_________________ Why? _______________?

Question

God, please explain to me why I am in so much pain. It hurts so much.

The paradox we live in is my pain. The suffering of a thousand innocent children shoved in a dark chamber to die is my pain. When an unfaithful wife cheats on her husband is my pain. When a child is forced to view the world as it is, and accept the answers being spoon fed to it, even if they are the wrong answers. But what is a wrong answer? Everything has it's purpose.

So has my pain, which now has passed. When I posted the question, I was astounded as to the amount of replies I received, and so quickly - it was almost instant.

I will do gods work and follow my morals to the best of my ability. When I faulter, I will pick myself up, learn from my mistakes, and move on, if god allows me to.

I'm am not a religious person by nature - or at least I wasn't before a few months ago.

God has a strange way of doing things... Sometimes I feel god and the devil are one being, and the two play games with each other.

In the end, I hope to have a good laugh & continue, as, there is no end.

Answer 1

I have been through a couple of tough breakups, and during those times Scripture was a great consolation. God wants us to remember that even when we know nothing about our future, "The Lord is trustworthy in every word, and faithful in every work" (Ps. 145:13). The Lord's timing is perfect, and his will is your refuge. His plan will be clear in time, so be still and know that he is God, that he is faithful, and that he knows exactly what he is doing. "The works of the Lord are all good, and he will supply every need in its hour. And no one can say, 'This is worse than that,' for all things will prove good in their season. So now sing praise with all your heart and voice, and bless the name of the Lord" (Sir. 39:33�35).

It is natural to feel a painful sense of loss during this time, but in the midst of this suffering, do not lose your peace. In the words of St. Paul, "Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (1 Thess. 5:16�18). The prophet Nehemiah advises, "Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength" (Neh. 8:10).

Although rejoicing may be the last thing on your mind right now, God deserves our thanks just as much when times are bad as when everything goes our way. One of the most beautiful forms of praise to God is when we thank him for his providence before we see it unfold. After all, is he less of a good God when we can not understand his ways?

So take this time to draw closer to God and rest in him. As Psalm 62 says, "My soul rests in God alone" (Psalm 62:1). The more our peace depends on human beings, the more we will realize that another human being can never satisfy us. I sometimes imagine a little throne on top of the human heart, and we get to decide who sits there. We often place people there, and if things go well with them, life is beautiful. When things go wrong, and they do not return affection, or say just the right thing, then we lose our peace. Only God deserves to sit on this throne, and only he can hold it in peace.

This is not to say that once we put him there, nothing affects us. Trusting him does not mean that we will never have feelings of hurt or confusion. It simply means that in the midst of the storm, we remain at peace even when it seems like Jesus is asleep (see Mark 4:35�41). Now is a good time to make sure that all is in order in your life and that doing God's will is your number one priority. Sometimes we are so anxious about our relationships with others that we forget that the most important relationship in our lives must be our friendship with God. Pray that you may be single-hearted for the Lord as King David was.

Also, know that your suffering is not in vain. When you accept suffering, you can join it to the sufferings of Christ and offer it as a prayer. The apostle Paul said, "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church" (Col. 1:24). If you need a suggestion regarding what to offer your sufferings for, I would ask that you offer some of them as a prayer for all of the teens I speak to about chastity. You can save many souls through your suffering, although many people do not realize this. So suffer well, be still, and trust the Lord. As they say, "There are years that ask questions, and there are years that answer."

Answer 2

Because you allow it. Whatever it is that is causing you pain is going to make you stronger when you walk away from it. Whatever demon you have is going to stay as long as you welcome it in. You need to decide what you are going to do with it. Are you going to feed it? You going to dance with it? You going to discipline it? You going to make it realize you are the one with the power not it?
You didn't say what is causing the pain. Perhaps when you come back you can give more details.

You should go to urgent care or the emergency room. For emotional pain, time heals all wounds.
