We all go through difficult moments in life and we become depressed and sometimes question God as to why he would allow us to go through such tough times. We refer to our difficult moments as suffering. The great good God of heaven allows us to suffer as we term it in order to make us strong in our faith in him, to cause us to trust him more. We prove God in our suffering because when he brings us through our suffering, we gain confidence in him. As one song writer states. If we never had a problem, how would we know that God can solve them.

This is my 6th read. Author James Banks led the reader in a 90 day devotional to pray for a child who despite your best effort did not display the best results expected and hence is a distorted picture of the one desired and expected. The author encourages the reader to believe that the mighty hand and heart of God is still at work and that he really has the last say in the matter. He encourages the reader to cheer up and to continue to live in the sunshine of God’s perfect will and purpose.

In Shock: My Journey from Death to Recovery and the Redemptive Power of Hope Book by Rana Awdish It is always an experience when we get the experience of living on the other side of the tracks. The author did an excellent job of expressing what her experience was like when she wore the robe of a patient instead of that of a doctor. She had the experience of lying in a hospital bed and watching and hearing the treatments that patients get from their medical team. She was able to experience the coldness, insensitivity, the mistakes, the delays, nasty attitudes and the attitude of being treated as a subject, as a bed #. She saw and heard, ego, self-satisfaction, received nonchalant attitudse from the medical team caring for her. This was an eye opener for her and made her determine in her heart that she would not display these attitudes in her practice.
