God does not grant a great gift without a great trial.
… There is no man who will not feel oppressed at the time of training. And there is no man who will not find bitter the time when he is given the virulent potion of trials to drink.
… As long as you are journeying in the way to the city of the kingdom, and are drawing near the city of God, let this be for you a signpost: the strength of the temptations you encounter.
Isaac the Syrian.
