Why do bad things happen to good people? Maybe you've asked it about your own life, or someone you love, and never gotten an answer that made sense.

This week, we sit with the harder question underneath it: how do I pray when I may never know why? Through Psalm 77, we look at what happens when God stays silent and how remembering what He's done before becomes the way we keep praying now, even in the dark.

You'll discover:

  • Why Scripture never hands us a tidy answer for suffering
  • The decision Asaph makes in Psalm 77 that changes the whole prayer
  • How to pray from memory instead of from panic
  • An honest word for any parent still waiting to see fruit they've prayed for

Praying through Life's Battles is available now at battleprayers.com or wherever you buy books. Turn to Day 33, "The Way He Moves for You."
