Many Are the Afflicted | Ps 34 Series // 61

Have you ever walked through a season where you genuinely didn't know how the story was going to end? Maybe it was your marriage. Maybe it was betrayal, grief, a diagnosis, or a loss that left you wondering, "Lord...how much longer?" In this final episode of our Psalm 34 Summer Series, we're looking at one of the most comforting promises in Scripture: "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18) We'll talk about why hardship isn't evidence that God has abandoned you, what David really means when he says, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous," and how God's presence often becomes most real in our darkest seasons. I'll also share part of my own story of walking through one of the hardest seasons of my marriage and how I experienced God's faithfulness when I couldn't see how things would ever be redeemed. If you're carrying disappointment, unanswered questions, or the weight of a painful season, I pray this conversation reminds you that your story isn't over. God is still near. He is still faithful. And He is still in the business of redeeming what feels broken.
