Just got news of our second miscarriage. I came here to try and make sense of it... it is hard to receive this message right now but thank you God for speaking through Pastor Piper 🙏

[jenniferprater]

This is powerful, however, it's easy to forget in the midst of suffering. I need to listen to this every day until I don't forget that the suffering is to prepare me for the weight of His Glory. Thank you Jesus.

Suffering Produces Perseverance, Character, HOPE!!! THANK YOU, JESUS!!!

[milastark]

I tasted the most painful trials in my lifetime and accepted it as a gift from GOD to identify with my JESUS, my best friend, my ALL

[writelove]

I had to listen to this 4 times it felt so good

[smokeandmirrors-pkic]

I hate suffering but I know that it brings me closer to Jesus

[santabala]

What about 24 years of debilitating anxiety!! Im tyred! Exhausted, I want to dye, yes I recognize that i m a sinner, but I can’t imagine stay that way the rest of my life! Please I need divine help. Im loosing faith!! 🙏

[jirensentry]

God help me suffer over my issues of lust, lack of discipline, fight for purity, for self-control, for Spiritual produce in Christ, for obedience in Christ, for abiding in Jesus Christ, for this insightful view of it all as small and temporarily compared to the everlasting joy of Jesus Christ!

30 to 70 years of shipwrecks, persecutions, beatings, cursings, burnings, depression, sadness, loss, death, betrayals - violations - sinister plots - Satanic buffettings; if I suffer all of these and more and receive GLORY of Christ in heaven and my reward, a share of His oil of gladness, then 5 years of heavenly glory with Christ I say will fade these experiences away! I dare say even a day!

God I pray I learn to obey you fully and completely and soundly to your cause that I may see ahead your glory! Let homeless come! Let this courtship end if it is not for either of us! Let me sleep in my car or walk the streets for days or months - as long as my pain transforms me and conforms me to focus on studying your Way, Your Truth and Your Life to show myself approved; I am used to witness the inerrant and infallible wisdom, knowledge and words of my God and Saviour and I mature in Christ through wisdom, understanding, obedience, abiding in your Spirit, I will be joyed!

Please do not let me go GOD! PLEASE DO NOT LET ME GO!

I've been making bad choices lately and the evil one has been beating me up attacking my mind taunting me in dreams it's really draining but Jesus Christ is 👑 and I love Jesus ❤

[JuliahFL]

I'm praying😊 for all who come here in 2023

[Chirhopher]

Good morning Brethren, Grace, Peace, and LOVE in CHRIST JESUS, GOD Over All, Blessed Forever, Amen. i am paralyzed and happen to be suffering quite exquisitely this morning. YHWH Blessed this to me; just as my pain peaks and i am talking with HIM, this pops up on my phone, right after Psalm 8, which i had been thinking of singing to HIM. May YHWH Bless you with the same great GRACE upon Grace HE Has Given to me and all the more, in CHRIST JESUS, The HOLY HOLY HOLY [ONE].

[davidleitz]

Right on time! Just what I needed to hear. Praise the Lord!

[deusx.machinaanime.]

Hard truth.
The glory of our God in every part of our lives.
May His mercy and grace be upon us all 🙏😇

[destinymoore]

please pray for my mom. i’ve never seen anyone with so much faith yet suffer so much, mentally and physically since a baby. but i’m grateful God loves us and he’s very gracious 🩷

[joelyons]

Just think of Suffering the Lord God Jesus Christ went through to cleanse us of our sins. Our suffering can't even compare to what He went through for us.

[valerieminster]

I have been greatly suffering for months over the death of my daughter. That kind of pain is the worst thing a parent can imagine. It seems so meaningless and pointless for a young.person with so many years ahead to die. I have never prayed or turned to GOD as much as I have since then. This is a lifetime affliction for me. I wish with all.my heart that I had turned to GOD years ago to help my child. I only prayed when she was.in trouble, when she improved I forgot about GOD. I neither read the bible or.prayed consistently. I have asked GOD to forgive me for taking him for granted.I.only truly came to GOD in my brokenness. I dont understand why this way.

[eduardroldan]

I needed this especially today I’ve been suffering daily for the last 7 years over something I find very difficult to speak about and it’s easy to get discouraged and want to give up on hope but Amen 🙏

[riffkart]

That anger of hurt and suffering inside is so painful without tears. I can’t be free! To release my pain!

[jens]

I have listened to this segment of Pastor John’s sermon about 50 times over the years. It has been so enlightening and meaningful to me. Thank you.
