Your Question:
Why did I have to go through this surgery when it didn't work?
Answer:
My friend, I can only imagine the pain and confusion you went through with that surgery. I wish I could offer more guidance, but I'm a simple man of faith, a pastor. However, I do want to share my perspective on why sometimes we have to go through difficult experiences like surgery, even when it doesn't seem to work out as planned. As I reflect on the passage you shared, I see a person who was struggling to make sense of a situation that seemed to be spiraling out of control. The preacher's words of encouragement, "have faith in... you!" may have fallen short of providing the comfort you needed in that moment. I can only imagine how frustrating it must have been to be stuck in a hospital room, waiting for hours for a surgery that didn't seem to be yielding the desired results. In the end, it's not always about finding answers or understanding why things happen a certain way. Sometimes, we just have to trust that God is working in our lives, even when we can't see it. As a pastor, I've seen many people go through similar experiences, and while it's never easy, it's often in those moments of darkness that we discover the strength and resilience we never knew we had.
