PROBLEMS OF HUMAN SUFFERING

 In our work, we have met many confused and insecure people because of their suffering.  It is unnecessary to pray for those who have not yet known suffering in its most severe attacks, to think of the problems it poses and can bring.

 When suddenly, like lightning, suffering falls on a person, many times neither time nor state of mind are ready and they do not have an answer to the "why" that pain can create.  It is very important to forge the paths of knowledge, enlightenment and faith in time, before we need to use them in the darkness of great trials.  Anyone who does so will be wise.  Because in the time of suffering we will instinctively find already well-trodden paths in our thinking, as if we still do not know anything about the "why" and "how" that suffering poses.

 It is a trap for man to think only afterwards, says the Bible (Prov. 20:25).  In the series of conversations that follow, we will think together about our condition and our predestination in and out of suffering.  We will examine the painful problems of life as much as possible, and we will not always be able to solve them to our satisfaction.

 I am sure that what we will consider will help us not only to endure our trials better, but also to use them and glorify God through them.  In addition, these trials bring us even closer to those who suffer and endure and have neither comfort nor hope!  My wish and prayer is to help such people.
