Affliction

Afflictions - No matter what problems you have in your life, God is always with you. Know that everyone has burdens, and that through them, we can actually become more dependent on God and have a closer fellowship with Him. God can also use these burdens as a way to witness to others. Remember, He has made us the way we are to fit HIS purpose, not our own. Granted, things like drug addiction/abuse are sin... but God does love you and wants you to turn from those things and go to Him.

Trust and follow God, to whatever end. This is something I learned through experience recently.
