Read by the author.

Find hope when your world is falling apart.

Where do you turn in seasons of despair? What do you do when you don't know what to do?

Hardship and adversity touch everyone--illness, grief, accidents, trauma, loneliness, relationship struggles, financial crises, sin, addiction, life stressors, and so much more can leave you feeling lost, hopeless, and isolated.

You are not alone. When author Ben Locke was in his darkest valleys, he was determined to tell God exactly what he thought. He poured out his agony and anger--and was met with God's grace, love, forgiveness, and mercy. He discovered in those moments that God can handle it. All of it. And the prayers that poured out Ben's experience offer a road map for you to take your sorrows, grief, and troubles to God, knowing He will meet you in your time of suffering.

In Our Suffering, Lord Be Near can be a light in the darkness if you ever:

• Feel like questioning, yelling at, doubting, or even denouncing God • Want to separate from the church • Wonder if God is listening to your prayers and cares about your troubles • Do not know what to do with your anger • Fear that life will be this way forever

The psalm like prayers borne out of these experiences will meet you in your own moments of suffering. But they are more than prayers. They're cries for help and explosions of anger, mourning, weeping, grieving, celebrating, rejoicing, and praising. They're liturgies to heal your soul, balm for your wounds, and tender mercies for your heartache. This book will help you know that:

• God is with you, even if you don't feel Him or understand what is happening • God offers you grace and mercy, no matter what • God delivers you and gives you strength

Let these words help you articulate your own sorrows, bring you to your knees, encourage you to confess your insufficiency, and express your most genuine emotions. In Our Suffering, Lord Be Near will help find hope in God when your world is falling apart. God can handle your suffering. So, tell Him.
