How Christians Should Respond to Suffering

from Contending for the Word Q&A · host Dave Jenkins

How should Christians respond when suffering continues and circumstances do not make sense? In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains how Scripture calls believers to respond to suffering with humility, trust, perseverance, and prayer. Christians may not understand everything God is doing, but they can trust His goodness, wisdom, care, and sovereign purposes. Suffering should not drive Christians away from God. It should lead them to humble themselves before Him, depend upon His strength, persevere through trials, and bring their fears and burdens to Him in prayer.
