TURN TO GOD IN SUFFERING

Who do we turn to in suffering?
Isn’t it to a close friend, a family member, an advisor or just someone who loves us?

As Eliphaz was worried about Job’s situation, he advised him to turn to God in the hardest times of his life. He said:
« But if it were I, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. »(Job 5:8)

There are many who seek God and turn to Him only in suffering. These are not like Job, because he was normally faithful to God.
They live a long time in distrust of God and in sin and when they fall into suffering because of a severe illness, a wrongful dismissal, an imprisonment or another harsh situation, they seek then God, a God they have never obeyed or served!
For those who have accepted Jesus as their king and savior, God is their daddy, their friend, their counselor and their guide. He is very close to them because He lives in their hearts. It is therefore He who protects them and who takes care of what threatens them, without them crying for help.
Fortunately, because He is good and merciful, God always responds to the cries for help of all those who turn to Him even if they are not his children or his friends.
Should we then wait for suffering or misfortune to seek God and approach him?
No, let’s seek Him today and right now.

PRAYER :
Lord our God, grant us to always seek to live with You and to remain with You in all situations.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
