We both have these hard and painful moments in our lives. Is it okay to ask God why?, when you are totally overwhelmed with pain and you feel like nothing makes sense in your life.

It is just fine to talk to God and ask why. He has said, 'come, let us reason together'. He is a good but stern Father. He always listens and has a soft spot for the downtrodden.

Thank you Justin

It's good to unburdened your heart to God in this way.

He may not answer, for various reasons of His own. Silence does not mean you have done anything wrong to ask.

The Psalms are full of questions for God, often the writer is in anguish. I recommend you re-read some of them.

Peace and blessings to you.

He may not answer you as you wish, but yes, by all means seek reasons and truth in your prayers. Just remember that His will and knowledge and purposes are always good and right, so not getting a clear answer, or the answer you want, should not lead you to doubting him. Ask him to give you the clarity, insight, and knowledge that you need to understand his will, and to give you the strength and faith to trust him until he chooses to give you that clarity, insight, and knowledge, and then glorify him and praise him when he does.

Yes, it is okay to ask why. However, that doesn't mean we would understand the answer. A first grader doesn't understand long division, and there are spiritual issues we don't understand, yet.

There is nothing wrong with asking why so you can better understand His actions in your life, but be ready to wait a long time before you see His reasons flourish before your eyes.  Not every answer comes through scripture or verbally, sometimes is comes from other means when you follow His way.

Our God is a loving Father; full of grace and compassion. You can safely ask Him whatever you like. And we can trust Him to provide us with whatever answer is in our best interest.

Look at my user name. The clay has no right to question the Potter, but I need to know if I'm so horrible, utterly wretched. I never got an answer but I feel God's love. His grace sustains me. Amen.
