"I am concerned about their suffering." God spoke this in (Exodus 3:7)
God loves you and is so concerned about yours suffering. Job wrote this during all his suffering
" But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction" (Job 36:15) Are you hearing him to speak to you during your suffering? He is speaking to you- press in till you hear him in your heart & soul.
Psalm 22:24
"For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help" He hears all your cry's. Never stop going to him! Press into him.
Psalm 119:50
"My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life." He holds promise of deliverance! Do you truly believe that? Do you trust him?
God Cares and Loves you So much that he sent his only begotten Son to carry away your suffering.
He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. (Isaiah 53:3)
You can never feel alone that our Living God came down to suffer. Not only did he suffer for us because of our transgressions but you could never enter his presence and say "you don't know what I'm feeling" because he has lived it all! He has felt every emotion, he had experienced every human trouble. There is nothing new under the sun (SON).
Jesus Came for the people THEN......He Comes to the Rescue of His people NOW!
His Power did NOT die! His Power Rose him from the Dead and then was sent down into all of us through the Holy Spirit! In this Power we become free from suffering. Just as people flocked to him then to be set free, people flock to the altar and into his presence to be given freedom from suffering!
Jesus Said
“Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” (Mark 5:34)
“Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” (Mark 5:34)
You have prayed, prayed, prayed,....................begged.................bargained.......prayed, prayed, prayed.........pleaded............given up...........given in...............lost hope...........You find no relief in the suffering...............Why are you still suffering? There is so much to learn about suffering. For without suffering and turmoil then we lose so much. Through some suffering we gain so much.

The Glass is not Half Empty, it's Half Full. Perspective leads to Victorious Life no matter how much the sufferings.
