"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ" (1 Peter.1:7 KJV).

We obviously don't have the same kind of trials as the early apostles did, however you may be facing "trials" in your health, finances, relationships or work etc.  What the apostle Peter meant here is that our faith is more precious than gold and that trials prove our faith and only cause our faith to bring us praise and approval from Christ.

Keep standing on the promises of God for whatever you are believing God for because in 1 Kings 8:56 we are told that not one of God's good promises has failed and the apostle Paul wrote that the promises of God are yes and amen in Christ Jesus (2 Cor 1:20).

All things are possible for God (Matt 19:26) and with God dwelling in us, nothing is impossible for us (Phil 4:13). In fact, God said that when we are in a trial, perplexed, at our wits end and at our weakest, then that’s when he can work in our lives at his strongest (2 Cor 12:9).  

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth al understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:6-7). When trials come, role them over on God, pray and enjoy his peace.
