How do you handle suffering? How to deal with trials and troubles?
We all suffer. No one is exempt. When most people are in the throes of trials and tribulations, they tend to ask themselves one of two questions: The first question is, “Why is this happening?” The second is, “How am I going to handle this?”
By asking these two questions, the sufferer is seeking clarity during a very trying time. The “Why” questions are a search for meaning and purpose in suffering; the “How” questions are a search for ways to adjust to the situations.
There is no pit so deep that He is not deeper still
Corrie Ten Boom once said, “There is no pit so deep that He is not deeper still.” She was trying to relay this point to those that are hurting, that God is bigger than their problems. Not only is He bigger, but He is also wiser than they are, so He can help them deal with any confusion they may have in this life.
