In this final week of our brief series on James, we consider the impact of suffering on our faith. Struggles and trials in life are not something we can avoid, nor does Jesus promise that such a thing is possible. We cannot control what challenges we face, but what can we control? What role does prayer play, both in our personal lives with God and in community? How does our suffering connect to the larger suffering of the wider world? To be human is to wrestle with some version of these questions. Let’s wrap up our reflection of James together.
