The comfort in suffering
is the hope that the
Lord will finally deliver us
because the Lord lives
to save us
(Ref.: Job 19:2).

In our suffering, our
prayers and wishes may be
that God would be
willing to kill us by ending our lives
(Ref.: Job 6:8-9).

When waves of suffering
continually crash upon us,
our hearts will be
restless, unable to find peace,
thinking that God has
thrown us into the storm.
At that time, we will
stumble and cry out for help here and there
(Ref.: Job 30:22, 27-28).
When no one comes to our
aid, what should we do?
This hymn comes to mind:
" Jesus, my Lord to Thee I cry; Un-less Thou help
me I must die:
Oh, bring Thy free salvation
nigh, And take me as I am.."
(Hymn: “Jesus, My Lord
to Thee I Cry," Verse 1).

Perhaps God binds us
with "the chains of suffering and the cords of affliction,"
to show us our prideful
deeds and wrongdoings, and to make us listen to "words of warning,"
so that we turn away
from sin (Ref.: Job 36:8-10).
