2. Corinthieit 1:6

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.”

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.

As we’re more isolated from each other than ever before during this unprecedented time, three biblical stories help us think about new ways we can work together.
