I'm really feeling screwed up tonight and I'm hoping someone here can be a messenger.
1.Why won't God talk to me? Or even skip me and talk to my agnostic friends that I pray will meet him? He's the most powerful being in the universe, I just don't get it. I've sat in darkness for a while, literally, just me and darkness, hoping to be joined by an everlasting light and while I know he's omnipresent, he didn't speak, or put his arm on my shoulder or anything. I don't get it.
2.Why do bad things happen to good people?
And I know, it's a sinful world, bad stuff will happen. And I also know that rain makes us grow, not sunshine. But still. A man who loves and serves God for his entire life is faced with cancer? Or his wife dies in a car wreck? Or his adopted children get taken? It's not fair and God could prevent it so easily. I'm so broken and desperate right now with these things.
You get stronger and learn more from adversity and resistance. How you handle adversity is an example to others.
