When God Feels Far Away
In these sacred sections, we go with Joseph to Liberty Jail. These sections were written by him while imprisoned and during one of the darkest times of his life. He pleads with the Lord, asking why the suffering of the Saints continues—and the Lord answers with comfort, eternal perspective, and powerful doctrine. We learn what true priesthood power looks like, and how it must be used with love, meekness, and righteousness.
The Lord also reminds us that adversity has a purpose and that nothing we experience is wasted when we remain faithful. These chapters are a powerful reminder that God is aware, that His justice is sure, and that our trials can refine us for His work.
