HEBREWS 12:10b-13
God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share his holiness. Now, discipline always seems painful rather than pleasant at the time, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.
The more you are in the flesh the more will you chafe under trials and suffering and you will profit little from them. The nearer a soul draws to Me the more the soul lies quiescent knowing that chastisement is necessary to root out imperfections. Growing in holiness entails purification in the fiery furnace of trials and tribulations. All growth requires death to self in order to be born again to new life. So pray and ask for the grace constantly to say always and in every difficult situation, 'May Your will be done.' Only when you have surrendered completely to the will of the Father will you find enduring peace and rest for your soul and you will receive the answer to your prayers. You will either be healed or you will be given all the graces necessary to endure every trial with faith knowing that all things work for good for those that love Me.
