The Lord brings us into a narrow way, not because He is sadistic and likes to see us suffer, but because without it we wouldn't seek Him for our strength.We are strengthened in that narrow place. II Corin. 4V8 "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12So then death worketh in us, but life in you." Though we are troubled, and worked over by the things that come at us during the day, we have the ability to go through it and not despair because of the Lord.

Worship & Praise. We have to nurture a love for worship because that's what we are called to do. Give our lives as a worship to God. If we are called to worship, we should practice it and actually enjoy doing it. Why would we want to do something for eternity that we don't like it. Revelation 4:11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”
