The Bible teaches that affliction is a common experience for believers, but God promises to deliver them from all their troubles (Psalm 34:19).
Affliction is depicted in the Bible as great pain or agony, and believers are encouraged to bring their afflictions before the Lord in prayer. Scripture shows that all God's children, including Christ, experience affliction, yet they can find hope in God's deliverance. For instance, Psalm 34:19 states, 'Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.' This promise reassures believers that, although they may face trials, there is an assurance of divine intervention and support in their struggles.
