An honest plea:
Why doesn't God do something? I'm having a hard time with the usual, "He works in ways you can't see/He alone knows what's best/in His time" stuff. Sometimes, when I feel really angry about something that seems so obviously wrong, it seems like those are just cop-out statements. When something goes right, we say that's God at work. When something goes wrong, we say God's still at work, we just can't see it. I know it sounds horrible, but some days that kind of talk sounds like a rationalization, and I really wonder if he's abandoned me or is punishing me.
My answer: God is all we have.
