When our life is not going the way we planned, we use words like disturbing, unsettled or chaotic. The question we all tend to ask is “why?” After we ask why for a while and the situation doesn’t improve, we tend to add to the question… “why, God?” This usually leads us to one of three age-old theories. 1) God must be angry. 2) He didn’t stop it because he cant. 3) He just doesn’t really care about me.
