I am a true believer in God and I know how hard it must be for you.
God does not give us all the answers we want , why I do not know but He has His reasons.
We lost our son a few years back and I did question why He allowed this to happen but I know in my heart it was for a reason unknow to me.
When we all get to heaven we will know why God allowed us to be hurt like were were but for right now we just have to accept His reasons for allowing things to happen as they do.
Just never lose your faith in God, He knows what he is doing, keep the trust in Him.

I don't doubt God exists, but of course I often wonder why he allows some things to happen. He knows, and I sincerely believe that in Heaven we get the opportunity to have our questions answered.

God created this universe out of nothing (a "theory" that science now supports, amusingly enough! ) - he doesn't make mistakes. Our mortal minds cannot solve all his mysteries in one brief lifetime.

And I am very sorry for your losses.

Sweetpeas,
Hey there, it's good to see you,you have so many good posts. The bible says that it rains on the evil and the good. Bad things happen to everyone, could it be that the bad guys might hide it more?? It's all in how we handle it, we have a hope in God and his strength. Things don't seem fair sometimes, but He's aware, and in control of everything. He is where all wisdom comes from.Thank you for being touched with someone else's pain, that's the best of the human race.

First of all, I'm so sorry for the problems you're having, right now. Secondly, I have been having a problem with "questioning God", myself. I have a DEEP faith in God, but I am just questioning why things aren't happening, as I believe they should be. I realize that we should pray for "God's will"...I just wish God's will was the same as mine.

All and all, I still have my deep faith, but I guess you can say I'm just discouraged, right now.

Everyone who ever lived has had problems in their lives. God did not promise it would be easy to live on this planet. When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden,they allowed sin to come into this world and its the sin (satan) who causes the problems.
We don't know why God allows us to be hurt and have all these problems we have but I do know that He has His reasons for allowing them to happen just like He did to Job. Job suffered alot in his life time but in the end God had a purpose for his sufferings and He has a purpose for your problems and sufferings to just like He did for Job.

What you and all of us need to realize is that what-ever we go through in our lives will only strengthen us if we keep our faith in God. So pray to God about your problems and talk to Him about them, He will hear.....
