The Pain Behind the Mask: Acknowledging the Hurting Places That Only God Can Heal Olivia James

We all experience times when God seems far away. Sometimes we feel that he is most distant in times of our deepest pain and anguish, and we find ourselves asking, "God, where are you? " We wonder why, when we need him the most, it feels like he's forgotten about us or left us to figure out the answers on our own. It is in these instances that we must have faith that he is always with us and hears our cries. The Pain behind the Mask shares the lesson that no matter what we're facing in our lives-whether we've been hurt by friends or loved ones or something else entirely-we can always rely on the Lord to bring us through these difficult situations. Too many times we are met with situations where we are unable or unsure of how to forgive, and we end up wearing our pain behind a mask, never realizing who God wants us to be. Through Scriptures and encouraging words, The Pain behind the Mask will show us how to let go of the pain we've been carrying and truly embrace God's plan for our lives.
