Thoughts…
The consideration of what others suffer is proper to encourage us to bear our share in any affliction; and in whatever form Satan assaults us, or by whatever means, we may know that our brethren experience the same (Matthew Henery’s Concise Commentary).
We are all going to go through trials, tribulations, and sufferings. Take heart that you are never alone. Someone somewhere has been there and done that. This is why it is so important to open our mouths. We need to both reach out for help AND tell our stories to help others.
Life is not filled with rainbows and unicorns. Be a believer throughout the world so no one ever has to feel alone.
