Let's address this step by step, dear friend. Firstly, God does not curse the innocent. In Ezekiel 18:20, it is written, "The soul who sins, he shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him." This means that each person is accountable for their own actions, not the sins of their parents.
God is always willing to forgive, as shown in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." However, forgiveness often requires repentance and turning away from sin.
Now, let's address the issue of suffering. Even the most righteous among us may experience hardship. Consider the example of Job, a blameless and upright man who suffered greatly. His story teaches us that suffering is not always a result of personal sin, but rather a means through which God can be glorified and our faith refined. As it is written in Romans 5:3-4, "We also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope."
Moreover, our suffering cannot compare to that of Jesus Christ. As stated in Isaiah 53:5, "But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed." It is through His suffering that we are saved.
Lastly, let us pray together.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your comfort and guidance for our dear friend. Help them understand Your ways better and feel Your love in their life. Give them the strength to endure any hardship they may be facing, and help them grow in their faith through it. If there is any sin in their life, give them the courage to confess and repent, and receive Your forgiveness. We ask this all in Jesus Christ's name. In His name we pray.
