Immerse our suffering in God
Psalm 130:1-8 NLT
[1] From the depths of despair, O LORD, I call for your help. [2] Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer. [3] LORD, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive? [4] But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you. [5] I am counting on the LORD; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word. [6] I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn. [7] O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows. [8] He himself will redeem Israel from every kind of sin.

Why do all people suffer?
Romans 8:22-25 NLT
[22] For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. [23] And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. [24] We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don't need to hope for it. [25] But if we look forward to something we don't yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)
