When hard things happen...

When hard things happen, most people ask God why. How strange it is that before the problem arose, they hardly ever spoke to Him. Never told Him anything. Not how they were feeling, what made them happy or upset or even asked Him for anything. 
Yet, when the hard thing happens, they ask. It is a personal thing to ask someone why they do something. Imagine asking your teacher why she gave you a bad mark for that essay you thought was quite good. Wouldn't you say you would have to know her quite well before asking such a question?  

Yet, without knowing the Heavenly Father at all, you ask and even demand why certain things turn out the way they do. If you walk with Him, you can talk with Him and He will tell you everything you need to know. Jesus said to His disciples that He called them friends and told them everything His Father had told Him.
If you have walked with Him all along and that hard thing happens, you will know that He is with you always. You will know that He has measured that thing exactly for you and that He is helping you all along to carry it. And you will know that as the two of you walk, He will reveal His reasons to you at just the right time.
