Isaiah 38:17
Surely it was for my benefit that I suffered such anguish. In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back.
When things seem to go wrong and you're struggling to get through tough times, know that the Lord is good and all things happen so that the end product is one that benefits you and brings glory to God. God always puts us in situations where He knows we can overcome by His strength. When we do stumble, God is there to pick us up and forgive us for our inequities... He is gracious so that we can continue living in His guiding light.
We are born into a world of sin. None of us are perfect people so we are bound to fall short of the glory of God. However, when we live a life of service and faithfulness to the Lord, He will double the blessings to our sin because we are faithful and trust Him.
The reminder: Tough times are times that God helps us stand back up and to learn from the experience/challenge. Don't be discouraged because we sin (it's natural), be encouraged that God will continue to bless you despite of your sin.
