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.
