"When suffering comes, we yearn for some sign from God, forgetting we have just had one"

This quote by Mignon McLaughlin speaks with the idea that when we are in discomfort or suffering, we frequently search for a sign from God to help us through it. We forget that the suffering itself is a sign from God, a tip that we are not in control which we should depend on Him for strength and assistance. It is simple to forget this when we are in the middle of our suffering, however it is essential to keep in mind that God is with us which He is utilizing our suffering to teach us and to help us grow. We must remember to try to find the signs of God's existence in our suffering, and to rely on that He will bring us through it.
