The place of Pain our lives...

What we believe about the place of pain in our lives determines how we try to cope with it. If we believe that pain belongs in our lives because God has ordained it, then we will be more inclined to accept it. When stress and pain enter our lives we must choose to either resist or leave our situation in God’s hands. It is very difficult to live both ways – to trust God with our pain and try to control it at the same time.
