Where Is God?: Finding Peace in a World of Pain

By D P K Maegraith

Where is God when life hurts?
When storms rise, friendships break, grief hits hard, or the world feels overwhelming, it's natural to ask the question we often whisper but rarely say aloud: Where is God in all this pain?

Inspired by the true story behind the classic song It Is Well with My Soul, this eight-part devotional study guides readers-especially teens and young adults-into a deeper understanding of God's peace in the middle of suffering. Through Scripture, stories, and honest reflections, this book gently shows that God does not stand apart from our pain. He steps into it.

Inside these pages, readers will discover:

✅ Why peace is possible even in chaos
✅ How God stays close when sorrow keeps crashing like waves
✅ Why the cross is the crux of suffering-and the beginning of hope
✅ How Jesus' resurrection proves that love is stronger than death
✅ What to do when life feels unfair or friends let us down
✅ How suffering can shape courage, character, and resilience
✅ Why "It is well" can still be true even when life is not
✅ God's final promise: a day when every tear will be wiped away

Each study includes key Scriptures, reflections, personal stories, questions to think about, and prayers that help readers process grief, anxiety, injustice, and confusion with honesty and faith. Whether facing personal hardship or simply searching for deeper hope in a broken world, this book guides readers toward the unshakeable truth that God is present, God is good, and peace is possible.

Tender, truthful, and filled with comfort, Where Is God? invites every reader into the same discovery Horatio Spafford experienced while writing his famous hymn crossing the Atlantic after losing four daughters at sea:

When peace like a river, attends my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, You have taught me to know
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain
It is well, (it is well),
With my soul, (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And has shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to His cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

But Lord, 'tis for You, for Your coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel Oh, voice of the Lord
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
A song in the night, oh my soul
