Many of us find it comforting to see the hand of God at work in the difficult circumstances of our lives.  Often this takes the form of the popular expression, “Everything happens for a reason.”  In the face of real tragedy, however, that sentiment can put our confidence in the goodness of God to the test.  What do we mean when (if) we say it?  Is there a better way to understand the steadfast kindness of God during these times of unprecedented sorrow and stress?  Join us as we pray and ponder our way through these questions.
