A believer should turn to God in prayer, seeking strength and comfort from His word during times of suffering.
In times of suffering, believers are encouraged to bring their petitions to God rather than complain to others. Jeremiah's instruction to 'search and try our ways and turn again to the Lord' reflects the call to seek God's presence in our distress. Prayer becomes a means of laying burdens before the Lord, allowing Him to provide comfort and guidance amidst trials. This practice acknowledges the sovereignty of God and promotes a heart posture of worship, rather than one of bitterness or despair. Seeking God's will through prayer empowers us to understand our suffering in light of His eternal purpose.
