“I have found that petty disappointments tend to accumulate over time, undermining my faith with a lava flow of doubt. I start to wonder whether God cares about everyday details — about me. I am tempted to pray less often, having concluded in advance that it won’t matter. Or will it? My emotions and…

All of us will go through the heartache and turmoil of grief in our lives.  It is an experience none of us can avoid. As Christians we have a wonderful hope beyond death in this life. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,…
