When God doesn't take away your pain.

[ByFaith12]

What do?
Keep going until death? If we sons of God have to suffer, we are just half-dead walking through the narrow path. Why other believers have fancy lives, and they are such sinners like us?

I understand God is sovereign, but if we lift our voice, something can change!

jeremiah 12:1

Righteous art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they apply that deal very treacherously.

A lot of the people with those fancy lives you might desire are not going to really tell you the real way they got that fancy life.

God is so busy and has so much going on right now....have you had a limb removed? Terminal cancer? Had an eyeball dugout? What kind of pain do you have?

None of us know the mind of the king

recommend using verses so you know what you're talking about
speak from the Bible
why do you want what you want, or are you living separate from the king


1 Corinthians 2:16
For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

I am a Christian who suffers; I live with god, but the thorn keeps in my flesh.

yours is a happy story

That's the thing though, its not only my story. Read Acts as that is Paul's testimony - and not all of it was "happy".

A miserable life as usual is not the idea

Some men of God suffered. Elijah was raptured to heaven, and Elijah prayed to be killed.
David was a man after God's own heart, and David was practically bipolar if you read his psalms.
Jesus was a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief in Isaiah 53.
Suffering is a part of the human condition and Christians are not immune to it.

Do you only want elated with joy, never to taste sorrow or pain
Heaven will be that way. Don't lean into what God is calling against. Problems come from there/it.

and we're not in heaven, we're on earth, we're going to suffer inevitably.
This idea that if you get saved you'll never have a bad season ever again on earth is health and wealth prosperity Gospel. Not the Gospel of Jesus Christ who taught that in the world we'd have tribulation.
Yes, we're to be of good cheer that after death or at the coming of our Lord we will no longer experience suffering.
But for now, we will. we're not immune.

A miserable life as usual is not the idea

What are you talking about? I'm finding you more and more disingenuous. Read God's Word or not, up to you, but don't spread falsities.

I'm bowing out of this nonsense.
