There are seasons when we can’t see what’s ahead, but we can still trust the One who walks with us and talks with us along the way. This is a conversation about when God seems unfair.
Me: I don’t understand why You let some things happen.
God: I know. And I’m not asking you to pretend you do.
Me: But it feels wrong to question You.
God: It isn’t wrong. It’s honest. And honesty is where I meet you.
Me: Still, why does it have to hurt so much?
God: Because you live in a world that’s broken, and broken things cause pain. But I’m with you in all of it.
Me: Sometimes it feels like You’re silent.
God: I’m not silent. I’m steady. And sometimes steady feels quiet.
Me: I just want to know You’re still here.
God: I am. Even when you can’t see My hand, I am still lifting you up.
Me: So You’re not disappointed when I ask why?
God: No. I’m only saddened when you think you have to ask alone.
Me: I’m trying to trust You.
God: And I’m walking with you while you learn how.
God would rather have your honest questions than your silent wondering.
