Episode Synopsis

Are you avoiding pain—or learning to endure it with purpose? In a culture obsessed with comfort, we look to the Psalms for a deeper perspective on suffering. Through the raw and heartfelt cries of King David, we uncover a powerful truth: that pain is not something to run from, but a path that can lead us closer to God. This week's teaching invites you to reflect on your own trials and consider how God might be using them to refine, strengthen, and draw you nearer to Him. Find comfort, courage, and renewed hope as we explore how honest lament can become a doorway to deeper faith and lasting peace. ---------------- Psalm 6 1 O Lord, rebuke me not in your anger,     nor discipline me in your wrath. 2 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;     heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled. 3 My soul also is greatly troubled.     But you, O Lord—how long? 4 Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;     save me for the sake of your steadfast love. 5 For in death there is no remembrance of you;     in Sheol who will give you praise? 6 I am weary with my moaning;     every night I flood my bed with tears;     I drench my couch with my weeping. 7 My eye wastes away because of grief;     it grows weak because of all my foes. 8 Depart from me, all you workers of evil,     for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping. 9 The Lord has heard my plea;     the Lord accepts my prayer. 10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;     they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
