Patient Endurance

When we become Christians, we might be tempted to cling to a false belief that our
lives will be problem-free. But the truth is: everyone experiences suffering.
However, when you belong to Jesus, you don’t go through painful situations alone.
And whatever hardships you face—it’s not the end of your story.

God sees us on the best and worst days of our lives, but His love for us does not
change.

He understands our deepest suffering because He experienced it Himself when He

became Immanuel, “God with us.”

When we feel overwhelmed by our circumstances, God can show us how to find rest.
When we give our burdens to Him, He can refresh our heavy hearts.

God can handle our pain because He understands our hardships.

He is trustworthy and faithful. Even when our circumstances feel dark and hopeless—
we can trust that He will carry us through every situation.

Suffering is a part of being human, but we honor God by handing our hardships over
to Him, and looking for the ways that He is at work in our situations.

Today, spend some time with God and talk to Him about your hurts. Ask Him to
comfort you, and tell Him what you need in order to face your circumstances with
courage and strength.
