Welcome to the InTouch Podcast with Charles Stanley for Thursday, February 2nd.

Believers never have to grow up their way through difficult times alone.

We always have the steady hand of our loving Heavenly Father to guide us through the dark times.

We all have walked through those dark times in our lives, things we don't understand.

And oftentimes, the things we don't understand.

Why they happen and why they happen when they happen.

Times we feel overwhelmed.

They don't understand what's going on.

Times we just want to give up and quit.

Times when we feel like everything seems to be hopeless and we feel so helpless.

It may be that those dark times come with something financial, something that's continually

a burden in your life.

Or it may be because the marriage breaks up and it's a time of dread, darkness in your

life.

It could be grief over your children for something that's going on in their life.

Maybe you've lost your job.

Maybe it's a time of ill health and it just goes on and on and on.

Maybe your fondest dreams have been dashed and the future looks so gloomy.

All of us are going to go through dark times in our life.

We will always understand why.

Sometimes they're going to be short-lived.

Sometimes they're going to be prolonged and we do not understand why God doesn't stop
