When God Doesn’t Make Sense

12/28/24 When God Doesn’t Make Sense 1917

Since God is good and all-powerful, why does He allow terrible things to happen to people? Why is God silent when I am hurting? How do you handle unanswered prayers? Dr James Dobson, author of When God Doesn’t Make Sense – Holding Onto Your Faith in the Toughest Times, tells how broken he was by seeing his 3 year old son Ryan suffer during a medical procedure. So too, God the Father suffered watching Jesus on the cross. Jesus weeping with Mary and Martha over the death of Lazarus shows how God suffers with us. Jesus demonstrated His power over death by raising his dead friend Lazarus back to life.
