Where is God When I Hurt? Confronting Hardships and Finding Hope
Life is hard, and some days it gets harder. When we're lost in the maze of pain, or trying to help a friend through it, the question comes sooner or later: where is God?
Where Is God When I Hurt? Confronting Hardships and Finding Hope is a 12-lesson Courageous Living workbook by Wilson Adams on facing suffering with faith.
How This Study Helps
Hard seasons raise hard questions. Why did this happen? Does God care? How do I keep going? Easy answers don't help much, and well-meaning friends don't always know what to say.
This study takes those questions seriously and lets Scripture answer them. It looks at why suffering happens, how to find hope in the middle of hurt, how to trust God when life makes no sense, and what makes grief "good." It also speaks plainly about the hidden hurt of domestic violence and how to get "unstuck" and move forward. You'll come away better able to walk through hardship yourself and to comfort others.
