Agonizing Peace: Powering Through Traumatic Experiences

If you're not sure where God is during the tough times, or whether He even cares, you're not alone. Are you lacking peace in your life while you walk through a traumatic experience? You're not alone. Discover the path to regain and retain real peace with God, with others, and with yourself amid tragedy. Powering through difficult times is tough, but not impossible. If we knew everything about God, he wouldn't be much of a god, but we know enough about him to trust him, to know that he loves us, to reduce our anxieties, and regain our peace.
