People who have lost their religion as a result of hardship are a typical occurrence. We all experience some level of hardship at some point in our life; perhaps you are now going through a trying moment. Where is God in all of this, or why does he seem so far away, may be questions on your mind. Or perhaps there aren't even any words.
In times of sorrow and despair, Simon Stocks' Songs for Suffering guides readers through the Psalms with care and compassion. The Psalms are the best tool for helping someone stay connected to God through trying times. By expressing how we feel during these difficult moments, they give the suffering dignity and take pain and difficulty seriously. The Psalms even enable criticism of God to be spoken in a secure setting and carefully consider God's ability to atone for sin. The reality of evil and its perpetrators in the Psalms enables a proportionate and God-centered response to those who inflict misery.
You will be able to pray during all seasons of suffering and face challenging themes of faith like despair, failure, tragedy, and terror by adhering to this model and pattern of prayer, which has been the cornerstone of Christian prayer for more than two thousand years.
