Trials and Tribulations

Right now I'm going through more trials, big and small, than I want to...you've all been there. What has helped YOU? For me, I know the only thing that will is surrendering fully to God. But isn't that easier said than done? Because the way I look at it is like this: If I can't serve God in the trials, I can't serve him when there aren't any...and also if I'm not going to fully devote my life, well that's just not devotion.
