If it is to increase my faith,
if it is to break my sinful desires,
if it is to improve my character,
if it is to make me more useful,
if it is to make Your love known,
if it is to bring glory to Your Name,

My Lord and Savior, Jesus, I would be delighted to receive suffering that you allow and see for myself how You wonderfully work.
I may express pain in the process but I'm deeply assured that You will never leave me nor forsake me. For You are loving and faithful, rich in mercy, grace, and just.
