Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds. - James 1:2 (NIV)
During my teenage years, my greatest suffering was loneliness. Year after year, I prayed for deep Christian friendships. But year after year, God answered, “Not yet,” and I wondered why. Hadn’t I put effort into finding friendships? Wouldn’t godly friendships help me grow in my relationship with God? Wasn’t strong...
Even in my suffering I can persevere in trusting God.
