It happened to you in ways that only you and God can understand. But that doesn’t mean it’s special. If you come to believe that your suffering is yours alone, you will believe that you are the problem. The world would be better off without you because you are the one who is messed up, who can’t seem to get it together. But no, Peter says. Whatever you are going through, the world is filled with people suffering similarly. There are unique qualities to your experience, but you aren’t alone.
