Thou shalt have treasure in heaven: . . . come and follow me.—I am . . . thy exceeding great reward.
Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.—They shall reign for ever and ever.
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

If the affliction is sent to test us so that our words would glorify God, it will only end once He has caused us to testify to His praise and honor . In fact, we would not want the difficulty to depart until God has removed from us all the honor we can yield to Him.
