Come on, admit it—we've all had moments when we've questioned our faith, questioned God, or wondered if He truly sees and cares. Those questions often surface when life takes an unexpected turn. The death of a loved one, a cancer diagnosis, conflict around the world, or suffering like the famine in Sudan can all lead us to ask the same question: "God, how can You allow this?"

This Sunday, we're going to explore Psalm 73, read in full by Jail Ministry volunteer, Mark Taylor. In many ways, it's the book of Job in miniature. The psalmist comes within inches of walking away from his faith as he wrestles with doubt, injustice, and the apparent prosperity of the wicked. Yet by the end of the psalm, he finds himself closer to God than ever before.

How did he move from doubt to confidence? From confusion to trust? That's the journey we'll take together this Sunday. And the hope of Psalm 73 is this: if God met the psalmist in the middle of his questions, He can meet us there too.

I hope you'll join us as we discover that even when life doesn't make sense, God is still good, still present, and still worthy of our trust.
