How to Overcome Suffering


The answer may surprise you and you might decide not to keep reading but I would like to invite you and also to recommend to read this to the end because the first impression might not be right.
In order to overcome suffering what is needed first and is essential is to accept it and to elevate it as the incense in a temple that arises to the highest dome. And to offer it with our deepest feeling.
But what is the meaning of this? Can we tell a father or a mother to accept the death of a child?
Can we tell other persons to accept the loss of the couple, of a friend, of a pet, or our lack of health or the loss of our job or something so deep as the broken, destroyed family?
Can we take burning coals, take them to our chest or place them in our lips while saying that they are sweet as honey? How to praise suffering with acceptance?
Now, the person who kept reading this writing is courageous, interested and profound.
Here is the explanation: Suffering, pain and sacrifice are accepted only when we place God as the unique provider of our destiny.
Dear God, I surrender my spirit in your hands, I can’t carry this load, this pain, but if this is your will, let it be. My clamor is that you carry the wound of my heart because You only can heal my open wound, You only can quite the hurt of my soul, You only can fill the emptiness left by the loved one and then to accept the suffering.
Thus, it is possible to recognize the facts and to understand that God has to intervene and then to get our strength in prayer.
If we choose other ways, as anger, resentment and hate, the wounds will not heal. Only God has the voice of power, that supreme authority of transforming darkness into light, of overcoming death and to have a new life. Only God can explain what is unexplainable, of giving consolation to what is inconsolable.
Dear God, I kneel in front of You, i am as dust of any insignificant path, see my anguish, loneliness and sadness, give me your presence, your consolation, your infinite and sublime love, who repairs, heals and exalts. And where there is not understanding nor compassion, please give me the sublime resignation to know that you bless what can’t be changed, and you make path of eternity out of death and you know how to bring elixir and medication to the worse conflicts.Oh All Powerful God, be the center of my life.
Suffering is a terrible experience that hits the strongest persons, makes plains out of mountains, dries the rivers and the seas but in God is found the strength, trust and as final recommendation, eternal life and peace are found in God.
