God let me talk to you

Jeremiah speaks to God and says, "You are righteous but let me talk with you about your judgments. Why do the wicked prosper and why are all the treacherous happy? he asks of God.

We also should take time to seek God and ask, "I need to talk to you." I know you are always right but I’m not sure you’re aware of what’s going on down here, especially to me! Lord, why does wickedness exist?  Why do good people get hurt? Why isn’t life fair?

You you should talk to God, even question God, but as you do, please understand that He is probably not going to answer you in the way you want or expect.

We want God to explain the workings of the universe from before time began until it ends and we don’t want it to be too complicated or take longer than 10 minutes to explain.
God can’t give us that kind of answer. First, because it makes God subservient to us and second because we couldn’t understand the answer even if he did tell us.
It’s like trying to have someone explain quantum physics as opposed to the chaos theory but to keep it under 200 words and make sure it has a music video.

God, because he loves us and know us, is going to give us the answer we need.  It will be the right answer and it will be the answer he knows not only can we handle but will challenge us to go on.

The Confederate Soldier Prayer
(Found in the uniform of a dead confederate soldier after battle.)

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve
I was made weak, that I might learn to humbly obey
I asked for health, that I might do greater things
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things
I asked for riches, that I might be happy
I was given poverty, that I might be wise
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things
I got nothing that I asked for but everything that I needed.
