suffering – TYPiNG ouT oF THe BLue

Do Not Give Up When Faced with Life’s Difficulties

We have to endure sufferings of every kind: hardships, painful situations, illnesses, death, spiritual trials, misunderstandings, temptations, failures, and so on. What should we do? If we want to be true to our Christian commitment and live it without compromising, we have to believe that those are the most precious moments in our life. Why? Because it is precisely when we are unable to overcome certain trials that afflict our body or soul – and therefore cannot rely on our own strength – that we are in the perfect position to trust in God.

✝️ Prayer to Trust God in Difficulties

Heavenly Father, in trials we often feel weak and defeated. Forgive us when we rely only on ourselves. Thank You for turning our hardships into moments of grace. Teach us to trust You fully, especially when we can do nothing else, so that our weakness may reveal Your strength. Amen.

Have Compassion for Those Who Suffer

Let us be the first to express kindness and compassion! Even if that seems difficult, requiring great courage, we should ask ourselves, in front of any neighbor, “How would their mother treat them?” This is a thought that will help us to understand our neighbor and act in a manner that reflects the love of God.

Lord Jesus, You had compassion on the suffering. Forgive us when we turn away from those in pain. Thank You for teaching us the love of the Father. Help us to act with kindness and courage, treating every person with the tenderness of Your love. Amen.
