The Ministry of Pain, Praise and Worship

When you think of pain, praise, and worship, how do you associate that with ministry and God? As children of God, how do we view pain in our lives? Do we see pain as a punishment from God, or do we look at it as something we have caused upon ourselves?

The Ministry of Pain, Praise, and Worship was a product of the author's personal experiences and a sermon given by her pastor, Bishop S. O. Bulloch Jr., entitled, "The Pain I'm Experiencing Will Not Kill Me, It Will Develop Me" with a subtitle "Broken in All the Right Places, Your Pain Is a Part of Your Ministry." If we remember that God is always in control, our battle scars will show how we made it through our pain, trials, and problems.
