Pain can be such an isolating experience, even though it is universal in scope. We cannot live our human lives, in the brokenness of this world, and not experience pain. Yet, we also live in a culture that does not know what to do with pain. We are told, implicitly at least, to grieve quickly and quietly. When the reality is that pain is something we cannot just speed through.
Scripture tells this heartwrenching story of Job - a man who suffered a lot of pain. To the point where all he could do was mourn.
Mourn and pray.
Job reminds us that no matter what we may face that we can still turn to God. That God does not leave us alone in our pain. That we are not isolated from the heart of the Holy One because of what we are going through.
Have you ever cried out to God like Job? Have you ever brought your heart before God?
