Your Question:
Is God still with me even in suffering?
Answer:
As I sit here, reflecting on my own experiences with suffering, I am reminded of the words of Scripture. It's clear that God is not distant or disinterested in our pain. In fact, He is moved by our suffering and is actively working to turn it into something good. This is a truth that I've come to understand through my own struggles, and it's one that has brought me comfort and peace. As a pastor, I've had the privilege of walking alongside many people who are going through difficult times, and I've seen firsthand the way that God can use suffering to draw us closer to Himself. It's not that He causes the suffering, but rather that He is gracious and loving enough to make it count. He sees the big picture, and He knows that our struggles are not in vain. This is a truth that I've come to rely on, even in the midst of my own struggles. My experience with suffering has taught me that God is not just a distant deity, but a loving Father who is actively involved in our lives. He is not just a God of comfort, but also a God of challenge, who uses our struggles to refine us and make us more like Himself. This is a truth that I've come to understand through my own experiences, and it's one that I've seen played out in the lives of countless others.
