Loss

Life doesn’t always go the way we hope, and sometimes God doesn’t answer our prayers the way we’d like. This devotional plan by Katie Faris offers insight into our suffering and helps to enable readers to see God’s grace in the midst of struggle.

As He Spoke to Me I Was Strengthened

We all experience great loss- the loss of a relationship, a job, a loved one, or simply the loss of life as it once was. We’re sure that life is not supposed to be this way and so we grieve and mourn for what could have been. And we’re not alone. Part 3 of this series will help us learn the language and heart of lament in Scripture.

Good Grief Part 3: Learning to Lament With Jesus

We know we’re going to die one day, but that seems far away. Then you wake up one morning with a sore throat and an earache. A few tests later, the news comes back that you have cancer. What?!

Identity in the Barren Place

Whether it’s the loss of a job, a child who has gotten into serious trouble, a relationship that’s in peril, or a loved one with a debilitating illness, at some point, something in our lives will strip us of all control.

Hang On, Let Go

No one wants to experience loss, right? But, when circumstances beyond our control come in and rip opportunities right out of our hands, what are we supposed to do with the sense of loss that creates? How do we handle it when everything we thought was going to happen just vanishes? This plan will help us reflect on how God can walk with us through that pain.

Life has a way of getting us down. Whether it’s the loss of a job, a financial crisis, or a broken relationship, each of us knows the taste of disappointment. Knowing how to bounce back from these struggles is vital if we are to fully experience God’s provision and grace in our lives. In this series, Dr. Evans provides the biblical foundation for learning how to handle disappointment in our everyday lives.

Bouncing Back From Disappointment

Each of us is sure to suffer at some point in our lives. As a counselor, I’ve seen sufferers transformed. I’ve seen those once debilitated by trauma learn to suffer well. In this brief devotional, I pray that you will realize that your story is not over. You may experience suffering, but you can suffer well. You can ask,  What’s next?  instead of getting stuck asking,  Why?  You can become resilient.
