170: Finding God in the Darkness

When our child dies, it can take us to a very dark place, even if you have had a life-long close relationship with God through the indwelling Holy Spirit. In our place of deep grief, we become a target for the enemy, making it even more difficult to find God through the suffocating darkness. How do we keep going when God seems so far away when we need Him the most? In the last episode Laura talked about when God seems silent. This episode she talks about finding God in that place of darkness.   Links Mentioned in this episode: Add your son or daughter on the Hope Mobile in an In Loving Memory Heart.
