Faith can be difficult because it sometimes can plateau. There is no movement. In those moments, we might be tempted to “do something different” to kick-start our faith.
Paul says to be careful, because sometimes we can replace a spiritual relationship with Jesus with spiritual disciplines. When we do that, we exchange relationships with rules.
How can we joyfully stand firm in our faith, even in tough times? By seeing the incredible value that faith in Jesus gives, and by pursuing Jesus above all else.

Citizenship
Difficult circumstances are universal, and one often wonders how a God who loves us would allow so many people to experience so many levels of deep pain and suffering. Why doesn’t he rescue and deliver us from our trials?
The reason is that in God’s hands, our trials can become His tools. Only God could use our setbacks to bring other people into relationship with Himself and encourage a believer to share their faith.
In God’s hands, our trials become His tools.
