Suffering

For many, life seems unmanageable and almost impossible. We witness everything from devastating hurricanes and profound loss to troubled relationships and financial difficulties. Suffering surrounds us, raising countless questions about the pain we experience. We seek understanding of why these hardships occur and long for relief from our emotional burden.

Peter wrote this letter to encourage believers who were facing persecution and suffering for their faith. In this section, he is specifically addressing servants who may be suffering under harsh masters, but the principle applies to all believers facing unjust suffering.
