زبُور 13:88

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.

Sometimes, no matter which direction we look, it all just seems like too much. Pressures push in on us from every side. Though it’s hard to see, our God is with us even then. In the moments when we need to sit in a dark room, curl into a ball and weep, he is there with us, and he has some surprisingly comforting things to speak into our hearts.

This devotional is meant to create a bridge between worship and work while understanding deep biblical truths. It is the author's desire that your spiritual walk with God will be enriched and deepened so that you live a life of fruitfulness and are productive to the Kingdom of God.
