Why?

August 15, 2007 journal entry

Why? Why do You take? Why do You let us wither away? Murderers, criminals, evil manipulators; and You take a child? Why? Why do You bring life only to take it away so quickly? Why do You give us hope and then bring on pain? Why are some people here 100 years while others never open their eyes at all? God, why do you take? I want to know why. I want to know how this day will make me want to wake up in the morning. God, I just need to know. I need to know this will be all right. So why do You do it? I just want to know why I'm feeling this way, God, when I know You're there. I just pray these words tonight. I can't save her, Lord. I just pray these words.

I am weeping with you, JB. I don't understand either. I can only pray that even without answers God gives you the strength to get through one moment at a time.
