At some point, each of us has said to ourselves, or out loud to someone else, “But why God…” It’s a natural response when we find ourselves facing difficulties or challenges that seem overwhelming. We question why certain things happen in our lives, whether because of our sins and mistakes or circumstances beyond our control. But amidst all these uncertainties, we must remember one fundamental truth – God is in control. He allows good and not-so-good things to happen according to His divine will. Sometimes, the consequences we face are a direct result of our ignorance, disobedience, or sin. Other times, they occur purely by accident or due to someone else’s actions.

When We Say To Ourselves, “But Why God?” In Moments Like These, Doubt Creeps In And We Wonder About Life’s Injustices And Hardships, We Often Hear People Ask: “Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?” Remember Another Profound Statement: “We Are All Sinners.” We Cannot Claim Absolute Righteousness Because Of Original Sin Inherited From Adam And Eve Since The Beginning! This Does Not Take Away The Fact That God Still Loves Us!

This notion of “good people“ doesn’t exist. It is important not to shy away from asking God that question – “But why God?” It is part of our nature to seek understanding and clarity during difficult times. Yet even as we pose this question with sincerity and vulnerability before Him, let us also keep in mind that, ultimately, God is God, and we are not.  ~ Bill Greguska

Psalm 42:5  Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet, praise him, my Savior, and my God.

A Powerful Prayer That Offers Peace!

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardships as the pathway to peace, taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it, trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will, that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.

Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)

 

But Why God?Why does God allow certain things to happen against our plans? NeedEncouragement.com

People have heard people say, “If the Lord is so good, why doesn’t he stop murder, rape, disease, hunger, poverty, and other bad things?”  You will find out the answers to this question in the video below. I have asked the Lord this question and other issues like it. I realize that the Lord is in control, even though it may not look like it the way our society is.

The main reason for this problem is that the Lord has given us free will because He wants us to love Him instead of like robots. So when God created us, He had to provide us with free will. Ultimately, we choose what we do but can not determine the consequences or benefits. ~ Bill Greguska
