SUFFERING IS GOOD FOR US

When we are suffering we may not be in the best mindset to remember it is good for us. However, in the big scope of things, suffering is good for us. God teaches us through our suffering. We are more aware of His presence in our suffering because we are looking to Him for comfort and peace. We usually reach out to His people asking for prayer when we are suffering. Suffering can bring us closer to God and to those who love to serve Him.

Psalm 119:71 "My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees." (NLT)

Dear Lord, thank You for our suffering. We don't like to have struggles and pain in our lives but we have to remember it is good for us. We have to remember suffering can remind us draw closer to You. Suffering can help us be more dependent on You. Suffering can help us rely on Your grace and mercy knowing we can't get through tough times without You. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Suffering can bring us closer to God and to those who love to serve Him.
