RE: Have You Ever Been in a Situation Where You Question God?
Hi, @goodybest!
The truth is, there are very complex situations in life when we ask ourselves, “Where is God?”
In your specific case, when you were suffering from high blood pressure and seeking God’s face in prayer so He would help you overcome that health crisis, it seemed as though there was no answer. And the saddest part is that, when you compare your situation to that of others especially when they seem to be thriving you feel that questioning God is justified and reasonable.
In life, we learn that God is sovereign and does not place more burdens on His children than they can bear. The good news is that you continue to trust Him.
I’d like to ask the author of the question in your thread:
Friend, @josepha, have you ever found yourself in a specific situation where you questioned God because you couldn’t see His help at that moment?
I’m pleased to comment on this important post, which resonates with me as a Christian.
Best of luck.
Your statement tells me that I am not exempt. Yes, I have asked myself, "Where is God?" especially at the time I lost my Mother while in school, preparing for my final exams. My mom fell sick and suffered a lot before she passed away, and during her burial I only saw her corpse; it wasn't opened because of how damaged her body was. I don't like talking about the situation that makes me ask/question my creator, God, because it makes me feel sad and it can result to me hating some people in my life over the death of my beloved mom 😭.
I understand your perspective, because it’s very difficult and complicated to cope with the death of someone as dear as a mother. It happened to me four years ago, when my mother passed away, and during those difficult moments, she was able to confess her sins and accept God as her Savior. However, it’s like a small thorn in the heart: it troubles us and, at times, leads us to ask ourselves, “Why couldn’t God have done something?”
Your stance is firm, and digging up the dust of the past would lead you to question many people; however, your question or the theme of this Season 35 challenge gives us much to think about and deserves to be considered as part of a profound spiritual debate, without calling God’s sovereignty into question.
Good luck, my friend.
That's the truth, and it's how I do feel. Sometimes, when we remember something that happened to us in the past, we think about hate or love.
