Taken from The Jesus Prayer by Frederica Matthews-Green
Jesus said, “In the world you have
tribulation.” You will, he promises; just take a deep breath and accept it. In
this world, pain will visit everyone sooner or later.
But
Jesus didn’t stop with that thought. He went on, “But be of good cheer, I have
overcome the world.” (Jn. 16:33). Pain may be inevitable, but it is also
temporary, and that alone is a comforting thought. Pain is mandatory, but
misery is optional.
