Sometimes I have a day when I ask God why. Then I get reminded that in our walk with Jesus, it's not about explaining the mysteries of life, it is about resting in the truth. The truth is this: We have a God who loves us so much he sent His Son to die for us. We live in a world that is plagued with problems and struggles that we aren't immune to and can't explain. In the hard times, we can cry out to our heavenly Father for comfort. He is with us, walking with us, carrying us through all of life’s struggles.
So we have a choice. Do we dwell on struggling to find the answers to the Why? Sometimes, yes we do, especially when we hurt. But we can eventually look to our Maker and place our trust in Him. We can't understand what God has prepared for us in this life or for eternity. Until then, He has given us His Holy Spirit to guide us and to be the great Comforter. So when we cry out Why, only He can quiet our souls. In Him we can find comfort, peace, and rest, even when we can’t find explanations.
God doesn't want us to get caught up in trying to explain the mystery, but to focus on Him. We are called to look toward Him and know that He is with us and we cannot even imagine His purposes or His plan. Trusting in God doesn't mean we abandon our emotions and feelings; focusing on Him, reminds us that He is with us and we never go through our struggles alone.
