Your present pain was ordain by God. It will turn to your greatest testimony and it's your ministry. It is the most necessary in your lifetime.
It is so a difficult thing to go through pain, but it is all for a purpose. Pain could be as a result of failure, barrenness, being broke, marital delay, unfruitfulness in ministry, sickness, diseases and a lot of things. Wait, it will soon turn to Joy.
Peter as a case study, who could be that Peter would deny Jesus? It was so painful that one of the "three" that Jesus loved the most denied him. But it was necessary for the establishment of his future ministry.
"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat.But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers." (Luke 22:31-32)
The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times. And he went outside and wept bitterly. (Luke 22:61-62)
Peter felt so ashamed and bitter for his failure but that was not the end of the story. He repented (turned back) and in the future he was able to strengthen his brethren who were looking up to him.
A lot of people, hundreds, thousands and millions of people are waiting on you to strengthen them with your testimony. When your pains turn to breakthrough, people will breakthrough through your experience.
Therefore, don't be discouraged and shattered at this time, it is your time of preparation.
