He will not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting [confidently relying on and believing] in the Lord.Psalm 112:7 (AMP)
When we find ourselves in the midst of a struggle or adversity, we often ask God, “Why? Why is this happening to me?”
Let’s imagine, for one moment, that God actually answered that question. Would His explanation change anything? The effects of the situation would still be with you. What would you have learned?
When we ask God that question, what we’re really asking is, “God, do You love me? Will You take care of me in my sorrow and pain? You won’t leave me alone, will You?” Is it possible that we ask for explanations because we’re afraid God doesn’t truly care about us?
Instead, we can learn to say, “Lord, I believe. I don’t understand, and I’ll probably never grasp all the reasons bad things happen, but I know for certain that You love me, You are good, and You are with me—always.”
Prayer
Lord, I trust in Your love and goodness. Even when I don’t understand, I know You are always with me. Strengthen my faith in You through every struggle. I love You, amen.
