3. 1. trials according to james 1: 2-4
Jas 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
Jas 1:3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
Jas 1:4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

4. 2. SUFFERINGS ACCORDING TO PAUL’S EXPERIENCE
2Co 4:8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
2Co 4:9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—
2Co 4:10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
2Co 4:11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

5. 3. Overwhelming disaster HACCORDING TO hABAKKUK
Though the fig tree may NOT blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labour of the olive may FAIL,
And the fields yield NO food;
Though the flock may be CUT OFF from the fold,
And there be NO HERD in the stalls—
Hab 3:18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
Hab 3:19 The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer's feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills.

6. When we go through trials, sufferings and disasters we often asked: Where is god? Why me? How long?
