:
2Co 4:17: For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,
From failure to repent:
Rev 2:22: ‘Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds.
From lack of prayer:
Psa 86:7: In the day of my trouble I shall call upon You, For You will answer me.
From your sinfulness:
1Pe 4:1-2: Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
From yourself!!
Heb 12:8: But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
