Vajtimet 2:19

Are there places you’ve blamed yourself for things beyond your control? When you love someone struggling with a substance use disorder, or have lost someone to addiction, it can feel overwhelming and like nothing makes sense anymore. Redeemed Tears is a chance to pause and remember that God is redeeming the pain, the waiting, the grief, the questions — all of it. Start this plan today to be reminded that you are not alone, it’s not your fault, and there is hope.

This plan helps us to see ourselves and others as God sees us and not how we often view our own lives. Using the lyrics form his songs musician Michael McMillan helps us focus our attention on what it is important to God.

Why do bad things happen to good people? Why there is so much suffering in life? When life feels unfair, and the world feels broken, you need to know there’s a God who understands and wants to restore all things. In this plan, you will learn how grieving, hoping, and gratitude can help you make sense of your suffering.

We need songs we can share—songs that inform our hearts and minds of what is true for the times when we cannot think true things for ourselves. Over five days, Sandra McCracken’s Send Out Your Light plan meditates on the effects of God’s goodness, righteousness, and faithfulness on uncertainty, anger, and fear.
