Does God see what I'm going through? Why does He feel so far away? Stress, loss, and hardship can have an isolating effect. We often feel cut off and alone, not only from those around us but also from God. This four-week daily devotional takes a closer look at our common misconceptions about God when we experience pain and loss. Through the use of Bible verses, in-depth questions, and practice exercises and meditations, you will discover God has never left you. He's right beside you and waiting to draw you nearer. Rediscover God's loving presence as you pass through difficult times. You are very precious to him. He's never forgotten you. This book was formerly titled Pain as a Starting Point by the same author.
