Do any of these words describe your life right now? Painful. Overwhelming. Unfair. Those are some words that I use to describe seasons of suffering. Without fail, one other word invades my thoughts every time I’m hurting. “Why?”
If you are in a difficult season of pain and questioning right now, I pray that His words bring you comfort.
“…suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” Romans 5: 3-4
As much as it may not feel like it, what if there are life lessons learned only through suffering?
- It develops our character.
- It fosters perseverance.
- And it loosens the grip we have on temporary things.
I pray that you find comfort today if you’re in a season of suffering. And I pray that God, as only He can do, will foster hope, even now, in your life. – Sandi
