Songs for the Suffering Devotional

A 6-Week Study on Walking Through Suffering

Suffering can strike out of nowhere, leaving us reeling in a sea of emotions, shock, and even despair. It has a way of challenging everything we knew about God and his goodness. But in your darkest moments of pain and confusion, you are not alone—you never are.

Songs for the Suffering is a 6-week study in which Julia Allspaw leads readers through the scary emotions that come with profound suffering—even the emotions we don’t want to admit. This study is a safe place to land for women who find themselves questioning the goodness of God—or even his existence. Julia mines the depth of the Scriptures to offer up real hope when “everything happens for a reason” just doesn’t cut it. While the Bible may feel like the last place you want to bring your pain, Songs for the Suffering seeks to show us just how much of a safe haven the Word of God is for those struggling in seasons of darkness.

Each week includes Scripture reading, guided questions, application points and moments of reflection to delve into the heart of suffering, ask the hard questions, and lean into the Man of Sorrows himself, knowing he is already acquainted with our grief.
