God has not promised to keep His people from afflictions, but to keep them from the hurt of them.
— Edmund Calamy

The furnace of affliction is a good place for you, Christian; it benefits you; it helps you to become more like Christ, and it is fitting you for heaven.
— C. H. Spurgeon

— Richard Sibbes
Afflictions
Afflictions are sent to stir up prayer. If they have that effect, and, when we are afflicted, we pray more, and pray better, than before, we may hope that God will hear our prayer, and give ear to our cry; for the prayer, which, by his providence, he gives occasion for, and which, by his Spirit of grace, he indites, shall not return void.
— Matthew Henry
Affliction
The secret formula of the saints: When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord’s choicest wines.
— Samuel Rutherford
