Your Question:
why did god let me lose my business?
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're struggling with a question that has puzzled many of us. Why did God let you lose your business? As a pastor, I've seen many people face similar challenges, and I've come to understand that God's ways are not always our ways. He can take away something from us, just as He can give it to us. The Bible says, "The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." (Job 1:21) It's not about us understanding why, but about trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty. As I reflect on my own life, I've come to realize that God's purpose is not always to give us success or prosperity, but to refine us and make us more like Him. He can use trials and challenges to teach us valuable lessons and to draw us closer to Himself. It's not about us being worthy or unworthy, but about God's desire to have a relationship with us. As the psalmist says, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18) So, even in the midst of loss, we can find comfort in God's presence and guidance. In my own life, I've experienced my share of setbacks and failures. But through it all, I've learned to trust in God's goodness and sovereignty. I've come to understand that He's not limited by our circumstances, but is always working to bring about His purposes. As the Bible says, "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28) So, my friend, I encourage you to trust in God's goodness and to see the trial as an opportunity to grow and deepen your relationship with Him.
