In Our Suffering, Lord Be Near

Description

Hardship and adversity touch everyone—illness, grief, accidents, trauma, loneliness, relationship struggles, financial crises, sin, addiction, life stressors, and so much more can make people feel lost and hopeless.

You are not alone. In Ben Locke's darkest valleys, he was determined to tell God exactly what he thought. He poured out his agony and anger—and was met with God's grace, love, forgiveness, strength, and eternal mercy. He discovered in those moments that God can handle it. All of it.

The psalm like prayers borne out of these experiences will meet you in your own moments of suffering. But they are more than prayers. They're cries for help and explosions of anger, mourning, weeping, grieving, celebrating, rejoicing, and praising. They're liturgies to heal your soul, balm for your wounds, and tender mercies for your heartache.

Let these words help you articulate your own sorrows, bring you to your knees, encourage you to confess your insufficiency, and express your most genuine emotions. God can handle your suffering. So, tell Him.
