Why did God let my
Answer:
I can relate to your question about why God allowed you to break your foot. As a pastor, I've had conversations with people about why God allows suffering and hardship in our lives. It's a question that can be puzzling, especially when we feel like God could have intervened to prevent it. One way to look at it is to ask ourselves why we were acting in a certain way that led to the injury. Were we being careless or reckless? Were we not paying attention to our surroundings? By examining our own actions and motivations, we can begin to understand why God may not have intervened. It's not that God is absent or unloving, but rather that He wants us to recognize our own nature and take responsibility for our actions. In the same way, when Jesus was on the cross, He asked, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46). It's a cry of abandonment and despair, but it's also a reflection on the weight of the sins He was bearing on behalf of humanity. He knew that He was taking on the suffering and pain of others, and that it was a necessary part of His mission. Similarly, when we're experiencing hardship or suffering, we can ask ourselves what we can learn from it, and how we can use it to grow and become more like Christ.
