price and reward

Prayer: Father, as I strengten my spirit, I can see how suffering fits into your plan. Experiencing the hardships during our earthly lives brings eternal blessings. I believe all things worthwhile come with a price and a reward. Knowing this, I can be thankful for the support from family and friends during trying times-- for the sacrifices they have made for me."But the God of all grace...after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you."--1 Peter 5:10
