One stanza in my favorite hymn is: 

When through fiery trials your pathway will lie,
My grace, all sufficient, will be your supply.
The flames will not hurt you; I only design
Your dross to consume and your gold to refine.

It hits me particularly this week as I am going through some difficult trials.  And I realize I have only two options in dealing with the trials.  First, I can stand on my own abilities and fight the trial head on.  The problem with that doing it on my own is I will only come away battered and bruised.  The trial more than likely will win!  Option two is to see the trial as this stanza points out as an opportunity for God to shape me and mould me for his service.  Notice the words of the last verse.  "The flames will not hurt you I only design your dross to consume and your gold to refine."  God will use this trial I am going through to refine me.  It will not be easy and at times the task seems daunting but God will prevail.  I will turn the situation over to him and allow him to guide me through.  His grace is sufficient.
