One way to assess difficulty in our lives is to take inventory of the following sources in our assessment.
Correction - the act of lovingly restoring a person to a right path and aligning their character with God's truth
Affliction - any state of pain, distress, hardship, or oppression—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual
Sanctification - the process of being set apart for God’s purposes and transformed to become holy and more like Jesus Christ
Thorn - it represents curses, punishment, spiritual hindrances, severe opposition, or persistent suffering
