"We face unanswered prayer through sadness and loss, searching Scripture for resilient comfort Paul’s thorn, resurrection hope, shared grief. Question: When prayers end in "no", how does God’s grace sustain faith?"

We share a hard week with our Plays On Word family: praying for baby Samuel, grieving with James and Sara, and holding to the comfort God promises when the answer is "no". Scripture, story, and prayer lead us to a hope that outlasts storms, diagnoses, and silence.

• the God of all comfort amid affliction
• storm updates and travel plans put on hold
• the story of our dear brother James Serpico
pleading for a miracle and facing a "no"
Paul’s thorn, weakness, and sufficient grace
• the Gospel as hope stronger than death
Joseph and Job as patterns for endurance
community duty to help by prayer
• a closing prayer and blessing over the grieving
