“Suffering is one of the main factors strengthening the relationship between man and God. It allows man to experience a unique relationship with God and to attract him towards God. It is common that a suffering person who fails to get rid of his tribulation or to solve his problem on his own turns to God to deliver him. Even the Lord Himself encourages us to do so, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me. (Psalms 50:15)” David had experienced this and said, “In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, for You will answer me. (Psalms 86:7).” – Pope Shenouda . #Suffering #SufferWithTheLord #Glorify #GlorifyHisName #Coptic #Orthodox #CopticOrthodox #DailyReadings
