The Absence of God: Where is God in times of trouble? by Fr. Anthony Mourad

The Absence of God: Where is God in times of trouble?
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; One God, Amen.
Where is God in times of trouble? Is he absent, does he leave us and abandon us? What does it even mean to say that God is ‘absent’? If you are anything like the rest of the human race, then surely you have struggled with this question at some point in your life and are maybe dealing with it even now! For us to better understand what is happening within us when we feel this way, we must take a step back and take a closer look at some of the things that might have led us to speak in this way.

where is God period? and why are we taught to pray for his help or guidance at all??? can anyone honestly tell me any of their prayers were ever granted? God loves us but chooses not to be with us in this life?

*Where are brave Coptic priest to defend presents of Jesus CHRIST in everyday ORTHODOX Church life ?* The sympathies of Coptic priests to Protestantism, a visible dislike for the symbols of Christ God and our Lord, Luciferian stars at Christmas in the Coptic Orthodox Church 2019 in Warsaw and in 2020 at the Pope in Cairo gives a reason to ask about the practical side of Orthodox today. Are there any symbols in every Apostolic Church, but only colorful decorations? Do we necessarily have to make a silent conversion soon to Protestantism and then to Islam with the Quran in all the Apostolic Churches? The Cross of CHRIST protects us from tyranny, is that why the followers of God the Savior are to reject this Holy Sign of the Cross so that Bolshevik terror prevails, which the world has not known before? The Coptic Pope who died 10 years ago clearly mentioned the subversive activity of Protestant pastors who dressed up in Coptic turbans. So how is it today with the Coptic Orthodox Church?
