For These Tough Times

“When all that is good falls apart, what can good people do?” –Psalm 11:3. Isn’t David’s question ours? When jobs are lost, marriages fall apart, and loved ones die, what are we to do? David answers his own question with a declaration: “The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord sits on his throne in heaven” (Ps.11:4). The point is unmistakable: God is undeterred by our problems. People are hurting, but he is there. He is still in control. When unspeakable tragedies and incomprehensible losses occur, we are saddened, angry, even vengeful. And we are full of questions. Why would God allow this atrocity? How can God bring good from such sadness? How should I pray in this time of great suffering? In this audiobook, a re-release of Lucado’s original book For These Tough Times, we’ll search for some answers. And along the way, request God’s peace and understanding.
