GOD: WHY?

In Psalms 22:1 The Psalmist says: My God My God, why have you abandoned me?
Why are you so far away when I groan for help?
Ever felt like that? Things did not go the way you thought they would. God, why are you doing this? I can;t stand this God, why are you allowing it to happen?
Think about how much Jesus suffered on the cross? He had the sins of the world both past and present yours and mine, all on his shoulders. Not to mention the physical pain He was suffering. Soldiers had poked Him into His side, they had put a crown of thorns on His head, and they had whipped and whipped him until He was almost dead. Then they NAILED Him to a cross where He suffered miserably. Think you problems are bad, still? Jesus asked God why this was being done to Him, He had doubt, He asked God where He was when He suffered most. Had His Father, God, Jehovah, abandoned Him? Had He turned His back on Jesus, His only Son? Yes, He had, because of the greater good.
Sometimes things don't work out the way we think they should. Sometimes things work out WAY BAD. Has God abandoned us? Yes it can feel like it, and sometimes He may have to turn His head when we call to Him, why? Because He knows the greater good. God, our Father loves us, so much He cannot watch us when we are hurting, He turns His head, like He had to with Jesus, He wants so bad to rescue us from the disaster we are in. But He cannot. He knows what is lying down the road. He knows what this action will accomplish. Can you imagine what would have happen if God rescued His Son, Jesus from the cross? No sacrifice , would have been made, no access to the throne through Jesus Name. Jesus name would have no power, the Law of the Old Testament would still be in effect. We would still be making animal sacrifices
Kinda puts things in perspective doesn't it?. Our problems are nothing to Him after what He went through.
Lord , I thank you for what you went through for me. I praise you because without that sacrifice, I would surely go to hell. I know you have my best interest in mind, and I know no matter what this world of sin has in store for me, You are the one who is in charge. Praise your name Father for suffering for me. There is NO WAY I could ever thank you enough.
I don't understand why certain happens, but I do know that you have it in your hands. I sometimes get mad at you for circumstances, but You are God, and you were man, and you understand my feelings. I will trust you, regardless of my circumstances.
There is NO ONE above you, there is NO ONE who does for me what you do. Thank you Lord.
I don't think we actually understand how much He loves us, and how much He suffered for us, so that we can be with Him.
