Is your pain actually a prayer? (Finding God in our Deep Longings)


Listen Later

We tend to believe that trials and times of fear or grief, mean we've done something wrong. We feel that if we just prayed more, were more faithful with our spiritual disciplines, etc, we would feel fine, even through the worst!

But Scripture offers a different picture. Feeling our grief, fear, and pain, while lifting it all to God is prayer. Feeling bad is NOT a sign that I am bad. It’s an honest experience and expressing it to God is a powerful and intimate connection with God. 

And more than that, our deep longings point to a deeper, more real reality that is waiting for us in the resurrection!
