I have done all that, I have cried and have plead and have asked if there is something I am not doing to please God to show me. I have told him how deeply hurt, disappointed, betrayed in his not keeping what to me are vital promises he Said if I believed and I did believe then the day the hour, the time comes for a specific thing a big thing; legal problem or health problem or one for protection. We lose the legal battle, Not one we created but forced on our door and we were vicitms of others. The job we needed nor any job comes for 14 years, only piece mean and so we are in so deep of debt we will be dead before ever paid and what they bring does not even pay all the bills or physical needs. protection for children and grandchildren and one dies, beloved and you trusted God to protect and bless. Why take a four year old who ONLY LOVED you and on top of that allow the media, the law to do power trips for ego and harass and want to prosectue an innocent parent who did NOTHING to harm the child at all there loved that baby and now they want to prosecute and hurt the family more the rest of the children more. Enough is enough and I have asked, plead, prayed and nothing makes sense I am done.

Thanks Edwin for posting. I appreciate your honesty and candor. I know beyond any doubt that God loves his children, and he is constantly fighting for good and for healing and for justice. I believe he's working 24/7 to fight on behalf of those who can't fight. But, at the same time, (and this is where the church gets it wrong), God's hands are often tied. He is limited in what he can do here on earth. Most churches teach that God is sovereign over the earth and his power is unlimited here on earth, but that's not what the Bible teaches. Sure, there is a level of God's sovereignty here on earth, but he does not have all power here on earth. His power can only be released here on earth through agreeing believers. We are the only channel of God's power and love here on earth. All through scripture, God has always required agreement to do things on the earth. Even in creation, God said, "Let us make man in our image." Notice it's all plural. And, when you read the numerous Bible stories of God's power here on the earth, it is always tied to or released through a person or people. Right now, Satan is the "prince and power of the air" (Ephesians 2:2) and he is the "god of this world" (2 Corinthians 4:4). He's the one in control and that's why there is so much suffering and disease and injustice. He's the source of pain, not God. Adam had all authority here on earth, but gave it to Satan when he messed up in the garden. Jesus came back and regained that authority, which is why we as believers in Christ have all authority here on earth. Sadly, most Christians don't get it. They sit idly in their pews doing nothing, waiting for God to move, and God is waiting for them to get up off their butts and be the Church that Jesus died for them to be. If you're going to blame anyone, blame the devil for causing it and blame the lukewarm church for not doing anything about it. Because with the power of Christ in us (Ephesians 1:19-20), we can do amazing things here on earth.

I look around and see the innocents suffering, children, animals, and I wonder where is this all loving,god? This god than can see all, here all, be in all places at the same time, when I was younger I never questioned why things happen as they happen, but now there is so much greed and intolerance, and hatred and I can’t help but feel that if there is a god he must have forgotten about his “children”

Me too. I am enrolled in the DWG Annoymous program.

Step 1. Admit I am DWG. “Hi my name is Carl and I’m DWG my whole life.”

Step 2. Make peace with the truth that God is not disappointed with me.

Step 3. Repeat step 2.
