What do We do When We Confront Suffering?
Certainly, there comes a time in all our lives when we confront suffering. We personally experience hardships. But, we also witness suffering in the lives of those we love.
This week I will begin a three part series addressing… What do We do When We Confront Suffering.
Part one: Three Good Things We can Offer our Friends Who are Suffering.
Part two: When Godly People Give Ungodly Advice.
Part three: When the People We Love Add to our Hurt.
We will only scratch the surface of what the bible has to say about suffering. But, hopefully we will walk away with a few concrete truths to apply when we confront suffering. I know God wants to take what the enemy has intended for harm and use it for good. (Genesis 50:20)
Join me Friday as we dig into His word to gain wisdom and understanding. Let’s add a few nuggets of truths to our arsenal to help us fight the good fight!
Dana,
I’m currently reading a book called Suffering: Gospel Hope When Life Doesn’t Make Sense, by Paul David Tripp. It may be a book that would be helpful for you to follow along with during this series.
