VENI, VEDI, GRATIAS EGI: Poor & In Pain

Is it possible to be "poor and in pain" and still be thankful?In this first installment of our new series, I Came, I Saw, I Gave Thanks, we look at the raw honesty of Psalm 69. David doesn't ignore his suffering, but he makes a radical choice: to praise God’s name through a song anyway.Join us as we discuss:Why God prefers your honest thanksgiving over empty religious rituals.How Jesus, our "Man of Sorrows," empathizes with our deepest grief and physical pain.Replacing "numbing strategies" (like work, screens, or substances) with a "go-to" worship song that anchors your soul.Gratitude isn't about pretending things are okay—it’s about declaring that God is good even when life is hard.Scripture: Psalm 69:29–33, Hebrews 4, John 16:33
