None of us like to suffer. . .
and we may say,
"God, I don't like it. I don't understand why."We may argue with Him, tell Him exactly how we feel. Just let Him know,
"Father, I don't like anything about this. I feel it's unfair, it's unjust."Go ahead and tell Him. Open up your heart. He fully understands.
It's okay to cry. . .
It's natural to weep. Tell God:
"I'm weak. I failed."
Confess to Him,
"I've sinned."
He understands when you say,
"God, I just can't handle some things."
Never think, "Christians don't cry." Remember, Jesus cried.
Never say,
"Christians can't show weakness."
Paul said,
"When I feel as if the bottom has droppe out and I don't feel one ounce of energy, strength, or resistance within me, then I experience the mighty grace of my almighty God."
(2 Corinthians 12:9, paraphrase)
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
God is in everything:
even the things in life that we do not like,
even the things in life that cause us pain.
Because you're a child of God, He holds every circumstance in His hand.
You see, the heart of man is in the hand of God, and like the waters He turns it whithersoever He will.
(Proverbs 21:1, paraphrase)
The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
