Job 1:18, 19

Life happens! However, at times -after it happens- it leaves us bewildered, with blurred vision. Life has a way of readjusting our focus. And oftentimes, that readjustment and realignment occurs through unfortunate events. It is my prayer that we do not lose our identity and purpose when life hits hard. I hope that through your ups and downs, God would provide “Clarity In Unfortunate Events”.

This reading plan accompanies you through difficult times when suffering and doubt seem overwhelming. Using biblical stories as examples, we discover how God is close to us even in the deepest pain. The plan encourages us to trust in God's faithfulness despite hopelessness, to adopt his perspective and to find hope that goes beyond the earthly. God remains good—even in suffering.

Does suffering ever cause you to wonder if God is punishing you? Through study of God's word, reflection and prayer, let this 4-day plan help you draw closer to God in difficult times.

How can the heroes of the Bible inspire us to greatness? Join us in this four-day reading plan as Kristi Krauss motivates us with Esther's risk-taking, Job's hidden treasure, Isaiah's hope for good, and Jeremiah's endurance of opposition. Don't be surprised if these testimonies transform your life.
