Suffering is something that we all must endure and to different degrees. Job said it best I think when in Chapter 13 Verse 15 he states " Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him. " We are called to suffer. To work out ends of righteousness and love are you called; not merely to enjoy or suffer.- S.R. Hirsch, "Nineteen Letters," 1836 When you are a born again believer and you have pain and suffering that is so deep it truly brings you to kiss the feet of Hope and Grace. Only Jesus can touch the hurt it is only him that can soothe the pain. Suffering is precious; it is a divine covenant.- Jonathan, Mekilta, to Exodus It is precious however when we are in the midst the hurt that we experience seems far from precious at that moment we long just to be with Jesus, just to be with Him. It is through Prayer and supplication that trials disappear. A wrestling with God. Remember no pressure no diamonds ! In HIS grip and grace ...

II Cor. 4:8-9 is one of my personal favorite passages. It gave me strength after September 11. As I continue on this Christian walk, I've come to find that trials are a given and that it's our response to them, rather than the trials themselves, that help us grow.
