Hey, can I ask you something? Does life kind of hurt right now? Maybe it's a broken relationship, the loss of a loved one, or an unexpected difficulty. In these moments, you might wonder things like, "Why is this happening to me?" Or even, "God, have you left me?" We actually see this question asked twice in the Bible. First, by King David, who wanted to know if God had abandoned him. But then it's asked again by someone else, hundreds of years later.
The second time, it's asked by Jesus, who is preparing to die for you and me. Jesus, God Himself, asks, "God, have you abandoned me?" So if you've ever wondered, "When I’m hurting, does God leave me?", "the answer is no." In our pain, Jesus is more present than ever because He understands. In our pain, He's not absent. He's actually reaching for us.
When was a time where you felt alone? Can you look back and see how God may have been working in that situation, or offering support in an unexpected way?

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.
