Summary: #2022 When your teen’s life starts spinning out of control, you’re undoubtedly thinkin’, “How am I gonna survive this mess?” Hi, I’m Mark Gregston … with Parenting Today’s Teens. The book of Psalms is filled with beautiful songs of praise and thanksgiving. But it also includes some heartbreaking laments. The Psalms teach us that there is a pathway to hope, even in the midst of despair. If you’re dealing with misery at home, start by having an honest conversation with God about your sorrow and suffering. Don’t sugar coat it. Spit it out. He can handle it. Then, look for the silver lining. Look for the ways He’s actually working in your life. Could He be stretching you? Or teaching you to trust Him more? Your circumstances may not change. But you can find hope in knowing this … God is near.
