SUFFERING

---

Suffering has power. Sometimes power can be destructive - it can tear our hearts, wound our spirits, and leave us broken and scarred. At the same time suffering also has the positive power to transform us into people who are stronger, wiser and more compassionate - if we allow ourselves to experience God's comfort. In these studies we will discover how to meet God in the midst of our struggles and receive his strength and grace.
