John 10:10 says, "I (Jesus) came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance."
How can someone who is in pain enjoy life? And no medications are working? Why do some people who do have faith and believe in God have to have such painful and slow deaths?
I believe in the Lord. I am just trying to grow in my faith. I am having a very rough time right now.

We will all suffer. It is hard to think of suffering though, when it may be yourself or someone close that you love. Jesus suffered and died. He knows our suffering. Keep the faith, keep praying, keep seeking God's wisdom to understand suffering. I know exactly what you are saying. Don't give up hope and faith, that is the key. I could be easy to give up and that is what the devil would want. We cannot let the devil have victory in this. This is a fallen world and there will be much suffering, but happiness is about happenings - the joy of the Lord is from within us - not what is happening on the outside. I will be praying for you dear one. Blessings and keep on keeping on - it is a marathon (the Christian walk) not a sprint.

No. Jesus reported issues and instructed memories (he's the door, the way the actuality and the existence ) suggesting salvation replaced into in basic terms via him. He additionally observed the fee of His dying on the go (ex. Matthew 26:fifty 4), no longer some thing He did gently, as considered in His Prayers at Gethsemane. there is likewise his enterprise of communion as stated with the help of Matthew, Mark and Luke, and the symbolism that anticipated this long formerly with the help of animal sacrifice. John, certainly one of his closest disciples, additionally writes besides Paul (John 3:sixteen, a million John a million:5-10)

Knowing that soon, Jesus words will happen on the earth, and there will be no pain , suffering and death.
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

It may help you to meditate upon the "thorn" given to Paul at his conversion. Here is a scriptural reference you could start with:
2 Cor. 12:7 "And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
Despite this "thorn," wouldn't you agree that Paul had an incredibly abundant life? These principles do not conflict. Instead, Paul explains that they actually complement each other.
(I think it's probable the identity of Paul's "thorn" is revealed at Galatians 4:15b.)
Peace.

What makes you think that verser refers to life on earth?? We will have eternal joy - beginning with our death and resurrection. We are told numerous times in scripture that we will endure much suffering here. It's a sin filled world. God bless you as you endure your trial. May I suggest you read the book of James? ~Nise~

During our lives, all of us has to endure pain.
Just remember the pain Jesus went through
when he was nailed to the cross.
Are you experiencing that kind of pain?
The rewards that you'll receive far outweigh any
suffering you endure on earth.
God has a plan for your suffering.

life isnt a bed of roses. even for christians, we should be prepared for some bad times and tribulations too, if its small praise the Lord, if its too big pray for Him to alleviate your suffering. I really believe it helps.
Ultimately, God has reasons for what He does, and it might be that when we're up there, God will reveal to us and show us what He has in store for us in heaven.

Happiness is being contented with what you have. Believing that the tough time you are going through makes you earn greater rewards and elevates our soul helps a lot but only if you are patient and contented. Hold on to the belief that the choices Allah makes for us are the best ones and are in our best interest.
I pray for you to get better soon enshaa Allah if this is best for you.
