The Mightiest God!
Do you not know what I (Sennacherib) and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands able at all to deliver their land from my hand? Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed who could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my hand?
Now therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you like this, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand?’ ”

No Righteousness of My Own
Being a righteous person is not about you or me doing good or being a good person. It actually has nothing to do with me or you at all. Being a righteous person is about God and His kingdom.
“Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 6:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.6.1.NASB1995
In serving, in prayer, in worship, in fasting, in living out our salvation, we are to bring the Light of Christ and the glory of God for others to see His kingdom. It is not to show off ourselves as zealot for God.
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, . . .
Matthew 6:33a NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.6.33.NASB1995

Joyful Faith?
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
James 1:2-4 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.2-4.NASB1995
who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.
Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; and others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment.
They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were put to death with the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated (men of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground.
And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised, because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect.
Hebrews 11:33-40 NASB1995
