God Is Near in the Midst of Pain

Pain can make it seem as though God is distant, silent, or absent. Yet Scripture assures Christians that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and that He will never leave or forsake His people. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains why believers must anchor themselves in God's promises rather than allowing painful circumstances or overwhelming emotions to define what is true. God's presence does not depend upon whether we can feel it. He remains near, faithful, and actively at work in the lives of His people. Christians can honestly acknowledge their pain while continuing to seek the Lord, trust His Word, and walk by faith rather than sight.
