Your Nightly Prayer: Evening Prayers for Christians

God Is Still Good, Even in Suffering


Listen Later

When life is painful, how do we respond to Scripture’s call to give thanks? In tonight's prayer, Amber Ginter opens her heart in this powerful devotional, revealing her journey through emotional and verbal abuse and the confusion she once felt reading verses that commanded rejoicing in all circumstances. But what she discovered—and what she invites us into—is a deeper truth:

  • God is good despite life’s brokenness.

  • We praise God in all circumstances, not for them.

  • Hardship doesn’t define God’s character—His enduring love does.

Psalm 107 doesn’t gloss over difficulty. It boldly affirms that God is good, even in the "even now" moments—when tears fall, when healing feels far away, and when joy seems hidden. Because we serve a God who is unchanging, our gratitude is rooted not in what we endure, but in who He is.

This kind of gratitude becomes a lifeline in suffering. It gives us language for lament and a heart posture of trust, knowing that though the night may be long, God is still writing redemption into our story.

📖 Tonight’s Scripture: Psalm 107:1 (NIV)

“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.”

🙏 Your Nightly Prayer

Dear God,
Even on the hard days, remind us that you are still good. What we go through may not be good, but we trust you to grow us through painful places. Where the rain falls, let the flowers grow. Help us to be honest with you about our suffering, and comfort us here.
We love, praise, and thank you, Jesus.
Amen.

🧘 Three Things to Meditate Upon

  1. Name Your Pain
    Journal one of your most painful memories. Invite God into that space. Your vulnerability is safe with Him.

  2. Reframe the Relationship
    Do you link God’s goodness to your circumstances? Read Psalm 107 slowly, and reflect on God’s unchanging love.

  3. Encourage Through Action
    Is someone you know hurting? Send a note, offer prayer, or simply sit with them. Being present is powerful.
