God In The Hot Seat: What Good Can Come From Suffering?

A testimony often is a powerful tool for comforting and witnessing to others...
-2 Corinthians 1:4
He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.

Our trials teach us that we need to always turn to God and avoid our own reasoning(Pro 3:5-6) and schemes. Trials have a way of strengthening our faith in God and building our confidence in Him...
-2 Corinthians 1:9-10
(9)In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead.
(10)And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us.

Trials ignite prayer. Answered prayers fuel a spirit of thanksgiving...
-2 Corinthians 1:11
And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety.
