How should we respond when pain comes our way? All other philosophies and religions do not have a good answer for pain. God has promised His followers comfort – this does not mean that there will be lack of pain in this world, but it means that God will be with us and provide comfort in the midst of pain. Only the comfort provided by Jesus will be adequate for our needs.How should we respond when pain comes our way? All other philosophies and religions do not have a good answer for pain.
