Patricia - I struggle with this verse also. Read verse 13 as well for better context. Then refer back to Psalm 34:19. and James 1:2-4 These verses are to encourage you in times of trouble - when we are doing all the right things, walking in righteousness and yet we still find outselves in adverse circumstances. God gets glory not from our affliction, but through our faith in Him to mould us, shape us, and conform us into the likeness of Christ through trying circumstances, and delivering us when we are perfected in this process.
