What wonderful replies! I agree with everyone's thoughts.

Without sounding pious, how does one best respond to other believers who have a "what now?" response or approach one's continual hardships/sufferings often trying to fix you or the situation when often there is no immediate fix - it is from the providential hand of the Lord. When other believers in the church grow weary of someone's continual hardships/sufferings (even though the person suffering is not complaining) how should one respond?
