‘I want to believe, I want to have wish, but .’ Pastor and bestselling writer Craig Groeschel hears these terms often and offers asked them himself. We want to know God, experience his existence, and trust that he hears our prayers, however in the midst of great pain, we may question if he actually cares about us. Even when we have both hope and harm, sometimes about Hope in the Dark: Believing God Is Great When Life ISN’T it’s the harm that shouts the loudest. Can God become good when existence is not?

In Hope in the Dark, Groeschel explores the storyplot of the father who brought his demon-possessed boy to Jesus, saying, ‘I believe! Help my unbelief!’ In the man’s sincere plea, Jesus heard the strain in the man’s battle-scarred heart. He healed not merely the boy however the father too, driving out the hopelessness that got overtaken him. He can perform the same for all of us today.

As Groeschel shares his pain encircling the current wellness issues of his girl, he acknowledges the questions we might ask inside our own deepest pain: ‘Where was God when I was being abused?’ ‘Why was my kid born having a disability?’ ‘Why did the cancer come back?’ ‘Why are all my friends wedded and I’m only?’ He invites us to wrestle with such questions as we question God to honor our trust and heal our unbelief.

In the middle of your profound pain, you miss authentic words of understanding and hope. You long to know that even in overwhelming reality, you are able to still believe that God is certainly great. Rediscover a faith in the type, power, and presence of God. Even in the questions. Even now.
