The Wrong Question

With all the things going on around us, the terrorist attacks, the racial tensions, the political agendas, not to mention our own trials, troubles, tribulations we ourselves are going through, we may be asking "why is God letting this happen?" And we seem to never get an answer or we get an answer that just leaves more questions. Well, perhaps we are asking the wrong question. Perhaps instead of asking "why is God letting this happen" we really need to be asking "God, will you help me through this, will you help those families who have lost those in the attacks, will you help me weather my own storm, will you help me in the middle of this fight I am in?" Those are the questions really we need to be asking. By asking "Why is God letting this happen" we will never get an answer that brings peace and resolution. If you ask "God, will you help me?" you WILL get answer that brings peace and resolution. Reach out to Him in your storms, in your fights and in your battles, reach out to Him in those times where you don't understand the "why" and ask Him to help you. He will bring you peace.

I came across this song a few months ago, and it really touched my heart this morning, probably because of what happened in Nice, France. This song really should become our anthem...
