"And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, Who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you." 1 Peter 5:10
So many times, people ask why does God allow suffering?
Joyce Meyers answers that question with another question:
"If God only blessed us after we became believers- if He took away all suffering, hardship, and turmoil for Christians- wouldn't it be a way to bribe people into the faith?"
Prayer:
"My Master and my God, forgive me for always wanting the easy life. I admit that I don't want to suffer, and I don't like it when things go wrong. But I ask You to help me have a good attitude and trust You to bring good out of it. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen"
**********My Thoughts***********
I really don't know about how I feel about this. I know I need trust that God has everything all planned out, but man, the wait is miserable.
My suffering is internal and external. All I can do is trust that we are on the right path to healing the bruises permanently.
Each day without an anger rage is a victory and I am so very grateful for that.
