Why Did God Let It Happen?

Have you seen God use a painful part of your story for good?

I just lost my mom one month ago due to cancer. She died 4 days after I turned 16. Throughout her battle with cancer I’d cry out “why” lots of times. She was the kindest and selfless person. She was loved by everyone. She served God her whole life and loved him with all her heart. She suffer too much in life and then got cancer. She was the last person expected to get cancer because she was so healthy. I still cry out why many times. When she passed away I was angry at God and refused to talk to him for a whole month. When my mom was getting worse I drifted away from God and drifted even more after she passed. I wanted answers and so I looked up on YouTube. And saw this video and decided to listen. I started to tear up while listening. I would like you to pray for me. I’m trying my best to get back to God.

I cried and asked God “why” plenty of times when my ex husband left us. My marriage was shattered and I felt so confused. But God knew there was something and someone better for me. God found me and healed me and now I’m happily married to my husband that loves me and cherishes me! Something I never had before. God knew my pain and suffering had a beautiful ending. Thank you God for never leaving me in my time of suffering and giving my love and happiness that I never would have imaged. Amen

God help us pleaseeeeeeee 😪😪😪😪😪 I am trusting God He heals my son and makes him beautiful again and have a testimony from God to help and tell others!

His 2 brothers will have their brother back....thank you Lord..I cant wait but I'm watching the process every step you make Lord!!!!

I survived my suicide attempt but was paralyzed when I was 18. I became a Christian after. Though the physical and mental suffering were intense, now that I look back, God used that experience to let me see him and feel his existence. And being a Christian is the best blessing in my life, I am glad that my experience led me to God and all my suffering is worth it.

Please pray for me…what a time for this message to enter my life!

My dad passed away from pancreatic cancer June 15. He never was sick. One day he called. Me he had cancer. He was never ever why me. Never complained. He told me it God's plan. He knew his relationship with god was great. He had faith in the lord until the end. He prayed for us rather then what pain he was going threw. He was brutal pain but he always talked about God and faith that we need. I miss you dad but I know where you at

“the presence of pain, isn’t a lack of love” 💛

I am surrendering my life to Jesus. Thank you for lifting me up!

Just last week I was contemplating suicide. Today tears are running down my face because of God's unending grace and love...thank you, Jesus

I was physically, mentally and sexually abused by my step dad. We need to forgive those that have wronged us because it's not for the person that hurt you but for you. God gives the strength to forgive.

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:18‬ ‭NIV‬ 🙏

I spent the entire day yesterday crying and asking these very questions..even wrote them down in my diary...word for word..I was just in such a negative space. Woke up today and repented and boom this video. Thank you God for answering my questions today. He is always on time isn't He! Please pray for me as I really do want to make God proud and live with the confidence that God is good ALL the time and He loves me unconditionally.

I am a cancer patient with terrible insomnia. This is often the only thing that relaxes me from thinking of my own problems and focusing on God, so I can fall back asleep. Thank you!

My 19 year old son just passed away, and I am truly broken. But I will say this. God is still good. God is still faithful. I will see my son again. Because Jesus.

I’ve had a few “do you even exist” “are you even listening “ moments. Wondering why God isn’t just removing the pain and feeling of sadness. He spoke to me through different people and the advice received I kept on turning from it and making decisions based on my own understanding that ended up hurting myself and hurting others. I kept asking Jesus why. I’ve asked so many times to help me trust him in forgiving myself and trusting I can let myself move on from my dark past. Every day I still feel like I need to dwell in my past and bring it up to the ones i’ve hurt. I’m starting to realize that Jesus challenges me and wants me to work on my faith without me expecting for him to snap his fingers and make me instantly believe in him. I see my past hidden mistakes in a negative perspective such as “I got away with it” or “I need to tell everything to everyone i’ve ever done wrong”. Whereas Jesus has been saying that he doesn’t even remember my sins & I am allowed to be set free and not dwell in the past regardless if my mistakes are known or not to others as long as I have confessed them to him. He also doesn’t expect me to remember every single sin/nor he doesn’t want me to try to and dig deep in my past and try to figure out what else i’ve done wrong. Jesus loves me. Whenever I get a voice in my head or a tight chest with these negative thoughts, God’s word, every scripture, says the complete opposite of what I’m thinking. And it makes me confused and makes me overwhelmed. Trusting in God and allowing myself to be set free and having that faith that he wants me to let go of my past, is extremely difficult. But Jesus loves me and I will continue to fight to make sure I don’t listen to the enemy to trick me into hurting others. I’m surrendering my life to Jesus!

I really needed to listen and find this video I recently just lost my husband who was only 25 years old and I am 23 we've been together for six years and he was killed in a car accident before Christmas while at work. Losing him has really tested my face and has pulled me I've always been Christian and grew up Christian. I asked God why I lost my husband and I've been watching this crying I really want to get back closer to God and I know that my husband is in beautiful heaven and that one day I'll be with him again. I am staying strong for our beautiful doggies and our house and living each day knowing that I will be with him one day again but it's so hard I continue to read the Bible and pray and talk to my husband I just really needed to come across this video and see this I needed this just thank you for this beautiful words.😭❤️

Dear Pastor Craig, I lost my little brother last month. It was 2 days to his 14th birthday. He had been battling a terrible blood disease since April and I really prayed he would be well. I had been very angry with everything. I hadn't prayed or studied and I didn't feel like attending church anymore. I had so many questions. Today, for the first time in months, I just visited your channel (actually, it was by accident even as I am a subscriber) and I saw your sermon. I was almost moved to tears listening to you preach, and I think I'm ready to allow God to heal me. I really don't see how this can work out for good in any way, but I choose to trust that God loves me no matter what. I rededicated my life to Jesus once again today, and please Pastor Craig, pray for me. I need to stay in faith. Thank you for your teaching. God bless you sir.
