Have you ever noticed it says "under" trial? Like it's on top of you, weighing down on you...

picking up on J's insight...yes it does feel like it's on top of you, pressing you down...crushing at times...then scripture says "when he has STOOD the test"

Prayers to stand strong...just keep standing in the Lord.

Love you
