The Reason Why

Dear God we don't understand the reasons why but we know You know what it is to hurt and we cannot see the answer but we know there is purpose in this life and we know who holds the answer. If we know you intimately, we know that we are your prized possessions and you care for us so deeply that sometimes Your care is misunderstood by those looking in. For you use the hurt in this life to get our attention and to help us focus. For we’ve seen those who were dead (spiritually) walk in the land of the living, a place even many “living” never see all because You allowed them to go through trouble in this life. In the end we know your goal is not our comfort but our growth and preparation for the eternal You have planned. Even still we want to thank you for answering prayers tonight, only You are good and only You are worthy of all praise.
