Have you ever questioned God? You’re not alone. Sometimes life circumstances will take you there. I recall a time I questioned God when my Ex moved on so quickly after he broke up with me and then had the audacity to get married. I questioned God because I felt like, why should he be able to move on so quickly and get married before me? I felt like I should be first, since he’s the one who broke up with me.  Petty much? I was.

I was a petty Christian who threw a tantrum before God when I went in my prayer closet because I couldn’t wrap my head around the grace that was given to my Ex, It took a long time for me to get over it. One day, while alone, not in my prayer closet, just alone with my thoughts, and these thoughts came to me in regards to my Ex, actually I believe it was God opening my eyes. If the shoe was on the other foot, I would want the same grace that my Ex was given because the reality is, that no one perfect, people make mistakes, still have areas they need to grow in and etc. So who was I to say, my Ex don’t deserve grace, when I know, I would want grace?

Furthermore, questioning God happens to the best of us. It doesn’t mean you’re not a Christian. However, we can’t allow our questioning God, compel us to walk away from our relationship with God. God word says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. -Jeremiah 29:11 God simply knows what’s best for everyone.
