I woke up this morning mad. I had to get up at 6 am for
workouts. I asked God, "Why do I have to get up so
early? I just want to go back to sleep." No answer. Later
that day, I got into an argument with one of my friends. I
asked God, "Why did you allow us to get into such a bad
fight?" No answer. Then I got a call and learned that a
close family member of mine passed away. I asked God,
"Why do you take the people I cherish the most out of my
life?" No answer. As I was driving home that evening I
got a flat tire. Angry, I pulled off to the side of the road,
and asked God, "Why do all of these bad things keep
happening to me?" No answer. When I got home, I sat
down, mad as ever before, and pleaded out, "God, please,
where are you when I need you? Why do bad things keep
happening to me?" God then spoke to me. He said, "Even
though you may not see me, I have been by your side this
entire time. Having faith is not seeing, but believing in
what you cannot see. I woke you up early this morning
because I know the dreams you have. Sleep brings
poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. You and
your friend got into a fight because a man of many
companions may come to ruin, but a real friend sticks
closer than a brother. He was going to betray you next
week. Your grandfather who died? It was time for him to
be free of pain, and I needed another angel to help watch
over you. I made your tire flat because there was a drunk
driver on the road, and I wanted to make sure the roads
were safe." I didn't know what to say. God then said,
"Say nothing, for I need no apology. Do not doubt me or
second-guess my judgment. for everything I do has a
reason. I am with you at all times; I will never fail or
leave you. My love for you is unimaginable."
