A New Appreciation
If you have gained a new appreciation for
why God allowed the suffering we experience in our world, here is one possible
prayer of response to Him:
"God, I've misjudged you and even used the suffering in our world as
an argument against Your very existence as a God of love. I still
don't understand it all, but I can see that the great struggle between
good and evil is not so simple as I may have once thought, and that by
allowing it to exist You may have been doing the most loving thing in the
long run. I thank You for not making us robots who had no choice
of how we would respond to You or to each other. I ask You to come
into my life and teach me more about You and about Your plan for my life.
Help me to learn how to trust You, even when I suffer. And teach
me to walk in Your ways. Amen."
