How to Respond to Suffering in Our Lives1 Peter 4:12-19

We certainly grow accustomed to the finer things in our lives. We often don’t even realize how much we have been blessed until they are gone. If we lose a material possession through no fault of our own, we may feel a sudden loss or if it has been stolen from us, we may feel cheated.

​
But probably nothing can replace the loss that we feel during grief. Or when the health of our loved one or even our own health suddenly changes.

For some, it is possible to lament the loss of a job, loss of respect or reputation, or a change in their financial future. It could be a change in a relationship.

​
Do you despair over a bleak or doubtful future because of change beyond your control?​
