when we are much younger it may be easier to accept "misfortunes" that come into our lives. after living a life as a christian for so long, sometimes i take a long while before i can come to terms with a life crisis. telling myself : "god is sovereign, it is god's will" is very much easier than living with the crisis after that. doubts do surface again and again.so i find myself always asking god the question : "why?"
i think god does not mind us asking him to let us know his reasons for "allowing" some things to occur. but he may not wish to tell us the "answer" yet. i think he wants us to continue to believe in him even though we don't know why. it's all a matter of exercising our faith in him that is what he really really wishes to see and he is really really pleased with.
yeah - always difficult to sustain ourselves when the crisis is so real, so close to our hearts. but know what? we can rely on his holy spirit to help us, his people (christians) to support us. i learnt from a crisis 4 years ago that i should not be "shy" to ask for help from brothers or sisters in christ. it is very important to keep close not just to god but also to fellow believers.
yes, abigail, i agree with you - god will sail through our storms with us - i sincerely believe this.
