Sometimes, life is just hard. And one of the hardest things about a difficult season is feeling like nobody can relate to you.

We rounded up some impactful studies for hard times to help you feel less alone during times of difficulty. From biblical examples from thousands of years ago to authors’ struggles today, each resource offers strength, encouragement, and understanding amidst hardship. The words from each author will feel like a hug from your best friend!

In each of the studies below, we hope you’ll find comfort in knowing that even when life is anything but easy, God is right there with you.

With Us in the Wilderness by Lauren Chandler | 7 Sessions

The book of Numbers is a story of identity, wilderness, and God. While it accounts for 39 years of wilderness roaming, it’s also a story of God’s presence among His beloved. In this in-depth study of the book of Numbers and God’s people, you will discover how even when they rebelled—and this book tells of many rebellions—God’s love and promises remained. It’s in that love and those promises the children of Israel found their identity and where we must find ours today.

Trustworthy by Lysa TerKeurst | 6 Sessions

When hard times come and it seems God is deviating from the plan we assume our life should follow, we’re much more likely to want to tame God, not trust Him. In this study of 1st and 2nd Kings, join Lysa TerKeurst in Israel as she honestly reveals the places of distrust in her own heart while exploring the deeply personal applicable Scriptures that will teach us how to truly trust God.

Isaiah by Melissa Spoelstra | 7 Sessions

Following God isn’t about striving; it’s about trusting. As you study the chapters Isaiah wrote, you will learn to rest in God’s promises and trust God more than your own human effort or the counterfeits the world suggests. You won’t be striving harder, but instead trusting more deeply in the Faithful One who is so worthy of our utter dependence. In Him, you’ll find the comfort and peace you need to sustain you.
