Hi,
[Note: The following uses a non-literal read of Iyyov 22:25, a passage with which the classic commentators struggled.]
"One who brings the Name of Heaven into his suffering will receive double the support, as it is written (Iyyov 22:25), 'If Gd is with you in your troubles, then you will receive stronger silver.'"
[Rashi explains "bringing Gd's Name into one's suffering" as thanking Gd for our troubles as we do for our benefits, or as praying to Gd for aid in a time of trouble.]
(Talmud, Berachot 63a)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
