I need an Biblical example to follow because my life is so arduous. Thank you.

St. Joseph.
Never said a word, but God trusted him with His son, he defended the Holy Family, and presumably taught Jesus his craft and faith (along with Mary).

St Paul should be up there. Talk about a dynamo!

I find myself being David (and Solomon and Jesus) by using the Psalms as my own prayers and groanings. They match what I need the LORD to call to mind.

Joseph - the owner of the multicolored coat Joseph. From a pit (via his own brothers), to a caravan of Ishmaelites, to Potiphar’s wife, to jail - he pretty much saw it all and kept the faith.

Moses and Abraham probably had the longest stories (Moses we know about from his birth to his death), and there’s a lot to unpack in both accounts.
But they weren’t the most virtuous men in the Bible, they made mistakes and committed sins, alongside with their laudable deeds.

St Paul.
2 Corinthians 10
I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. 24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, 26 I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers. 27 I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. 28 Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn?
