Suffering Well: Part 5
• Nathan Cole
Suffering is not a question of whether but how—and whether we face it alone or together. Drawing on Psalm 22 (the same anguished cry, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?", that Jesus echoed from the cross) and Genesis 2's declaration that "it is not good for man to be alone," this fifth installment of the Suffering Well series weaves honest stories of devastating loss together with the truth that God enters our pain rather than merely fixing it. The invitation, especially in this Lenten season of remembering Christ's death, is to refuse silent, isolated grief and instead suffer well together—weeping with those who weep and trusting the faithfulness of a God who came down as a suffering Savior to be with us.
