Are you there, God? What are you planning? If you love us so much, why do we long for the things we have not yet received?
How can you say, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart,” and still seem silent? How can you place desires on our hearts—the resurrection of Christ, peace in Gaza, a boyfriend, a book deal—if we frequently face disappointment?
Why do things have to be this way?
Why do I constantly feel like this?
Why, God?
Why?
Why.
