Bertron recalls many difficulties and trials that he has experienced, and expresses the trials, the emotions, and the deep effects. And Bertron looks to the Lord through His Word for grace to work with and handle these tribulations, so with the Lord's grace, he was able to look at these trials in the "right" perspective. He writes of these trials and his lessons of grace in hope to "comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith" he "is comforted of God" (2Cor.1:4)
