You have forgotten the encouraging words that God speaks to you as his children:

“My child, pay attention when the Lord disciplines you.
    Don’t give up when he corrects you.
The Lord disciplines everyone he loves.
    He severely disciplines everyone he accepts as his child.”

Endure your discipline. God corrects you as a father corrects his children. All children are disciplined by their fathers.

    and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”[a](C)
