If we pray against afflictions and sufferings, we pray against our spiritual growth. The life of God has its origin in death. Afflictions and trials come to unlock and release the life of God in us. We must die daily to self in order to live unto God. There is never a bad day for a true believer! Your actuality is not your reality. You may be actually in a hard place right now, but your reality is in Christ and no matter what happens in the course of your day, all things will work together for your good.
God is sovereign which means that nothing happens on this earth but by His hand or by His Will. The Sovereignty of God becomes our pillow to rest on in the midst of our afflictions. The Father's will is not for us to avoid the furnace, but to deliver us while we're in the furnace!! He will allow the flames to get 7 times hotter to show His Glory, that no other God can deliver after this sort and to bring us into a deeper intimate relationship with Him. So be encouraged! God is ALWAYS with us.
Blessings!
