Your Question:
why me god? why do i have to suffer like this?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the pain and frustration in your words. I've walked with the Lord for 19 years now, and I've seen His goodness and love in the midst of suffering. It's easy to get angry and question why we have to go through difficult times, but I've come to understand that our suffering can be a catalyst for growth, for knowledge, and for trust in God. You see, God doesn't cause our suffering, but He can use it for our good. He's a loving Father who wants to share in our struggles and help us overcome them. Just like Jesus, who suffered for our sins, God suffers with us, and that's what gives us hope. It's not about us jumping through hoops for God's sake, but about us trusting Him, even when we don't understand why we're going through a particular trial. As I read through the scriptures and reflect on my own experiences, I've come to realize that our suffering can be a means of drawing us closer to God. It's a reminder that our lives belong to Him, and that He's working out His will in us, even when we can't see it. So, I encourage you to trust God, not just in your times of joy, but in your times of suffering as well. He's a good and loving Father, and He's working everything out for your good.
