Topic: Faith And Suffering

No matter what you think of God and no matter who you consider creates suffering, consider suffering a personal test. Consider suffering to be a test of personal endurance. Think of suffering as if you are in the center of a great communications network connecting you to millions of other people all over the globe. In this scenario, consider how your response to suffering will impact these millions of other people. In our pain, we get incredibly selfish. However, seeing our pain as a test connecting our life to millions of other people helps us see the reality of our faith. The reality of your faith tells us our life really does connect to millions of other people all over the globe. Your life connects directly to others and most certainly your life connects to others through the actions of God. Faith is tested by suffering. However, you can strike back at suffering by using your faith. When you strike back at suffering, do so actively by seeing the Lord's hand molding and shaping people all over the world because of how your respond to your suffering. When you have faith, miracles always follow, either in the present or definitely in the future. 

Matthew 13:58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.

Matthew 14:31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
