Sometimes we can feel like God must not care, or He would not have let our child die and allow us to be in so much pain. There are many people in the Bible who also felt like God had abandoned them. In this episode, Laura shares a few of these, based on a song she likes to listen to occasionally, to remind her that God really does see our struggles and He cares.

Thank you Laura, you are such an encourager and giver of strength from the scriptures! I found you via our grieving moms group who sent everyone in our group the Advent Book – Hope for the future. The book was really the first book that was able to hold my attention after the loss of my 1st son, 4 yrs ago. I recently lost his twin brother almost 6 months ago. I was /am utterly crushed and questioning my faith and purpose remaining here on earth. Your book HELPED direct and restore my faith so much. I am so thankful. The wisdom God has shared through your writings are such a tremendous help to this special group of pareavors whom I believe God has an extra special place for us in Heaven. As silver & gold, is refined through the fire, God is refining us and purifying us through this furnace of affliction & grief. We must trust the Lords work as one day soon, He will present us refined as gold before our Heavenly Father and soon coming King of Kings!
Hello Crissanne, I am so very sorry about your double losses… I cannot imagine… Thank you for letting me know that some of what God has given me to share has been a help to you. May you continue to walk into greater hope as the Lord leads you out of the darkness and back into light and life.
