Welcome, I’m Vaneetha.
I’m so glad you’re here. My prayer is that you’ll find hope in these pages. I’ve lived with suffering and I know you have too. It all matters. And it’s all hard. God met me in an unmistakable way in my suffering and I write so that others can experience that as well.

Desperate for Hope: Questions We Ask God in Suffering, Loss, and Longing
Have you ever asked, Why am I going through this? What if this never gets better? Does God really care about me? When life falls apart, it’s easy to feel alone and slip into despair—disillusioned with God, hopeless about the future, and doubting your faith.
In this 7-session study, Vaneetha Risner tackles the hard questions and offers a scriptural framework to help you find hope in your pain. She will be a gracious guide through this difficult topic, walking with you as you meet women in the Bible who suffered loss, and sharing her own experiences of longing and grief. In the end, you’ll find that the answers to your deepest questions can be found in the character, goodness, and sovereignty of God.
