It’s not for us to question. But I can’t help but wonder sometimes if the devil is amongst us creating these tragic situations……🙏🙏🙏

I have no doubt he is involved. The Bible is clear that we are not fighting flesh and blood… One day it will be over.🙏🙌

You've written so much of what I've been feeling too lately. Thank you. And congrats on 31 days of reading the Bible. I read (along with my Sunday school class) the entire Bible chronologically last year. It was so interesting!

Thanks for sharing your heart. When I read in Ephesians 5 that "everything exposed by the light becomes visible, and everything that is illuminated becomes light", then the Spirit tells me that everything will eventually be ok.. regardless of how things appear now. But this one thing I do know. We serve a kind and loving heavenly Father. His Word says He is touched by our afflictions, and it is my firm belief that His desire for His children is to lay down all our fears and anxieties and trust He will deliver us in due time because of His loving kindness.. (Gal. 6:9)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. This too has been weighing heavy on my heart. I know not ever to question God’s plan…why do these tragic events happen to good people, innocent children, God’s children? It’s not for me to know. He is good and just, and His mercies are new everyday. Part of me asks why couldn’t this been prevented by the hand of God?! I pray, Lord please help my unbelief. As I was reading your post, it hit me hard tears streaming down my face, I’m not the only one who feels this way. Yet, I know we walk by faith and by sight. I pray, drawing deeper into His word will bring peace to my heart. Thank you Meredith for being so genuine with sharing what God has placed upon your heart!
