Why Am I Suffering?

God gives us hope when tragedies happen. The Bible is the Word of God, and it reveals the reasons for pain and suffering. It also gives us the hope of how to get through trials and sorrows.

God doesn’t want bad things to happen to people. He loves you; He loves people. Like a loving parent, it hurts Him to see His children in pain. So how could a loving, all-powerful God allow terrible things to happen?

This guide explores:

  • God’s caring and compassionate character
  • What to do when it seems like God doesn’t hear you
  • How Jesus Christ is the way through suffering

Uncover the answers to where suffering comes from, why it’s sometimes necessary and how to begin working through life’s trials and challenges with God’s help today.
