1. James 1:2-5
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you are involved in various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.But you must let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to everyone generously without a rebuke, and it will be given to him."

4. Romans 8:28-29
