If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. - Prov. 24:10
"Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses applied simultaneously," said Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve during the October 1995 general conference. "When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more. (See Prov. 3:11-12.) He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion which polish you for your everlasting benefit. To get you from where you are to where He wants you to be requires a lot of stretching, and that generally entails discomfort and pain."
