Job 6:2-3

Why do bad things happen to good people? Why there is so much suffering in life? When life feels unfair, and the world feels broken, you need to know there’s a God who understands and wants to restore all things. In this plan, you will learn how grieving, hoping, and gratitude can help you make sense of your suffering.

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.

This plan is for those who have loved an animal—and experienced God’s love through that animal—and who now find themselves walking through grief without their beloved companion beside them. This seven-day plan invites readers to bring their pain to God, to listen to their grief, and to start walking toward healing. Your pain over losing your pet matters deeply to God because you matter deeply to God.

In the following ten days, you will walk through the main headlines of this fascinating book.
