If you’ve personally felt like the suffering you've endured is tied to something you did wrong or didn’t do right, God isn't asking you to bear that burden any longer. Dig deeper into this topic by downloading "Consider This: Why do bad things happen to God’s people?" for free.
Consider This: Why do bad things happen to God's people? 
Living in the peace we want doesn’t come from the absence of pain and chaos but by knowing Jesus is with us in those things. If you’re longing for this kind of soul-settled assurance, join Dr. Joel Muddamalle in the pages of his new book, The Hidden Peace: Finding True Security, Strength, and Confidence Through Humility.
