Oftentimes, our pain, misfortunes and hardships that come with life can weigh us down and hinder God's purpose. When you read through the Bible you'll see that God often desires to use our pain to help fulfill our purpose. For that to happen, we must interpret our pain through the lens of God's purpose.

Suffering ceases to be suffering in some way in the moment that it finds a meaning. - Viktor Frankl

1. Pain reveals God's purpose

It's not our experiences that make us or break us. It's our interpretation of and explanation for those experiences that ultimately determines who we become. You explanations are more important than your experiences. - Mark Batterson
