Hardship and suffering come from tribulations. There are many tribulations in the world. Jesus Christ, our Lord told us that there will be tribulations in this world. We must not forget the words of our master. He told us that the world will not offer us anything good. He said the world will not love us because it did not love Him. So, tribulations are inevitable for a Christian. We suffer because of the tribulations.
We need to hold onto the word of God and believe in His promises for our lives. We should put our trust in God. It is the word of God that will bring us hope and help us in the presence of every tribulation. When we look up to the promises of God, we will overcome whatever hardship that we might encounter.
Many times, the hardship which we are experiencing is coming to us so that we can learn hope and patience. We are going through some of those tribulations because God allows them so that we can learn from experience. The hardship makes us better people. We receive endurance and we are able to withstand whatever situation comes our way when we learn patience and hope through suffering.
