Let perseverance finish its work, so that you may be complete.
James 1:4
Suffering causes us to be self-sufficient or creates us to be Christ-sufficient. If you believe steadfastly on God, trials will strengthen your faith. If you fail to believe, out of trials will flow hopelessness. Take the affliction to God and rest in His sufficiency. Do not attempt to control the affliction or the conditions of the affliction will control you. God will always use sufferings to make you a more sufficient Christian.
Pray to find sufficiency in Christ during suffering.
Live Forever Free,
Matt
