How to Live in Times of Suffering & Struggle

St Peters Orthodox Church

It can be said that the Christian life is broken down into three phases. First, the joy and excitement of conversion. Second, there is a season of struggle where God can feel very distant or absent in our lives. The third phase is the blessedness of a grown and matured faith that grants us such a deeper experience of God in our lives. Today we focus on how to best live and weather the storm of the season of our journey with Christ through the sufferings of this life. Allowing Christ to be a part of our great sufferings helps us to know Him in ways we never could before.
