Pain doesn’t cancel faith—but it sure can cloud it. For many believers, seasons of deep sorrow can feel like walking through fog with no clear direction. Doubts creep in. Prayers feel unanswered. God seems distant.

Yet the Bible reminds us that these moments don’t disqualify us—they define the depth of our trust. The Psalms are filled with cries of anguish. Jesus Himself wept. Faith isn’t the absence of sorrow—it’s continuing to hold God’s hand through the tears.

How has sorrow shaped your faith?
Have there been moments where grief made you question—but also drew you closer to God?

“We may not always understand God’s plan, but we can always trust His heart.”
