Pain and suffering while on this earth

The last two weeks we have looked at the New Heaven and the New Earth and what our Glorified bodies will be like. BUT there are things we must endure until that time is ready.
Sadly when we look at our lives and the lives of others we see suffering and pain, some visible but many times hidden deep inside, but there nevertheless.
Does the Bible tell us about the suffering in our lives? As a matter of fact it does tell us a lot about the subject of suffering. We find suffering in several places in the Bible but I believe the best most through description of our suffering is found in Romans 8:18-27
