Everything from God's hand can bring consolation.
God knows best what we need, and everything He does is for our benefit. If we understood how much He loves us, we would always be ready to accept both the sweet and the bitter from His hand with equal indifference. Everything that comes from Him would please us. The harshest afflictions only seem unbearable when we perceive them wrongly. When we see them as delivered by God's hand, when we understand that it's our loving Father who brings us low and causes us distress, our sufferings lose their sting and even become a source of consolation.
Let our sole task be to know God; the more we know Him, the more we long to know Him. And since love is often proportional to knowledge, the deeper and broader our knowledge, the greater our love will be. If our love for God were immense, we would love Him equally in times of pain and joy.
Psalm 56:3-4
When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?
How do my sufferings make it hard to trust God?
How would trusting in God's care change how I feel about what I've suffered?
