“God, why?” In times of crisis, people instinctively turn heavenward for answers. Even those who don’t believe in a Sovereign Being sometimes find themselves entreating a deity they do not know. We become desperate for answers as we struggle to understand life’s incomprehensible circumstances.
Perhaps we are seeking the wrong thing. Perhaps instead of searching for solutions, we should search for the Savior. Perhaps the answer can only be found when we become “desperate for God.”
