LOUTAO 88:13

None of us is exempt from loss. We lose what we expected, what we believed, our sense of security or identity. We lose those we love. What do we do with the disruption, disorientation, and devastation of loss? How do we survive the questions about God that happen in dark nights of the soul? In this five-day Bible study, you’ll discover raw, fought-for spiritual wisdom and hope in Christ.

Most of us like the idea of honesty. But when push comes to shove, it can feel impossible to live out. Some of the most radically honest moments in the Bible appear in the Psalms. They deal with remorse for sin, spiritual dryness, grief, anger, pride, unanswered prayer, and more. And sometimes when we can’t find the words, it helps to use the words of another to express how we feel. The Psalms teach us many things, but one thing they teach by example is how to be honest with God.

Prayer is more than a religious routine. It is a relationship with God. In this 7-day devotional, discover what Jesus teaches about prayer, why it matters, how to pray honestly, and how to persevere when prayer feels difficult. Through Scripture and reflection, you will learn to speak with God as your Father, listen for His guidance, and cultivate a deeper life of communion with Him.

Between Friday's crucifixion and Sunday's resurrection sits Saturday — sealed tombs, locked doors, extinguished hope, silence from heaven. The disciples don't know it's only one day. They know only that everything has ended on a cross. Most of us know Holy Saturday. Not the calendar day — but the experience of it. The space between promise and fulfillment. Between what God said and what you can currently see. This plan is not a collection of reassurances. It is a theological reframing of the dark middle itself — and a case, made from Scripture, that you are not alone in it.
