Life and Hope Through Adversity and Affliction

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Psalm 23:4 Psalm 32:5

God is present with us in affliction. He softens the heart. He grows mercy. He gives empathy. He empowers us to do as we see Him do.
