Whenever you experience suffering, watch this movie. Strengthen your faith in Jesus Christ!

Suffering is an integral part of our lives. At different times, we face physical, emotional, and spiritual pain. It can come from a variety of sources: loss, illness, disappointment, injustice, or tragedy. However, as Christians, we have the certainty that God is with us every step of the way.

In the book of Isaiah we read that God says, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, and the flame will not burn you." These words remind us that God guides and protects us even in the most difficult times. Our lives may be like walking through the waters of a stormy river, but God promises not to overwhelm us. It can be like walking through fire, but God assures us that we will not be burned or burned.
The Bible promises us that God is with us in our sufferings and that He does not leave us alone. Further in the book of Isaiah we read: "Do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your true God! he only understands our suffering, but he is with us every step of the way, ready to help us.
In 2 Corinthians we read the words that God spoke to the apostle Paul in response to his prayer for release from suffering: "My grace is sufficient for you, because my strength in weakness he is made perfect." God tells us that His grace is sufficient to endure hardship. It is in our weakness that His power becomes evident. Like
David in Psalm 23, we can find comfort in the assurance that even when we are going through through the "valley of darkness", we need not be afraid, because God is with us. In this Psalm we read: "Though I walk through the valley of darkness, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your stick and your staff are what comfort me."
Another assurance that God never abandons us is the story of Job. When we look at his story, we see that even in the face of injustice and terrible suffering, God did not abandon him. Job lost wealth, health and loved ones, but in his suffering he turned to God and trusted Him. His faith and perseverance were boundless because he knew that God was faithful and just. In the end, God restored Job what he had lost and blessed him even more. Like Job, we can be sure that God is with us in our sufferings, Psalm 34 says, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, He saves the brokenhearted." God is not only near, but also present in our hearts. in our darkest moments. His mercy and compassion are our strength and comfort.
In a moment of suffering, it is worth reaching for other biblical stories that bring hope and strength. Joseph's story is an example of how God can turn the greatest tragedies into something good. Joseph experienced betrayal, injustice, and imprisonment, but ultimately God exalted him. This story reminds us that God can turn our suffering for good, even if we don't see it at first.
Nor must we forget the promise of future glory that awaits us. Second Corinthians says, "For the little afflictions of our present time are preparing an exceeding great glory for the age to come." What we experience here on earth is not comparable to the eternity that awaits us. God is preparing a place for us in his kingdom where there will be no more suffering, tears or pain.
Further in 2 Corinthians we read: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we can comfort those in any affliction with the comfort which we receive from God." This Word gives us the assurance that God is ready to comfort us in our suffering and to use us to comfort others who are going through similar difficulties.
God not only comforts us in our suffering, but also gives us hope for the future. In the Letter to the Romans we read: "For I consider that the sufferings of this time are nothing compared to the glory that is to be revealed to us." Our suffering is temporary, but the promise of eternal life in God's presence is immutable. Suffering can shape us, develop our faith, and lead us to a deeper understanding of God's glory.
In suffering, it is worth remembering that we are not alone in our struggle. The apostle Peter encourages us in his First Letter, saying: "Face him with perseverance in faith, knowing that the same torment is befalling your brothers all over the world." We are not alone in our trials, but we are part of a larger community of believers who are also going through difficulties. We can support each other, share our experience and strengthen each other in faith.
In times of suffering, when our hearts are filled with pain and doubts, it is worth remembering the words of Jesus in the Gospel according to Saint John. There we read: "In the world you will have tribulation, but take courage! I have overcome the world." Jesus promised us peace in His victory over the world. We can find strength in His words and know that His power is greater than any suffering we face. Let our suffering become the source of our hope, faith and trust in God. Let this be a time when we deepen our relationship with Him and His word. God is close to us, ready to support us, comfort us and guide us through every storm.
Jesus, our Savior, experienced suffering himself during his life on earth. In the Gospel of Matthew, he promised his disciples: "And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the world." This promise is not limited to His disciples. He is with us, His presence accompanies us in our daily lives, no matter how hard our trials are. We are not alone, Jesus is with us in our suffering.
Let our suffering be a reminder that we are not alone. God is with us to guide, comfort and strengthen us in our most difficult moments. We can entrust our concerns, our fears and our pains to Him, knowing that He is with us every step of the way. Therefore, when you are faced with suffering, stop for a moment and remind yourself that God is with you. You can rely on His wisdom, His power, and His love. Open your heart to His leading and let Him work in your life. Let your suffering become an opportunity to grow, to experience God's presence, and to share hope with others who are also going through difficulties. God is with you, and His love and power are constant sources of hope and strength in every situation.
