Does God promise pain? Pain and suffering are an unavoidable part of our lives. God is not the source of evil, but he does allow us to experience suffering. God doesn't remove us from pain and suffering, but ultimately, the Bible promises that God has and will finally defeat evil.
What does it mean to give your pain to God? You surrender to Him, and He has authority and control in your life. In other words, you do God's Word even when you don't feel like doing it because you believe He knows best. Likewise, pain and suffering are ways God sets the stage for making His supernatural work come to pass in your life.
What does it mean for God to promise? Promises are unconditional on God's part. He keeps His word. But promises are conditional on our part. We have to trust and obey. For example, Ephesians 6:2 tells us that the command to “Honor your father and mother” was the first command with promise.
Can pain be a blessing? Pain is not only a necessity but also a blessing, because it warns us, corrects us, guides us, and brings us to Jesus. Pain can be a blessing in many different ways, and the first is as a warning system.
