Ponder : Suffering is an inevitable part of life, (Jn 16:20 & 33), but it doesn't have to be meaningless. Suffering becomes a powerful prayer, if we don't become angry or disgruntled with it, but we surrender and offer it up to God as a prayer for ourselves, our family, friends, the world...
Consider : If you endure when you are beaten for doing wrong, what credit is that? But if you endure when you do right and suffer for it, you have God's approval. 1Pet 2:20 (Read 1Pet 4:15-16; Rom 5:3-4).
Answer : Are you willing to accept suffering and make it a prayer, so as to be filled with a deep and abiding peace, and yield yourself to be transformed in unimaginable ways?
Implore : O Jesus my Lord, teach me to embrace the mystery of unavoidable sufferings of life and help me to be ever mindful of others who suffer and "reach out to them in their distress."
God wants to transform you AND the way you live your life! SURRENDER!
