Finding God in Dark Times: Embracing Spiritual Struggles

Keep seeking God amid darkness and confusion, as illustrated by biblical figures like St. John of the Cross and Job. Be honest about your struggles. Seek community support, and professional help for emotional health challenges.

He Hears and Sees His

The Israelites endured harsh oppression in Egypt, their suffering seemingly unnoticed. However, God heard their cries and remembered His promise to bring them out of bondage. Although it seemed hopeless, God knew what He was doing. God knows and sees brings us hope even in affliction, offering assurance of purpose and eventual understanding.

Healing Journey

Dan Foster’s article, “The Cost of Avoidance,” explores the value of embracing pain for lasting growth and healing. By facing our pain, we can find healing and connect with others in a deeper, more compassionate way. Just as Jesus turned his suffering into a redemptive act, we can use our own experiences of pain to foster personal growth and empathy for others.
