James 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds
God is working Sanctification in your soul, praise God! Your trouble will temp you to put your focus on your idolatrous self. But God wants our focus on Him. You are in the process of learning to set your emotions and contentment on Christ. Idolatry is a wicked task master and will eat your emotions, desire and energy, your very life. Christ on the other hand will set you free to rejoice in all things. The focus is no longer you and what you get.
