Ascension through Redemption

Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith has a chance to really grow, so let it grow. Don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You'll get his help, and won't be condescended to when you ask for it. (Simply) Ask boldly, believingly, without second guessing God.
