Perseverance in the face of trials and/or suffering means trusting God enough to ask Him to calm us in our storms, instead of merely asking Him to calm the current storms.

When the storms of life press us on every side; when the gales of rebellion blow and the temptations and trials rain down on us like monsoons, may we be found leaning into the wind, sometimes moving forward, sometimes simply standing, but always with our eyes fixed on Jesus, the "author and finisher of our faith."
