Is it okay to question God?

Dana Gresh says yes.

When we're in hard times, and the spiritual amnesia is likely to set in.

That we go to God honestly, we go to God boldly, we go to God openly with our questions.

Listen, he already knows what's in your heart.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Surrender,

The Heart God Controls.

For September 25th, 2020, I'm Dana Gresh.

There really are times in life where we have a ton of questions.

We've been living in a year like that.

We have questions about this worldwide pandemic, concerns about the economy, pain from racial division, and huge political differences.

Maybe you found yourself asking, why God? This makes no sense. What's going on here? You may even be facing what I've heard called a grief within the grief. Personal trials on top of the national and global challenges we're facing. For example, maybe you're wondering, Lord, why would you allow me to walk through this

lonely time as a single woman? Or, God, why did you give me a job only to have it taken away?

Or God, why were my parents taken from me in the middle of this time when I couldn't even go into

the hospital to say a final goodbye.

Well, I haven't faced those particular challenges myself, though I have friends who have,

but Robert and I have certainly experienced grief upon grief during this year as he's walked

through a cancer diagnosis. So many of you have prayed for us during this time, and I want to

just say again a huge thank you.

I could not be more grateful for how the Lord has walked with us on this journey, how he's provided

for us and the sweetness of the prayers and the encouragement that we've received from God's people.

We're so grateful for that.
