In church recently we talked about Perseverance through suffering. CS Lewis has a lot to say on this topic:
God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain.
We're not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.
If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.
The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not.
