Why do we suffer? Suffering is a result of living in a fallen world. Affliction is working for our good. But it doesn’t feel good.

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:18, 28

As we walk through tribulation/suffering, how are we to respond? “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!” Phil 4:4.

I know what you are thinking, “really, try going through what I am going through.” 

Jesus understands what you are going through. The book of James says, “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray.” James 5:13

Take all your pain to Jesus. He will lift you up mightly.
