Then Job answered the LORD: "I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. 'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. 'Hear, and I will speak; I will question you, and you declare to me.' I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes."

Job 42:1-6

On this side of heaven we may not find answers to our desperate questions of why did this happen? We won't find the answers to, "Why me?" But we can rest in the truth that God is in control and that He loves us.

God does not have to answer our questions,

but He will always keep His promises.
