If God Had A Phone....

Sometimes I wish God had a phone. I wish there was a way to ask Him questions and get direct answers. This week, a precious 5 year old boy with brain cancer was called home to Heaven. It's hard to grasp why God would let that happen. So, so many people were praying for him, and even more were affected by his death. I would love to ask God why He would do that. That precious child, God's own son had a whole life ahead of him.

I would ask God why there is so much violence, so much war, so much hate, and so much negativity in our world today. Every day the news has stories of murder, terrorist attacks, violence, and very negative news. It's just not fun to see.

I would ask God why the worst things happen to the best people. I've seen so much bad news this week; people dying from cancer, people ending up with things they don't deserve, or need, and people very broken from bad in this world.

And it's hard. It's hard to understand the bad in the world. It's hard to comprehend God's will, and His answers to my questions. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling that way. I'm sure many people wish God had a direct line. I pray, and ask Him things, but God does not always answer directly. Sometimes His timing is very slow, other times not. Sometimes I wish things were easier to understand. If God had a phone, a direct line to get quick answers, maybe they would be easier to understand. For now, I'm just trusting in Him, and in His plan for this world.
