James 1:1-5

James encourages us to respond to trials by faith in 3 ways

  1. Faith in Jesus makes the believer; endure trials with purpose
  2. Faith in Jesus makes the believer; endure trials to the end (v.4)
  3. Faith in Jesus makes the believer; endure trials with joy (v.2)

If any of you lack the wisdom, the know how, the ability, to endure trials this way, let him or her pray today. 

Pray to Jesus the one who knows what you are going through.

Pray to Jesus the one who can forgive your lack of faith and joy in the midst of trials.

Pray to Jesus the one who can carry you through to the end and then pardon you unto eternal glory.
