Just recently, my beloved dog was hit by a car & died. He was only 4 years old. Every morning & evening, I would thank God for bringing him into my life for all the joy he brought to me & my husband.
So why would God take away something that I verbally thanked him for everyday? What is his plan for me? he was too young to die.

I'm sorry your dog was killed. But God didn't "take him away." That was done by the driver of the car who chose to drive erratically, too fast or whatever. If your dog was running loose, the driver may have been unable to avoid it, if it suddenly ran out into the road.
I sincerely hope you find a new furry friend to love, and that you always make sure he is on a leash or tied when he's out, so this can't happen again.

Sometimes when bad things happen I remember that the apostles were distraught after the crucifixion, only to eventually learn that when all seems lost God has a way of putting it right again. We can't answer the details, we can only live this life which is full of loss in one way or another, and we just accept it in faith and live for a better world to come, with trust.

I am sorry for your loss. There is nothing tougher than loosing a close friend, whether it is an animal or a person.
I wouldn't over think the will of God. People have been arguing over that for 6000 years at least, and we still haven't been blessed with any indication either way.
Wondering whether God is to blame will only lead you to get angry at something/someone you have no recourse with, whether he exists or not.

Sometimes you don't know why things happen in your life........maybe you will discover the answer in the future. My mom had a friend with cancer come stay with us back in 1996. We helped care for her and were all there when she passed away. I was not sure what my role was in this but just a few months ago.......a friend of mine developed cancer and I was there for her during her last days. I knew what to expect and was able to be strong for her.....Maybe you will experience something similar.

I'm sorry about your dog.....Sometimes it is hard to understand why things happen. God loves you and the bible says he sees even when every sparrow falls. So he knows what happened to your dog and is sad that you are hurting. Go to him for the comfort you seek. God Bless.
Don't listen to Dana. She is either being sarcastic and mocking your grief or she's friggin crazy.

No one on this website can answer that for you. Only he knows his plan for you, you do not question why he does things, you just believe in him. He takes babies everyday, there is a reason, and you won't get it on Yahoo.

uh, because God DIDN'T take your dog. The only thing responsible for killing your dog is that car.

" What is his plan for me? "
This is where you get on your knees and seek God's face. Be persistant about it. Keep praying till you get your answer.
