Be
prepared to suffer for Me, in My Name. All suffering has meaning in
My kingdom. Pain and problems are opportunities to demonstrate your trust
in Me. Bearing your circumstances bravely—even thanking Me for them—is
one of the highest forms of praise. This sacrifice of thanksgiving rings
golden-toned bells of Joy throughout heavenly realms. On earth also, your
patient suffering sends out ripples of good tidings in ever-widening circles.
When suffering strikes; remember that I am sovereign and that I can bring good out of everything. Do not try to run from pain or hide from problems. Instead, accept adversity in My Name, offering it up to Me for My purposes. Thus, your suffering gains meaning and draws you closer to Me. Joy emerges from the ashes of adversity through your trust and thankfulness.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2–4
Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, and for His wonderful acts to the children of men! And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and speak of His deeds with shouts of joy! Psalm 107:21-22
