Get the appI Have Questionsનમૂનો
You know what is the worst? When you're really hurt, or upset, or sad, or stressed out about something, but feel like there's no one to talk to about it — at least, not anyone who'd really get it or really care. Pain does that. It makes you feel alone and isolated, and afraid that no one else could possibly understand what you're going through. When things are really painful, you might even ask questions like, "When life hurts, is God listening?" You aren't the only person to ever ask that question.
It's actually in the Bible. A lot. Especially in the book of Psalms, which is a collection of poems and songs. The psalmists write a lot about their own pain. Here's where they land (and what God confirms): yeah, life hurts sometimes. But even when our prayers are full of anger, hurt, doubt, or accusations, God's still there and — yes, still patiently, lovingly listening.
Has there been a moment when you felt like you were truly heard or valued? What was that like?

About this Plan
In times of loss, grief, pain, or doubt, it’s normal to have questions. If you’ve ever tried to make sense of your circumstances, wished life didn’t have to hurt so much, or wondered why God won’t fix what you’re going through, you’re not alone. In this 4-week devotional series from the Grow Curriculum, we'll look at four big questions we're sometimes afraid to ask, and what God says about them.
