Healing from emotional wounds, grief, and anguish comes from the finished work of Jesus when He carried our sorrows to the cross. In this readable, biblically-based book, author Diahann JohnBaptiste provides answers to these and many other questions. Whenever you suffer affliction, the Lord wants you to come to Him so that He can give you rest and peace concerning what's troubling you. Afflictions remind Christians that this world is not their home. "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all." (Psalm 34:19). There are two general types of affliction--judgment (i.e. suffering that represents God's judgment on sin), and purification (i.e. suffering that brings about our purifying as we identify with Christ).

Sanctified afflictions are spiritual promotions.
--Minister and Author Matthew Henry

It is a comfort to us that Christ suffered, being tempted for our sake, which means suffering temptation is not due to sin because Christ knew NO sin, but instead, temptation is a means of affliction. The Bible shows us Jesus suffered temptation but did not commit any sin. The word of God says, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all" (Psalm 34:19 NKJV).
