Ascension through Redemption
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith has a chance to really grow, so let it grow. Don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You'll get his help, and won't be condescended to when you ask for it. (Simply) Ask boldly, believingly, without second guessing God. James 1:2-7 MSG
God wills to redeem the challenges we face to change us and advance us toward His purposes!

Run to God not from God
Don’t mistake or see difficulty as God’s disdain for you.
He loves you like crazy and is always for you!
Since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Romans 12:1-2 NLT
No test or temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability to bear, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV
The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10 NKJV
