Insignificant troubles

Always bear in mind what Moses had to put up with –the two million grumbling people– how greatly he prayed with so much love for his people. How he was tormented for years on end in the desert, until he brought them to the Promised Land.

If you recall this, it’ll give you abundant courage and you’ll never complain about your troubles, which are insignificant compared to those of Moses.
