Pain can be felt physically, emotionally, or psychological. We all experience some form of pain in our lives and some people experience more pain than others. When we experience pain we can decide to get depressed and let the pain overtake us OR trust in a higher power's comfort and the comfort of others to help us get through it.
I've heard it said that God never gives us more pain than we can handle. I've heard it said that God comforts us through our pain. I've heard it said that God always finds a way for us to be comforted.
Pain has been prevalent throughout my life. Sometimes I have wanted to hide from my pain, sometimes I have wanted to give up and die, sometimes I have wanted to keep fighting until I've conquered my pain.

Over the years I have learned change my way of thinking so that I can think more positively about the pain that I have experienced.
Through all of this, I know that God has been with me and has been comforting me. Through my experiences I have learned to comfort others when they have needed the most comforting. But most importantly, I have come to realize that I have friends who have been comforting me all along.
