God uses our pain and suffering to train and equip us. To shape us into the likeness of Christ. Our difficulties and sorrows are all tools in His hands and NOT the random work of an enemy working without God's permission and restraint. Sanctification is a work of Grace, beginning with our own self-awareness and examination under the power of the Holy Spirit, through the chastening of the Lord and our own afflictions, we are never out of His sovereign and loving Hand. It is always better to lean in to our suffering than to fight against God in the midst of it...
