From Psalm 31, this sermon shows how the Psalms give us words to express pain and trust in God during life's darkest seasons. Jacob walks through a five-part approach to taking refuge in the Lord: directing our gaze to God, describing our suffering honestly, deepening our trust, depending on Him for help, and dwelling on His goodness. Ultimately, we see God's goodness most clearly in Jesus, who suffered and was forsaken so we never would be. Even in hardship, we can trust that our times are in His hands and nothing can separate us from His love.
