All in Suffering

Are you suffering in some way today? Have you been in prayer concerning it? If so, how do you perceive the agony you are enduring, and in what way are you asking that it be lifted from you when you pray? Is your prayer a selfish one as you pray “Father heal me!”, or do you pray A righteous prayer... “Father heal me that you might be glorified, and I might serve you better!”. How do you view the pain you suffer; is it punitive, or an opportunity afforded you by God to bring glory to His name?

In times of pandemic it is easy to feel confused, and not know how best to behave, or deal with the circumstances that confront us. We find ourselves unable to properly handle illness, suffering, and death, or to remain hopeful when we have lost our jobs, or even our homes. All of these things can bring on a feeling that we are lost, but In this moment of our greatest travail God calls us to come the closest.
