Dr. Millicent Hunter Podcast 008 Sometimes we are “blindsided” by challenges and difficulties in our life. Since God is able to …. cause all things to work together for our good, if you get out of God’s way, God can cause even the most difficult times of your life to work out for your good. Pain is nature’s “alarm clock”. It forces us to pay attention to an area in our physical body that needs to be addressed. Physical pain has a protecting purpose. So pain is a sign of God’s love because it forces you to do something. In a similar way, the pain of a problem, a challenge or a crisis in your life lets you know that there is some area in your spiritual life that needs to be addressed. Maybe you need to grow in faith, maybe you need to increase your prayer life, maybe you just need to deepen and strengthen your relationship with God. When you have that perspective about pain you will see that it is a blessing.
