When we go through tribulations can we be able to learn?


 When we Suffer, Here are six questions to ask ourselves when we suffer, and what to do if the answer is yes.

Questions
• Am I being punished by God for Sin?
• Is Satan attacking me as I try to survive as a Christian?

• Am I being prepared for a special service, learning to be compassionate to those who suffer?
• Am I specifically selected for testing, like Job?
• Is my suffering a result of nature consequences for which I am not directly responsible?
• Is my suffering due to some unknown reason?

Our Response

• Confess known sin.
• Call on God for strength.
• Resist self - pity. Ask God for to open up doors of opportunity and help you discover others who suffer as you do.
• Accept help from the body of believers.
Trust God to work his purpose through you.
• Recognize that in a sinful world, both good and evil people will suffer. But the good person has a promise from God that his or her suffering will one day come to an end.
• Don't draw inward from the pain. Proclaim your faith in God, know that he cares, and wait patiently for his aid.
