This passage sort of bothers me. No, that doesn't mean that I don't accept the Book of Mormon or that I think the church is wrong. Expecting to agree with every single verse in the bible/Book of Mormon/etc is naive and a little delusional.
I get that being patient in suffering is a good thing, and you should have faith that you'll overcome them. So that part is fine. What bothers me is how vague this passage is. How much suffering is enough? Should you not try to overcome it? Should you accept a life like Job? If reading scripture makes you want to accept that all life is nothing but suffering, it might be time to reevaluate your interpretations.
