Bringing our emotions to God

24 Mar 2022 • From Bishop Richard Jackson

In recent weeks, Bishop Richard has been been speaking about the understanding of God that lies behind a Christian approach to suffering.  But, he says, our Christian convictions 'do not invite a passivity or stoicism in the face of human suffering.... The psalmists invite us into a spiritual dialogue in which the gloves come off.... As we reflect on the losses of COVID [over the last two years], or the injustice and brutality of the Ukrainian invasion, let’s be unafraid of bringing [our] emotions to God.'
