Sermon of the Week: Jimmy Davis; Praying Through Pain

Send us Fan Mail

Pain is not a waste of time. According to Romans 8, God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, and that includes suffering. Psalm 43 gives us a honest and practical path for praying through pain rather than running from it. The psalmist models what it looks like to come to God as you really are, desperate, discouraged, and longing for His presence. He asks God to send His light and truth to lead him back, and along the way he arrives at the altar, where repentance and grace meet. The destination of the entire prayer is God Himself, described as exceeding joy. Not the removal of pain, but the presence of God, is the good life we were made for. Because of the empty tomb, that joy is never out of reach.
