This is a not a why.
Not a why-did-it-happen.
Not a why-did-You-let-it-happen.
This is not a why because You are teaching the why does not help me understand. The why does not help me accept. The why does not make it better.
So the why does not matter.
So what matters? The Who. The You.
You are good. You are kind. You love me. You never fail. You are strong. You are able. You are perfect. In You, all things consist.
No earthly reason will ever make me feel better, because I will always wonder why You did not just snap Your fingers and make that reason cease to exist.
The only reason I am rising above this, Lord, is because I don't have to ask why anymore.
It is because You are good. You are kind. You know all. You love me. You love her. You love him. You love us. You are strong. You are perfect. In You, all things consist.
And if we prayed and nothing happened, it is not because You are waiting for us to utter some magic words and we haven't.
It is because You are good. You are kind. You know all. You are in control. You are in charge. You love me. You care. You are All.
And if it makes no sense and it doesn't seem good, I know that
You are good. You are kind.
My soul will repeat these till I see You.
And maybe then I will know the why for every situation I hated. And even if I don't,
You are still good. You are still kind. You are still perfect. You still love me - more than I can ever know. You still love us - more than we can ever comprehend. You are still God.
