LESSON 6: FIGHT WITH GOD IF YOU MUST
As someone that grew up from a firm Christian home, fighting with God or questioning Him seemed like an abomination but, when I lost my brother, mother and niece, I had a ton of questions and doubts.
Some of these questions include:
– Why did God take them now?
– Why were my prayers for their healing (in the case of Mama and Praise) unanswered?
– Why were my prayer and fasting for there return not heard especially since Jesus brought Lazarus back to his sisters.
– If God’s plan for us are those of good and not of evil, how was dying at a young age a good thing?
These questions and many others kept resounding in my mind so I had a full blown fight with God and expressed all my anger to Him through prayers and a written letter 😅
I remember at some points, I was so vexed that I lost interest in praying, studying the Bible and attending any Church function. It was a time of deep questions and introspection about my faith and trying to understand if there was any point in remaining a Christian when God seemed uninterested in my pain.
Somehow, these experiences led me to answers and grew my faith in ways I didn’t expect.
