• James 1:2-5
  My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

• Deuteronomy 8:2-3
  And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

• 2 Corinthians 12:7-10
  And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
   
• Hebrews 4:15-16

  In the day of prosperity be joyful,

  There is a just man who perishes in his righteousness,
  And there is a wicked man who prolongs life in his wickedness.

For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
