"In the midst of our suffering we need a wake-up call to the truth that God's steadfast love never ceases."
—Dave Furman, Senior Pastor, Redeemer Church of Dubai; author, Being There and Kiss the Wave
Are you feeling despondent, depressed, or discouraged? When we encounter severe trials and suffering, we are often tempted to think that our situation is somehow out of God's hands. In these dark times, God seems silent, and we feel isolated, confused, and alone. Everyone experiences suffering; even the biblical writers expressed anguish at times. This emotion is clearly captured in the Psalms. Through these brief meditations on Psalms 88 and 89, Ligon Duncan shows us how to respond to our own suffering with the assurance of our heavenly Father's mercy, which sustains us even in the darkest circumstances.
Includes a foreword by Mark Dever, president of 9Marks and pastor at Capitol Hill Baptist Church
