Many of us are struggling with the hard places of life right now. Unexpected loss, tragedy, prodigal children, a culture that cries out for hope. Why DO bad things happen—and where is God in the middle of it all?  It’s difficult when we think God made a bad decision, or we don’t understand His plans. Join Heidi today as she addresses this topic and reads a little from her newest book, “Prayers for the Battlefield.” We cannot always understand why things happen — but we can know that God’s heart toward His children is good, and that He never leaves or forsakes His own.

Scriptures:
Psalm 23
