Do not grieve that the Lord is testing you and putting you through the ordeal of undergoing difficult times. For, it is only when you are tested, can you assure yourself of success and become aware of your limitations.  You can concentrate on the subjects in which you are deficient, so that you can pass in them when you are tested again.  You should study well in advance and have the courage and confidence, born out of knowledge and skill. This is the pathway to victory.

- Sathya Sai Speaks, Chap 7, Vol 3, Mar 1963. 

"Be tranquil amidst the storm.  The Lord is sweet in every one of His actions"- Baba
