Day 98 - when suffering

Extreme Faith Workout

Suffering in a way that honors God:
Luke 18:1 - always pray and never lose heart
Luke 22:39-44 - follow Jesus' example of praying for your will but submitting to God's will
II Corinthians 12:7-10 - lean on God's grace, when He does not take the suffering away
I Peter 5:10 - after the right amount of suffering, God brings restoration (in His way and time)

What should we remember when we are afflicted?
Romans 8:18 - the glory that is to come
II Corinthians 4:17,18 - that even though we struggle now, we can focus on Heaven and eternal things

What results if we allow affliction to cause bitterness instead of prayer?
Hebrews 12:15 - we do not receive God's grace
