Sometimes God’s plan doesn’t make sense. At times God appears bad, even though he tells us he is good. At times it is hard to live in the tension of what God has promised and what he has brought our way. There are passages in life when we live with more mystery than clarity. We all face times when we cry out for answers that we’ll never get but that seem impossible to live without. Painful times come when we cry, “Why?” “If only _____,” or “How long?”
