“Where is God When Life Hurts?”

When Life Breaks, Where Is God?

We’ve all been there.

You get the phone call that changes everything. The job is gone. The diagnosis is bad. The person you trusted walks away. Or maybe it's not one big thing—maybe it's a thousand small things slowly wearing you down.

In moments like these, one question rises louder than the rest:

“Where is God?”

If He’s loving, why does He feel so distant? If He’s powerful, why doesn’t He stop the pain? And if He’s good, why does life hurt so much?

You're not alone in asking that. From the cries of David in the Psalms to the agony of Jesus in Gethsemane, the Bible is filled with people who have asked the same questions. Not once. Not quietly. But honestly, tearfully, and sometimes angrily.

And yet—God is not offended by our questions.
 He doesn't turn away from us when we break.
 In fact, He draws closer.

This book is not a collection of clichés or easy answers. It’s a journey—through the Word of God, through real-life stories, through pain, and toward healing. We’ll explore the truth that God doesn’t always rescue us from the fire, but He always meets us in it.

You’ll find Scripture to anchor your soul.
 Illustrations to help you see things differently.
 Stories to remind you: you are not alone.

Because the God who was with Joseph in the prison, Job in the ashes, and Jesus on the cross—is the same God who is with you right now.

So if you’re hurting, doubting, or just holding on by a thread—this book is for you.

Let’s find out together where God is… when life hurts the most.
