Why...

Why…

“Why?” I cry.

“Why this?” “Why now?”

“Why me?”

“Can somebody answer me—why?”

“What did I do that I must go through—this?”

“Where did I err that this had to occur?”

“Wherefore did I miss?”

“Whyyyyyyy?”

—Silent Reflection—

“But then—I digress...”

“I confess—I know why.”

“It’s called—life.”

“While living life, stuff happens...”

“And yes, sometimes it happens to me.”

“But the God of all grace beholds my place.”

“Lord, You know my pain, You train my aim.”

“These troubles, these trials will only last a while.”

“And ultimately, You cause them to work for my good”

For that I cry, “God, You are faithful, worthy of my praise!”

“Me and my why’s are all wrapped up in your loving arms.”

“Hallelujah!” “Thank You Jesus!” “Bye-bye—why.”

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why

art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in

God: for I shall yet praise him, Who is the

health of my countenance, and my God.

Psalms 42:11
