The Christian must know that the season, measure, and continuance of his sufferings are appointed by Infinite Wisdom, and designed to work for his everlasting good; and that grace and strength shall be afforded him according to his need.

Faith upholds a Christian under all trials, by assuring him that every painful dispensation is under the direction of his Lord.
