God's grace in the midst of our sufferings

God feels and knows every fear, anxiety, anguish, confusion and torment you go through.
God cries when you cry. God hears every prayer you cry out to Him. He lists down every single prayer you say to Him.

But in the midst of trials and sufferings, sometimes it's hard to feel God's love for you.

I have been there. I have seen my friend been there.

It's hard. "Where's God? I need His help."

We cannot understand. We cannot see His way and will for us. We cry out to Him.

No one understands you and what you are going through. But God does. He is there for you. He is always there for you. He works in ways we can't see.

God never intends for us to suffering. It pains Him to see His children suffer and cry. We chose to suffer.
Yes, human have a heart, we feel, therefore we feel hurt and pain too. But God knows our hurt and pains. He feels it, together with us.

But we have a choice. We can choose to rest in God. To trust in Him. To lean not on your own understanding but on His understanding. To struggle no more but rest in His peace. To let go and surrender all your issues and problems to Him. He can move the mountains, but we can't. He is the change, let Him change and touch your life. You will marvel at His glory. He is always good.

Then comes patience. You wait. He will not delay in His coming. At the right time, He will come. Surely.

God knows our weaknesses. He sends people to strengthen, encourage and comfort us. I always find people with the gift of prophesy a blessing. How healing the word of God brings! How precious is the Word in those crucial and trying moments! Supernaturally, people anointed by God will deliver the exact right words to me, strengthening, encouraging and comforting me. How did these people know? They don't know. Sometimes they don't even know the significance of the Word they are passing forth. But God knows. God uses these people to speak to you.

May we ourselves strive to be a blessing to others. 1 Corinthians 14 "Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophesy....everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort."
