Sufferings and Solution

Sufferings come from three areas

1. From human beings.
Solution: Show another cheek and pray for them. (Matt. 5:39)

2. From devil
Solution: Resist him and pray (James 4:7)

3. From God
Solution: Repent and pray (2 Chr. 7:14)

A medicine for leg pain will not help cold.  Do not use first suffering's solution to the second type suffering. Same thing with the third one. For example resisting is the solution for the sufferings from devil and it cannot be used for the sufferings that comes from human beings. Matthew 5:39 NIV "But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also."

You cannot resist the evil person but you can actually ask why he is doing this to you. When Jesus was beaten he asked them why they are doing this when he didn't speak wrong. John 18:22-23 NIV "When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face. “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded.  “If I said something wrong,” Jesus replied, “testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?” Injustice can be confronted. Its not wrong. 

In three types of sufferings, prayer is common and a must.

James 5:13 NIV
"Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray..."
