We ask why a lot in life, especially when trials and problems fiercely slap us in the face. We look to heaven and ask God, “Why does life trouble us? Why us? Why me?” We focus on the classic question of why bad things happen to good people.
Life is full of why’s. Why did I make that mistake? Why did I lose that job? Why did my loved one have to die?
What if we change our why’s to praise, to acceptance and real faith, and we acknowledge that God is in control of our past, present, and future? He is the author and finisher of our faith.

Amen! Thank you for this great reminder, Mary. His purposes are so good, even when we cannot understand all of the whys. He is so worthy of our praise. Blessings to you as you go forward with the 31day challenge!
What if we changed our whys to praise…..that’ll sit with me for a long time!
He is the author and finisher of our faith. Thank you for the reminder of truth Ineed to cling to on hard days. I hope you have a lovely day.
