One of the biggest things that can help when theirs suffering is encouragement and the reminder that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You perhaps already have been called upon to be a righteous sufferer. Jesus has repeatedly explained in Scripture to expect sufferings in this life; and in particular, sufferings for righteousness sake. The ultimate righteous sufferer was Jesus. In Isaiah 53:3 it says of Jesus, “He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.” “Everyone who wants to live a godly life will be persecuted.” To be a righteous sufferer is a good thing. In fact, it’s a mark of your identification with Jesus.
No matter how bad things may get you need to stay committed to God and the praise and worship of Him. God is always worthy of your praise. In Revelation 4:11 it says, “The Lord is worthy to receive glory and honor and power, for He created all things, and by His will they were created and have their being."Hebrews 10:36-37 says, “persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while, ’He who is coming will come and will not delay…”
Contrary to what your senses will sometimes tell you, God is faithful to His promises. He always keeps His word. The Bible itself is a record of God’s faithfulness to His Word. God is faithful; He is true to His Word down to the smallest of points of detail.
Contrary to what you might sometimes think, God will never abandon you.
Sometimes you might think to yourself, ’where is that promised light that is supposed to be at the end of the tunnel?’ The “light” is there, but sometimes what you need is someone by your side to help you see it.
Are you doing your part as it pertains to being an encourager? Encouragers set good examples. Christian encouragers try to help others live a life that is faithful to Jesus. Christian encouragers come alongside others and give them their hands and shoulders with the purpose of strengthening the other.
While sometimes bad situations seem like they are going to last forever, they won’t. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Ultimately it’s found in Jesus and in your Heavenly home. In the mean time, you need to encourage each other.
