Sometimes, when God calls us to certain trials or suffering, we ask God to deliver us from it, not knowing that in doing so, we do not grow in our faith. So instead, why not ask God to lead us in every step of the way

Suffering is obstacles that are in our life, circumstances that does not favour us and are not easy to overcome. We can choose not to bow down to our inevitable fear and persevere through it by taking up suffering, to die and suffer like Jesus Christ.

We can do so by trusting in Christ and have the confidence that he is watching and helping us along the way. Through this, our faith grow and endurance is developed.

Therefore, we are to become the church wherever we go. We are to talk about our own suffering, endurance and the development of our own character and how actively the hand of God is leading us. By doing this, then we can be strong.
