1 Peter 4 & 5

[Feeling a little frustrated with life today...]
4 verse 7- The end of all things is near you. Therefore be alert and of sober might so that you may pray.

just pray.

Peter talks a lot about suffering. yes, there are very small ways that I am suffering. but not because I am a Christian. I really can't even imagine that. I am so blessed with my community, this country, and my freedom.
my problems seems pretty small in comparison to someone living in the 1st century being persecuted.... yea, my problems seem pretty small...

God, I pray for clarity.
