Lord, there is much I do not understand.
At the top of the list is suffering.
Why is there so much needless pain?
Why is there cancer?
Why is there hatred and disease?
Why would you create a place where these exist?
I am not one to simply say that you cause suffering for your reasons.
I am not one to say, when a young person is killed, “God knows best.”
Yet, within this mystery, I still trust these things to you,
Knowing you must be so infinitely more wise
That I can only hope,
Through study and prayer,
To come to know you better.
Then maybe I can understand your world better.
Lord, please help,
Because sometimes it seems to be more than I can bear.
Amen.
