why, God?

With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter.

- 2 Thessalonians 2:15

Our faithful and compassionate God allows us to ask any question we want no matter how difficult. - Laura Story

Oh friends . . . the last few weeks there have been so many things happen, things that have us questioning our faith, asking why, God?

Here is a new song I recently heard by Austin French:

Why God

Do people have to die?

A daughter or a son

Sudden and so young

Long before their time?

Why God

Do people fall apart?

A promise and a ring

Becomes a broken thing

A road that got too hard?

I don't understand

But I understand

Why God, I need You

It's, why God, I run to Your arms

Over and over again

It's, why God, I cling to Your love

And hold on for dear life

And I find, You are right by my side

Why God

Do we feel so alone?

Every single day

Fighting through the pain

Hoping there is hope?

I don't understand

But I understand

Why God, I need You

It's, why God, I run to Your arms

Over and over again

It's why God, I cling to Your love

And hold on for dear life

And I find, You are right by my side, ooh...

Give me a faith stronger than I have

I need to know when it hurts this bad

That You hold my heart when it breaks

And I'm not alone in this place

That's why God, I need You

Why God, I run to Your arms

Over and over again

It's, why God, I cling to Your love

And hold on for dear life

And I find, You are right by my side

Always right by my side

Even here in the why... God

The thing is, crazy stuff happens.

People hurt.

We hurt.

But we have to stay strong.

We can ask God why, He lets us do that.

He may not answer right away, we may not understand, but we cannot stop believing, we cannot lose our faith.

Ever.

Stand firm and keep a strong grip on that which you know.
