Why the christian people suffer?

[Diamond72]

to "wean us away" from sinful thinking/thinking the way we always did before/ "man's way of thinking"

Did God create us to be sinners so He could punish us for being the way He created us to be?

What would you want of your children, even adopted children, in the next ten years ?

1. Because god wants to glorify himself
2. Consequence of some sin
3. Satan asked for proves

I can't stand up since 15 years

In the show "The Chosen", Jesus's disciples asked why they must suffer. Jesus was obviously capable of providing unlimited fish. His response was that He wanted them to truly know what it is like to rely on the Father. Some people may never experience that opportunity. When Little James approached Jesus and wanted to know why He hasn't healed him he said He wanted Little John to show people that he still praises God despite of his condition and to show people that he can be patient with his suffering knowing that he will spend eternity with no suffering.

So there is that. I'm not sure how much of the show aligns with the Bible, but it's a very good show.

Some people have a problem with waiting. They want instant results. God promises He will not disappoint us. Sometimes He does ask us to wait. I remember things I wanted as a kid that I did not get until I was an adult 10 years later. Even things I did not really even want anymore.

Wow! 10 years? I guess that's why some of us may not realize that our prayers are actually being answered. Either that or they don't happen in the way we'd expect. I remember watching a TV episode where a guy prayed to be closer to his father. His plane went down and him and his father had to survive in the ocean for days. He certainly did become closer to his father - just not in the way he expected.

Ours is a broken world. That's why Jesus, a man of sorrows, had to suffer and die.

Wow! 10 years?

I waited 17 years for a wife in between marriages. I was engaged lots of times but it never seemed to work out.

Hebrews 11 lists many people who had faith. They trusted God, but sometimes did not even live to see what he had promised.

Ahh, probably one of the most common things people ask for besides money since it fulfills one of the biggest parts of our lives. Sounds like everything worked out.
