Philippians 1:19 For I am well assured and indeed know that through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) this will turn out for my preservation (for the spiritual health and welfare of my own soul) and avail toward the saving work of the Gospel.
SUMMARY: This verse was written by Paul to the church while he was in jail for preaching the gospel. Paul informed the church that his trials and tribulations of being in jail was good for his spiritual health and soul.

When we go through trials and tribulations, we should take a moment and consider how trials can help us develop spiritually.
-Small Trial: Someone cuts us off while driving.
Instead of getting road rage, use this time to develop thanksgiving. Thank God an accident did not happen.
-Medium Trial: Our boss disciplines us harshly.
Instead of losing our jobs by returning word for word, we can use this time to develop humility by respecting authority (1 Peter 2:13); develop our discipleship by showing the love of God in spite of their ways (John 13:35); and activating self control which is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22).
Hard Trial: We lose our job and the bank is attempting to foreclose on the house.
Instead of going into depression, we can use this time to develop and activate our faith in God’s word. God’s word says He will supply all our needs (Philippians 4:19) and God gives us all the things we need in every situation (2 Corinthians 9:8).

We should use our trials instead of our trials using us.
