It must be very difficult to be God.
I was taught that God is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, all-knowing.
But sometimes it crosses my mind.
There are so many people and numerous varied problems.
Wouldn't He get tired of listening to us all at the same time?
When beset with troubles,
I would think that God is busy attending someone else's problems.
Or maybe He has some more pressing concerns to look after.
Or He needs to concentrate on much bigger and complicated predicaments.
Then a dear friend told me,
God even asks for it,
For our disturbances
Because He wants us to keep praying, not minding time and space.
Who then gives us problems?
The devil I sensed, quickly he replied.
The Father of all confusion.
Why won't God just eradicate the devil?
In His time it will be done.
Will I be punished like Zacharias for not having a strong faith?
For questioning things?
No, was the response.
He will bring you nearer, His loving daughter and strengthen you.
I continued.
Was there a time in your life that you questioned God?
That your faith dwindled?
Yes. When I lost my bosom friend in a car crash,
As he returned from raising funds for Christian program.
Whatever problem you have, name it.
Time will solve it. Wait on God.
I always feel very close to God since the very first time I learned how to pray.
There's this feeling that He has always favored me all throughout.
And I am endlessly grateful.
Like my friend, my faith was tested.
At one time, in a not so distant past.
And I feel very ashamed.
I don't have the right to question.
When happiness abounds, I did not question.
So must I
When in deep trouble.
Then I remembered Job.
My queries were silenced.
