2 Chronicles 14:6-7

Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every kind of distress. But as for you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is a reward for your work.  

We will be rewarded for remaining faithful to God. Yes, it will take work, time, and effort but God will strengthen us as we move forward. When the nations are troubled, keep standing on the word! God is our courage and strength and keeps us safe.
