The Pursuit of Manliness

464: Ben Locke | In Our Suffering, Lord Be Near

On today's PoM Podcast I sat down and spoke with Ben Locke, the author of "In Our Suffering, Lord Be Near: Prayers of Hope for the Hurting." 

Hardship and adversity touch everyone--illness, grief, accidents, trauma, loneliness, relationship struggles, financial crises, sin, addiction, life stressors, and so much more can leave you feeling lost, hopeless, and isolated.

You are not alone. When author Ben Locke was in his darkest valleys, he was determined to tell God exactly what he thought. He poured out his agony and anger--and was met with God's grace, love, forgiveness, and mercy. He discovered in those moments that God can handle it. All of it. And the prayers that poured out Ben's experience offer a road map for you to take your sorrows, grief, and troubles to God, knowing He will meet you in your time of suffering.
