God Does Not Send Pain and Suffering!
God does not cause suffering. Rather, Jesus reveals a loving God who brings healing and light, not punishment. Suffering is not God's divine retribution. Believing in a compassionate God challenges harmful theology. In suffering, we are invited to reject images of a vengeful deity and trust in Christ’s healing, non-violent presence.
What gave you consolation when you were hit with the “where the hell is God?” moment?
Dear God, we thank You for revealing Your love through Jesus Christ, who shows us that You are a God of healing and light. Help us to reject any notions of a vengeful deity and instead trust in Your compassion and mercy, especially in times of suffering. May we find comfort in Christ's presence, knowing that You are with us, bringing peace, not punishment. Strengthen our hearts to embrace Your love, and guide us toward healing and hope Amen.
