WATCH GOD ON MUTE
What do you do when God is silent?
“Where are you, God? Can you hear me? Why is this happening to me?” The questions are all too familiar. When we have nowhere else to turn, when circumstances are out of our control, we go to God. But sometimes we hear nothing. We wait. We listen. We plead. We know God is there. He has to be. But we are met with silence.
Pete Greig looks straight in the face at the complexity, uncertainty and painful reality of unanswered prayer. Not just empty words or unapplied theology, Pete teaches with honesty out of his and his wife Sammy’s personal ongoing journey with a brain tumor and incurable cancer. He offers help with the hard side of prayer: how to respond when there seems to be no answers, and how to cope with those around us who try to interpret our experience for us. Unanswered prayer is something we all encounter at some point in our lives. Maybe it’s now, during the coronavirus pandemic, when many of our questions seem to fall into a black hole. Pete brings hope, comfort, and profound biblical insight for all who suffer in silence.
