Grieving Through Why Questions
BA: Embracing Heartbreak
“On one side you’re encouraged because you know that this hasn’t taken God by surprise, that He won’t leave you in the midst of your pain, and that Jesus can empathize with you, knowing first-hand what it feels like to be rejected by the ones He loved (and loves). On the other hand, knowing that God could have prevented the pain but didn’t, makes us wonder if He really cares about us. Why, if He knew this would happen, wouldn’t He prevent the relationship from ever getting to this point? Why wouldn’t He help us work out our problems? Why didn’t He give us more wisdom? ‘Why’ becomes our mantra. We think and pray and think and pray and the answers, if they come at all, never seem to satisfy.”
This is a good article on more questions to direct at God, especially after a the ending of a relationship. I didn’t agree with the comment about a sinful world. It is our choice not to give/recieve grace that seems to cause pain.
