Suffering….

Roman’s 5:3&4 NIV
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance , character and character hope.

In suffering there is fear…and if you fear while suffering then you are not placing your full trust in God that he will see you through.

Instead of being fearful, angry, anxious and bitter…embrace your time of suffering …rejoyce at the chance to call out to God and lean all your trust in Him. Seize the time of your suffering as joyous,  for this is a time for you to come closer to God and grow.

1 Peter 5:10
And the God of all grace, who called you into his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
