Trial vs Temptation

It looks like the root of unbelief is stemmed by temptation having the potential to become a trial leading to death. This scripture comes to mind….Blessed [is] the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. Jam 1:12-15.

I like this little chart that someone once mapped out for me:
Trial
… No action
… Tears Down
… Anger
… Decreases Trust
… Run Away
… Increases Fear
Results in Distance from God

Temptation
… Act in Faith
… Increases Good
… Increases Joy
… Increases Trust
… Increases Obedience
… Increases Faith
Results in Closeness to God

Other scriptures to keep in mind if you're helping others work through trials / temptations:

1 Timothy 1:8-17 is a letter from Paul to Timothy encouraging him to love others, beware of false doctrine and to remember the mercy that transforms the worst sinners into the best saints.

Ephesians 4 is a letter from Paul to the Ephesians encouraging them towards unity in the body, with humility, gentleness, patience and love. Also encouraging them to walk as children of light, not to give the devil a foothold and to forgive others. Ephesians 4:17-32 would be good to pray over for yourself or others.

Ephesians 5 dictates that we are to be wise, making the most of every opportunity, speaking in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.

Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Hbr 3:12-13
