God Hears Us
Our suffering is often out of our control. Whether we caused it or not, we cannot change the past. Being in a difficult circumstance does not demand isolation. God continually calls us back to Him despite our brokenness and suffering. Listen to Donnelly Cameron expand on this topic.
| Listen to Donnelly |
God already knows our hearts. He feels our pain and knows our struggles. He wants us to desire to come to Him. He calls us, like He did Adam in the garden. We do not need to struggle in isolation and hide from God. We often find the healing we are searching for when we are honest with God. Suffering is not a single person act as much as it is an opportunity to grow in relationship with God.

- Have you ever felt like you could not bring your pain to God?
- What is it that draws you near to God? What pushes you further from him?

About this Plan
Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world!” This means that everyone will encounter suffering in one form or another. Jesus reminds us to “take heart” because He will be with us every step of the way. The guests in this five-day plan (with audio) share helpful insights on this topic.
