Read more Have you experienced unmanageable suffering? Has doubt crushed your spirit so much that you've considered walking away from your faith? Maybe fear has stopped you from giving faith an honest chance? The problem of evil and suffering is not just a lofty debate for theologians; it is a real and lived experience that everyone faces. If you believe in God (or even just want to believe), hardship and suffering can lead to confusion and heartbreak in your faith walk. When questions, frustration, and anger arise about where God is and what hes doing, you can learn to run toward him with those thoughts and emotions. God is not only big enough to handle all that, he wants to love you in that hurt. Seriously, God? by Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran meets you where you are during difficult times to help you make sense of suffering. This book is an invitation to embrace each circumstance as a chance to deepen your relationship with God. Read more Three Principles to Remember If those of us who believe in the God of the Bible have it right, then God is smarter and older than you are and thinks in ways far beyond your capacity. You might not be seeing the whole picture and we may never fully understand what God is doing with these trying times, but you can believe and trust that he knows what he's doing. While this confusion can be difficult, it can be a beautiful invitation to learn how to lean on him. God does not reveal himself all at once. Salvation history has been the story of how God has reached out to people where they were to walk them step by step closer to him. In the same way, he invites each of us to get to know him and be loved by him. God especially reaches out to us in times of hardships to show us his healing, power, and love. In the midst of suffering, you might have heard (well-meaning) people say this is all a part of God's plan. However, that is often not the case. Suffering can occur due to brokenness from the Fall and other people's will, not God's. It is important to pray to God in these moments and be open to how he wants to sanctify these wrongs to help you find a way to work his will through the messiness of life. Read more Read more Fr.
