Forsaken

Listen as a Black sister describes her spiritual journey to her brother after experiencing a professional struggle that caused a spiritual reexamination. Her spirituality and relationship with her faith are central to why she does her work. However, after recent stress and trial at work, she has felt ‘forsaken’ by God. She describes this experience as a spiritual search where she is trying to understand why she underwent such an immense trial and how she can persevere through her faith.

I’m on this spiritual search. And I know that it’s going to all make sense. And that it’s all going to work according to Romans 8:28 it’s going to all work eventually for good. But it’s hard seeing and understanding why.
