when was the last time you ask God the question "why?"

August 28, 2011 1:48am CST
I know there are days that we feel hopeless and ask a miracle. the last time I ask God why was when my aunt died and left us. she is a good person and she serve to God so many years. and I ask God why? why my aunt? there are a lot of people who doesn't care about you, who doesn't know how to pray, who doesn't attend mass regularly. there are a lot of criminals out there, sinners. I know it's kinda selfish for others.but I think during that time its hard for me to accept the fact that my aunt is gone..

It's very sad to lose a loved one and very hard on the family friends. I also asked god why when i lost my partner who was a hard working honest good man. It's horrible to know that life can be taken from us in a second and we will morn it for life. I do believe that everything happens for a reason, although sometimes there must be more to it than it seems. I don't think it's fair the way god choses his soilders.

I'm sorry to hear it Everyone will not willingly and feel unfair when abandoned by loved ones. But that's destiny, when the time has come, people would have had to die. Not unless she's a good or bad person, all will die

Last night. I was remembering my uncle and asked God why he had to die so young. He battled cancer for so long and passed away a few years ago. He like your aunt served God for all his life and was the prime example of a Godly man, forgiving, caring, serving and so much more. I miss him greatly.

I asked that question just last week while watching a documentary on street dwellers here in the Philippines. Why are those families unable to crawl out of poverty? Why can't they find enough opportunities to make their lives better? How come little children have to sleep on dirty alleys every night and eat food from trash cans? :( I can only do so much as an individual. Even if I'd like to help uplift the lives of all the poor people I see every day, I can't. So I do the best way I know how. I sponsored one child through a organization that sends poor kids to school through monthly donations. That way, I could help change at least one poor child's life and that of his family's as well.

hi, yes life is very hard here. If I have more money just to adopt street children and help them to have a better life. have a good education that they can use it in their future. let's just continue praying them and our country. that's the best thing we can offer to them. :)

We all at some point of time feel like god is unfair and injustice taking away people whom we love and sometimes even in desperate situation we asks god why you are doing this, i cant seem to think when i asked the question to god, we humans are selfish and we want more, when we loose something that is very important we understand the importance of that thing, i think we shouldn't even blame god for god is true and justice he has his reasons that are right and who are we to question as his creation. what happens is always for good and will be too accept the truth and go on living life as it is.

I look at life with a positive attitude ,that certian things happen to certain people. I have my cross to carry with what's planned for me to go through and to experience in my road of life. I always try to see the bright side od everything. However I have days, when I have obstacles to overcome in one way or another. There are times when I let go of the reality for a time to rest up to regain strength and courage to find the motivation to carry on living.

I asked God "why" several times before. There are times that we will be going through hardships and we can't avoid these. Those are the times when people start to ask God why these are happening to them. I think we should never lose faith in Him and look at these things as challenges that we should ovecome.
