“Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. Am I the sea, or the sea monster, That You set a guard over me? If I say, ‘My bed will comfort me, My couch will ease my complaint,’ Then You frighten me with dreams And terrify me by visions; So that my soul would choose suffocation, Death rather than my pains. I waste away; I will not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath. What is man that You magnify him, And that You are concerned about him, That You examine him every morning And try him every moment? Will You never turn Your gaze away from me, Nor let me alone until I swallow my spittle? Have I sinned? What have I done to You, O watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, So that I am a burden to myself? Why then do You not pardon my transgression And take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust; And You will seek me, but I will 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.
