The End of Suffering

Have you experienced suffering in your life? Are you confident that there will be a redemptive end to your suffering?
This life is filled with suffering and pain. We all will encounter suffering of some kind in our lives in this broken world.
God’s word assures us that there will be a redemptive end to our suffering.
The Apostle Peter wrote, “After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 5:10-11, ESV).
At the end of our suffering, the God of grace will restore us, confirm and strengthen us, and he will establish us.
May we anticipate God’s perfect end to all our suffering, and may we say along with Peter, “To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”
A Collect for Endurance: “Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the Cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
