Therefore, do not be concerned with questions such as ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’.” Because the Gentiles yearn for all of these things, and your heavenly Father understands that you need them all in order to be happy.

17. You will be rewarded for your patience and perseverance.
“But those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar up on wings like eagles; they will run and not be tired; and they will walk and not be faint.” “But those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength,” the Bible says. – The Book of Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)
18. Allow life’s difficulties to shape you into the finest person you can be.
“Consider it pure pleasure, my brothers and sisters, when you are tested in many ways, knowing that the testing of your faith creates patience. Permit, however, patience to do its task so that you may be whole and complete, wanting nothing.” – James 1:24–25 (NKJV)

Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, (KJV)

In God’s eyes, the only pure and flawless religion is this: to take care of orphans and widows in their sorrow and to avoid being tainted by the world. – James 1:27 (NIV) (NIV)
It is not that you do not love God, but rather that you are unaware of God’s love for you that is the source of your difficulty.
“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to die as an atoning substitute for our sins,” says the apostle Paul. – 1 John 4:10 (NIV) (NIV)
23. Nothing will ever be able to separate you from God’s love.
