Is it all right to ask God "Why?"
Can we be afraid to the point we cry?
Can we question life"s unchosen road?
Or why we are asked to carry this load?
Was it us? Did we do something wrong?
Is it possible that His grace is really that strong?
Does He know? Does He care?
It sometimes seems He"s not even there.
But just when we think our strength has run out,
When Satan has filled our mind full of doubt,
God reaches down with his comforting hand,
With the simple reminder, "It"s all in His Plan."
We don"t have to worry, "Is there enough Love?"
When we are children of our Father above.
His strength is perfect, His love is pure,
He"ll never give you too much to endure.
Storms make it easy to lose sight of the goal
To be more like Jesus until we are whole.
His mercy shines brightest when our world is dim,
We are not our own, but belong to Him
We can question His plans and question His ways,
If we remember, He deserves our praise.
In spite of the daily-battles we sometimes lose,
It pleases God that it"s FAITH that we CHOOSE.
CHOOSE FAITH!

Live Life in such a way that those who do not know Christ will come to know Him because they know you
i've asked why before and received an answer. i questioned God about the heart attack that shut down my ministry for a period of time. i went to my pond, got in the boat with just my little dog, and spent about an hour and a half crying out to and at God about how i was hurting and questioning His will at this time. i cried and prayed and ranted and raved, and when i was finished, i heard a voice speak to me. simply--"MY grace is sufficient for you!!" unless my dog learned how to talk, it was an audible voice from God. my direction in life, my ministry to others, and my personal walk with God have all changed since then. ifelt i was in God's will before, and feel that i am now in God's will, but the directions are quite different from each other. i, at times, questioned my earthly father, so why would you not question your Heavenly Father? i believe that His will for you can be influenced by your prayer and response to His words to you. an interactive relationship is not beyond reason, and therefore, needs to be guided thru conversation, which questions are a part of---bill

Well, my perspective on this is that if "why?" is eating my lunch then I give it to the Lord in prayer. Likewise , any emotion or desire of my heart . . .if it's an over-riding thing in my mind I let God know. All the negative things . . .I fear, I hate, I want revenge, I want, I don't want. I believe in giving it all to God, after all David did. I have found that the Lord will either let me know why or make "why" unimportant. I have found that He will calm my fears and give me the strength to stand. I have found that if I put my anger or desire for revenge at His feet then it is disapated by His holiness. Jesus Christ is our all in all and there's nothing that we need to . .or can keep from Him. What I want or don't want in the present does'nt matter when I surrender my life and submit mywill for my life to His will for my life.
