tested faith develops perseverance

James 1:2-3
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.”

do i consider it PURE JOY whenever i face trials of many kinds? have i developed perseverance when my faith has been tested in the past?

Heavenly Father, when i am facing trials, help me to remember to consider those trials with pure joy. i believe that your Word is true and i have experienced true perseverance when my faith has been tested. i know that this perseverance comes from You. thank you.
