Summary

God, have you forgotten me? Am I being punished? What’s going on because I just don’t get it. Anyone been there? Doubts can start to creep in when we think God isn’t answering our prayers and we have no idea how long the silence will last. In these times, it’s tempting to rely solely on our own logic to try to make sense of it. But if we trust that God’s thoughts are greater, wiser, and far more powerful than ours can ever be, then we must also believe there’s a lot in this life we’re just not going to understand. And even when things don’t make sense to our earthly minds, we can have hope because we can trust the character of God. Our Heavenly Father is always good, only does good, and works all things for our good.This episode will empower you to find hope, defeat doubt, and live with joyful expectation even when life doesn’t seem to make sense.
