Distress is virtue's opportunity: we only live to teach us how to die.
Thomas Southerne
Image
By affliction prayer is quickened, for our prayers are very apt to grow languid and formal in a time of ease.
John Newton
Image
Your afflictions may only prove that you are more immediately under the Father's hand. There is no time that the patient is such an object of tender interest to the surgeon, as when he is bleeding beneath his knife. So you may be sure if you are suffering from the hand of a reconciled God, that His eye is all the more bent on you.
Robert Murray M'Cheyne
Image
The healing power of the Lord Jesus Christ-whether it removes our burdens or strengthens us to endure and live with them like the Apostle Paul-is available for every affliction in mortality.
Dallin H. Oaks
Image
In all life one should comfort the afflicted, but verily, also, one should afflict the comfortable, and especially when they are comfortably, contentedly, even happily wrong.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Image
The soul will never become pious and purified except through undergoing afflictions. It is the same as gold that can never be pure except after removing all the base metals in it.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
Image
The cup which my Saviour giveth me, can it be anything but a cup of salvation?
Alexander MacLaren
Image
In a world of discouragement, sorrow, and overmuch sin, in times when fear and despair seem to prevail, when humanity is feverish with no worldly physicians in sigh, I too say, Trust Jesus. Let Him still the tempest and ride upon the storm. Believe that He can lift mankind from its bed of affliction, in time and in eternity.
Jeffrey R. Holland
Image
Even in the greatest afflictions, we ought to testify to God, that, in receiving them from his hand, we feel pleasure in the midst of the pain, from being afflicted by Him who loves us, and whom we love.
John Wesley
Image
How can one not speak about war, poverty, and inequality when people who suffer from these afflictions don't have a voice to speak?
Isabel Allende
Image
Those who dive in the sea of affliction bring up rare pearls.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The influenza pandemic of 1918 may well be the greatest scourge ever to afflict humanity, exacting a death toll greater than all the wars of the 20th Century combined. The virus that wreaked this havoc apparently developed in birds, and then jumped to people. In other words, it was avian flu.
David L. Katz
Image
The Lord does not measure out our afflictions according to our faults, but according to our strength, and looks not what we have deserved, but what we are able to bear.
George Downame
Image
You know that you yourself are not always in the same state. If you are exact today, closely united to God, and a consolation to the whole house, tomorrow you will be out of sorts, indolent, and a source of affliction to others. Then you will need their support, as you have supported them.
Vincent de Paul
Image
It seems to me that doubt is worse than trial. I had sooner suffer any affliction than be left to question the gospel or my own interest in it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Redemption from sin is greater then redemption from affliction.
Daniel Defoe
Image
Our days on earth are like a shadow, and the time of our affliction is the length of our days.
Shmuel Yosef Agnon
Image
There is no attribute of God more comforting to His children than the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe troubles, they believe that Sovereignty hath ordained their afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Affliction's sons are brothers in distress A brother to relieve, how exquisite the bliss!
Robert Burns
Image
Tears that are shed in time of affliction are rarely tears of penitence, but more likely they are shed out of self pity and pain or sorrow.
John Calvin
Image
God afflicts us because he loves us and it is very pleasing to him, when in our afflictions he sees us abandon ourselves to his paternal care.
Benedict Joseph Labre
Image
Some virtues are only seen in affliction and others only in prosperity.
Joseph Addison
Image
The only thing that really teaches one what life's about the joy of understanding, the joy of coming in contact with what life really signifies - is suffering, affliction.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Image
I would bear any affliction rather than be burdened with a guilty conscience.
Charles Spurgeon
