Where is God When I’m Suffering?

Where is God When I’m Suffering? 2015-08-13T15:43:53-10:00 Jefferson Bethke
Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.
One of the biggest questions of our day is where is God when things go bad, sideways, or spin out of control. I’ve asked myself this question many times, and I’ve searched the scriptures for the answer. A lot of times I felt like I was only met with silence. But recently I’ve realized God is in that very place. In the silence. God didn’t leave us out in the cold or leave us down here, but in fact is incredibly unique because He’s the only one to come down and enter into our suffering. He actually knows what it’s like! And He says He won’t ever leave us or forsake us. I was inspired and thought more on this theme when I read my buddy Levi Lusko’s new book Through The Eyes Of A Lion. After reading he was gracious enough to let me make a video inspired by the book and kind of on the questions and topics mentioned above. I hope it encourages you guys!
