The message emphasizes the inevitability of pain and suffering in life and the importance of confronting it with faith rather than avoiding it through denial, detachment, or numbing distractions. Using Psalm 23 as a guide, Will Dyer highlights how King David, despite his profound grief and failures, remained faithful to God and found comfort in His presence during dark times. The message encourages individuals to name their pain and grief, trust God to work through it, and allow it to transform them into fuller, more compassionate people. It underscores that suffering, when entrusted to God, can lead to spiritual growth and deeper connection with Him. The act of communion serves as a reminder of Christ's suffering and victory over death, offering hope that pain does not have the final word.
