APRIL 26 WHEN LIFE HURTS
But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] —1 PETER 5:9 AMP
We experience many blessings in life, but we also go through times that are painful and challenging. We often feel lonely in our pain, but we aren’t, because many other people around us are hurting also. We don’t always know the silent suffering that people endure, but we can let our own pain teach us to be compassionate toward them. Listen carefully to what people tell you about what they are going through, and try to imagine how you might feel in their situation. Jesus suffered greatly in His life, but He also had great compassion for those who were hurting in any way. We may not be able to alleviate someone’s pain, but we can lighten their load by truly caring about them.
“Father, help me have great compassion for those who are hurting, and help me learn and become a better person each time I go through something difficult. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
