Our pain and our gain

No pain,no gain
is a phrase worths our thoughts.

No one would welcome pain!
No one would like to engage in trouble.
No one would like to carry a cross.

But the Lord Jesus told us already anyone following Him has to carry his cross to follow Him daily. He said that to gain life is to lose life. Such kind of paradoxical truth is hard to digest!
Knowing Truth will grant us freedom.

How can we go through pain with a serene heart ?
How can we welcome even trouble without complaints ?
How can we praise God amid trials and sufferings ?

Lord ! Grant me the Serenity
to accept things that cannot change,
Courage
to change the things that can be,
and Wisdom
to know the difference.
