Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. Am I a sea, or a whale, That thou settest a watch over me? When I say, My bed shall comfort me, My couch shall ease my complaint; Then thou scarest me with dreams, And terrifiest me through visions: So that my soul chooseth strangling, And death rather than my life. I loathe it; I would not live alway: Let me alone; for my days are vanity. What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? And that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, And try him every moment? How long wilt thou not depart from me, Nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? Why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, So that I am a burden to myself? And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, And take away mine iniquity? For now shall I sleep in the dust; And thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.

Nobody wishes for difficulty, and yet it’s often difficulty that produces the most beautiful fruit in our lives, making us into the kind of person we most want to be. I pray these reflections are a hopeful companion to those caught in the storms of life. You’re not alone. God is at work. Disorder is merely what we pass through on our way to Reorder. You are being made new.
Suffering is a part of life, but not a part that we willingly invite, an uninvited guest at the table. What do we do with this uninvited guest? Journey with us in this series as we unpack how to tackle suffering with God by our side.

Do you ever wake up wondering where your healing is? Do you ever question if God has forgotten you in your pain? I am here to tell you He hasn’t. Not once has He forgotten you. This study explores the definition of healing and what it means for believers. We don’t get a free pass from pain and suffering because we are believers, rather it gives us the opportunity to use it for His Kingdom. While healing can be brutal and devastating it can also be beautiful and encouraging, if you allow it, our God will use you.

If you're mad at God, you're in good company. Moses, Job, and David are among the biblical characters who had a bone to pick with God about what he was or was not doing. And though they often had to wait, God always responded. So keep talking. God's listening.
