Life is full of ups and downs. Sometimes, things happen that we don't understand and that shake our faith. We pray for things, believing God will answer, but sometimes the answer isn't what we hoped for. This can lead to disappointment and even make us question God's love.
Psalms 22:1 expresses this feeling eloquently: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" This verse resonates with those who feel abandoned in their struggles, questioning the divine plan.

It's important to remember that God's ways are not our ways.
The Bible tells us, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8-9)
We may not always understand why things happen, but we can trust that God has a plan, even when it hurts.

Despite the challenges that erode faith, there is solace in the words of Romans 8:28: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." This verse provides reassurance that even in the face of adversity, there is a higher purpose at play.
