There are times in life when we experience trials, pain and challenges. It is easy to question God’s role in our lives during difficult moments – yet Jesus is the ultimate example of showing us purpose in pain. His suffering led to our salvation. Along similar lines, the book of James explains how trials in our lives develop our faith and character. Pain comes in many forms – physical, emotional, mental. Bernadette Todd, a woman in constant physical pain, describes her own journey into a constant state of joy and perseverance throughout all she faces in life.

Isn’t that inspiring? It is overwhelming or even impossible to go through life’s trials alone. But with God’s help, all things are possible (Philippians 4:13). Take a quiet moment with God right now to talk this over. Ask Him for the strength to persevere through pain, whether it be a current painful situation or an unforeseen challenge in the future. Who knows, the way you handle life’s challenges may be an inspiration to those around you.

Hebrews 12:1-2

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

James 1:2-4

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Romans 8:18

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
