Seriously, God? God Won't Tell Me Why There's Pain? // Mike Novotny // Time of Grace

If God cared than I wouldn’t be in so much constant pain. If God cared then He wouldn’t have watched people destroy my life since I was a child until this day.

This hit hard today. I posted earlier about Job as I lay by my brothers bedside, waiting on God to make him perfect again. Trying to be grateful like Job. And then this video came through. God is near today! May he cover us 🙏

I’m in a job like experience since I heard the deadful news that my just 18 year old freshman in college was hit with her roommate by a teen driver 17 stole a car didn’t slow down enough for them both to walk in a crosswalk . Her roommate survived and unfortunately my daughter didn’t survive her injuries 😢(Parent Worst Nightmare) I’m heart broken 😞 💔Because we are believers in Christ and we sent her protected in every way we knew how! I didn’t want this to be my portion 😢please pray for me!

God disciplines those whom He love. Everything happens for the good of those who love Him. God 's thoughts are not our thoughts. His ways are not our ways.

Thank you for this message

[@clauderogers6463]

It also says in the bible god is not a vengeful god so why are you saying that he is getting back at us for something bad we did???

Just don't ask. Pain is there. That is all you need to know. Remember that you are the creature, not the Creator. The GROW movement in Australia, said that asking these questions simply prevents you from getting better. What better answer than to say, "It is all God's fault."? The rest of us simply say: Pain is real; everybdy experiences it. Those who accept the world for what it is will be healed sooner than those who say to God: "I won't allow myself to heal until You meet my demands." Or the woman on these videos who said: "God didn't deliver to my doorstep a husband meeting my demands, so I don't believe in God." I was born with major depression. There are plenty with my condition, who wait patiently for the right pill to come along. I likened myself to a Paralympian. I accepted my disability, and simply got on with my life. I could hold down a job for only 5 years, but every time I lost one, I started applying for another one. The blind telephonist at one of my workplaces was doing the same, living a life as full as her disability allowed. That is ahealthy approach. There is a story from the Basque country, who believe that Jesus and St Peter visited their land. They came across a man whose wagon had broken down. He was down on his knees in the middle of the road, praying for help. St Peter said "What perfect faith! Let's go down and help him." Jesus disagreed. Further on they found another man inthe same situation. He was trying his hardest to get the wagon going, and swearing like the proverbial trooper. He was the one Jesus was willing to help, because he was trying to do something about his situation. A nun once said: "I do my one inch, and leave it to God to do the other 11."
