2 Corinthians 1:3-5

We know that God is a caring and loving God so why does He sometimes say “no” to our prayers or circumstances? Why is there confusing silence when it seems that the plans we have prayed are so in line with His will? In this 3-day plan, pray along with someone who has experienced that confusion and that pain. Pray for clarity, but also for understanding and perspective as God takes you through the difficult journey of knowing how to respond when God says “no.”

This 3-Day Bible study is one in a series of 19 others related to Making Jesus Culture. We look at how to honor and worship God through all elements of culture, including the home, family, church, business, media/arts, government, and education. Accompanying these studies is over 300-Hours of video footage from 150 of today's top Christian thinkers on creativity, innovation, and invention at www.makejesusculture.com.  

In this reading plan, Dr. Tony Evans explains three truths from Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth that believers should know and understand so they can praise God as the God of comfort even in their seasons of affliction.

In this devotional, Dr. David Mende reminds us that God comforts us in our afflictions through the indwelling Spirit. God doesn’t comfort us so that we can be merely comfortable. Rather, he wants us to become channels of comfort to others.
