I read this phrase in a book once and it really stuck out to me. What if what we are going through has a purpose? What if we need to stop running away from our suffering and start living in the moment? Remember no matter what you may be going through there is always someone going through worse.

Think about 2 Corinthians 12: 9 – 10 which says, “

⁹But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. ¹⁰That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

So when we face trials of any kind we can be assured it’s for the glory of God. Yes the process is painful. We may even feel Hopeless. But, there is a way out. Jesus endured all that and more. So try to think positive and think of the lesson and God’s glory over the situation.
