Today's faith focus is from Romans 8:18. There are 4 different types of suffering: suffering that we bring on ourselves (think of the Israelites/Jews in the Bible); suffering that others bring on us (think of Joseph); suffering related to spiritual warfare (think of Job); and suffering for a greater purpose (think of Jesus). 
Regardless of the type of suffering you're enduring, you can survive and endure when you focus on what lies ahead . . . the "greater glory," as Paul puts it. Remember, your best days are yet ahead. You can make it through this suffering season and fulfill God's plan for your life.
