They say everyone has their own way to God. And they also say that the ways of God are inscrutable, which means that God leads everyone to himself on a special path. Someone has a thorny road, full of pain and suffering. Someone walks relatively light, but in the end, what do we know about the lives of other people to judge the ease of their being. The main thing is that God is waiting for everyone and that it is only the person himself who can approach him.
Instructions
Step 1
Wonderful are the works of our Lord. Someone gets wealth and fame, someone leads to a miserable existence in sorrow, sorrow and hardship, wondering why and why all these sufferings fell to their lot. And the point is precisely the suffering, they are not accidental. God distributes them as lessons for work, so that every person, every son of God, fulfills the will of his father and thereby “earns” his salvation in the other kingdom.
Step 2
You need to bear your burden humbly, with obedience to God, realizing that this burden is imposed by the Heavenly Father himself. If there are sins behind the soul, then suffering serves as a punishment for them. If a person is innocent, then the sent sorrows simply prepare for bliss in eternal life.
Step 3
In no case should you grumble against God, who sent sorrows and sorrows. Murmuring destroys the very purpose of sorrow, deprives of salvation and plunges into eternal torment. How often do people complain, “Lord, why do I need all this?”, Not realizing that by doing so they are depriving themselves of forgiveness and eternal life. God gives no one more than a person can bear. Remember - the Lord punishes and hits the one he loves the most. God sacrificed his own son for the salvation of sinful people, do not anger him with reproaches and disobedience.
Step 4
It is impossible to draw close to God without temptation. The Holy Fathers said that a virtue that did not succumb to temptation is not a virtue in fact. Only after going through sorrow, temptation and hardship can you become closer to God. Thus, he tests whether you are worthy of his grace and eternal life.
Step 5
Be sure to thank God for all the suffering sent to you. It is happiness that the Heavenly Father paid such paternal attention to you, did not ignore it, but gave suffering and temptation, so that after being cleansed on the way, you could come into His Kingdom as a faithful and loving child.
Step 6
Never wish for death, never ask for relief from pain. Patience comes the moment you begin to thank God for the suffering sent. It is this that will give a "second wind", support your strength. God will never send death to those who ask for it, because he sees that the asking person is not ready to accept deliverance from suffering.
Step 7
Don't forget - God loves everyone and feels what you feel. Open your heart to him, get rid of anger, envy and hatred, and God's love will fill your whole being.
