God Make The Pain Go Away
Updated: Jul 22, 2021
When we face pain and suffering, it is easy to look to God and ask why he is allowing this to happen. We must remember that God in His love and mercy doesn't want us to experience bad things, and in fact, often spares us from them by His mighty hand. (ever had a near miss accident?) It is not wrong to ask God to take away something bad, but as sinful people, we need to do so in humility and with patience. The link below is to a devotion by Sharon Jaynes. She writes about this topic, but takes it a step further. What if by going through something bad, God is doing a new thing or in some way making you better for going through the pain? It takes faith and patience to believe so, but try not to doubt, because God is that good!
Verses for Consideration:
1 Peter 4:19 ESV
Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
Psalm 147:3 ESV
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Psalm 34:18 ESV
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
