WHERE IS GOD WHEN IT HURTS? Lesson 32

God is nearer than you can ever imagine. He is the God that is ever near. Many people ask the question, 'where is God when it hurts'? He is ever near whispering to us his song of love and care. Many of God’s choicest servants have experienced God’s powerful, uplifting presence in the midst of unspeakable sorrow. Often they look back later and marvel at how God brought them through when their own resources completely failed. We need a glimpse of God’s presence all around us—even in the midst of difficult circumstances. God can give us glimpses of his nearness to us as we press in to seek after him. To feel God's nearness, focus on his Majesty and faithfulness.
