Your Question:
Why did God let my husband die?
Answer:
I can understand why you're struggling with this question. As a pastor, I've had my share of counseling sessions with couples who've faced similar struggles. The truth is, God doesn't owe us an explanation for every circumstance in our lives. His ways are not our ways, and His timing is not always our timing (Isaiah 55:8-9). When it comes to your husband's passing, it's not for us to question God's sovereignty or motives. The Bible says there's a time to die, and we're not the ones who decide that (Ecclesiastes 3:2). We can pray for our loved ones' health, but ultimately, God determines the outcome. It's not about us trying to change the circumstances or take away the burden from our loved ones, but about trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty. As a husband and a pastor, I've learned that it's not about us trying to fix everything or make things right, but about surrendering to God's will and trusting in His goodness. In your grief, I want to encourage you to hold onto the hope that God is a loving Father who is always working for our good (Romans 8:28). Even in the midst of pain and uncertainty, we can trust that God is at work, refining and renewing us for His glory. As you grieve, I want to encourage you to hold onto the memories of your husband and the impact he had on your life. And when the darkness feels overwhelming, remember that God is always near, and His presence is a source of comfort and strength.
