When You Struggle to Believe God is Good The Devoted Dreamers Podcast
-
- Christianity
Whatever your circumstances right now, I pray this honest conversation about learning to trust God’s goodness gives you hope to persist and present your requests to the Lord. There is no worry too big for him; there is no amount of doubt He cannot handle. Maria’s story will help you press into Jesus and come out on the other side of today’s concerns with a deeper trust in God and a desire to abide with Him in all things.
Weakness, grief, loss, and pain are not topics we love to talk about. Profound pain makes me want to run and hide and isolate from even the people who love me most. When Maria lost her parents in a plane crash, the story of her brother surviving his second plane crash made their story very public; but publicity was not the world in which she wanted to work out her feelings and questions for God.
This beautiful and honest conversation about finding God’s goodness amidst terribly loss feels timely given the season of loss, grief and struggle in our nation right now due to the coronavirus pandemic. No matter how these circumstances have touched you – very much or very little – I pray that the moments you spend listening to Maria’s journey to believing God’s goodness for herself will move you to trusting in Him more as well.
Specifically, pay attention to the following in this episode:
That it’s okay to question God; your questions are not a threat to Him. What it means to delight in weakness and trust His strength How grief can lead the way for important discoveries in your faith. What it looks like to “practice” God’s truth and His character and how that grows your trust for Him. You’ll find the show notes and all the ways to connect with Maria Hatch-Bowersock, here: http://www.merrittonsa.com/podcast/150
