Where Is God In Our Suffering? (Pack Of 25)

Those of us who have lost a loved one to disease or have loved ones who are fighting an illness, or who dread its possible return, may sometimes feel as though we?re about to be overwhelmed with fear or that God has abandoned us or doesn?t care about our battles. I am glad to remind you today, that is not the case. He does care. God?s love for us is not wishful thinking. It is not a mirage in the desert of life on earth. He really does love us.Or perhaps we feel that God just doesn?t understand what?s it like to lose a loved one. Author Leslie Montgomery writes, ?Who better than our Father in heaven knows the anguish of losing a loved one, for his own Son died at Calvary.? Yes, God does know. He understands.The Book of Psalms, chapter 34, verse 18, tells us, ?The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.? As you or a loved one face disease, perhaps as you mourn one whose life ended because of a terrible illness, are you brokenhearted, overcome with fear or despair?God understands, God cares, God is near at hand to comfort and help. To those who love him, God says, ?Fear not, for I am with you? I will strengthen you, I will help you? (Isaiah 41:10). You see, God is not an absentee father?he is a present help and refuge. We cannot see him, we cannot physically hear his voice, we cannot literally feel his touch, but he is here with us in our times of crisis.One of the best things about participating in events to support victims of disease i
