Finding Hope in Hard Times

📖 Introduction

Why do bad things happen? It’s one of the toughest questions to face, especially as a teen navigating a complex and sometimes painful world. From personal struggles at school to family issues or witnessing injustice, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or abandoned. But the Bible offers a clear message: God is not distant or uncaring. Instead, He is deeply present, working through even the hardest moments to bring good.

Don’t be discouraged when life feels unfair. God's love surrounds you, even in suffering. Throughout this study, we’ll explore Scriptures that reveal His presence in pain and how He can transform struggles into powerful stories of hope and growth. Understanding suffering does not mean having all answers right away, but finding peace in God’s promises and learning to trust His greater plan.

As you journey through these three days, reflect on your experiences, be honest with your feelings, and open your heart to the comforting truth that every difficulty has a purpose in God’s hands. You're not alone — He walks with you every step of the way.
