Hello?
Is anyone out there?
Can You hear me?
God, creator to all,
Please respond to me.
Where are You?
Who are You?
How do You make your decisions?
Lord,
I’m really trying to understand You.
But I find You to be quite complex.
I need some knowledge of Your ways.
Because, all of this...
Doesn’t make any sense.

You encourage us to trust You,
That You will never leave us.
I know many that have and still do,
Worship and praise You.
Only to endure one blow right after another.
Yet still trusting and walking with You.
Forever following Your word,
While suffering unbearable pain.

Would You mind answering some questions for me?
It would be a very precious gift.
Why must there be war?
Why ever let a parent bury their child?
Why not prevent so many tragedies?
Why must God loving christians,
Have to go though long, slow, painful deaths?

Since my father accepted Christ in his life,
He never denied You.
Fighting for You
And for Your will to be done.
Preaching Your word,
Putting bibles in hotel rooms.
He loved You so much Lord.
His eyes lit up with excitement when he spoke of going home (heaven).

I held his hand as he was dying.
It took months for him to pass...
He was child like and so very terrified.
I reminded him of You and told him to go home,
"It's ok daddy,
I'll see you when I get home."
I never seen my father in so much pain.
Lord, why did You wait so long to take him home?

I think You can,
At times, be too harsh.
Some have worked so long and hard for You.
Yet You still watch them struggle...
Jesus died on the cross for our sins,
But we still pay dearly for them.
It seems, that Christians never receive credit for their hard work.
Truly, they are Your humble and meek servants.

Yes, Eve ate the forbidden fruit.
Enticed by Your fallen angel.
If you wanted Father,
Satan would cease to exist.
Why did You give him the power of free will?
Why couldn’t Eve just be forgiven?
Or even taught a lesson.
Instead Your hand was severe and swift.
There was no unconditional love at that moment.
Just fear for them and anger from You.
Lord, do you have a bad temper?

Please I am not trying to insult You,
I'm trying to understand You.
I want to feel closer to You...

Well it was nice talking to You.
I hope to hear from You soon.
I’ll be here waiting and listening for You.
Father God can you forgive us soon?
It sure would be nice to take a stroll with You and visit for awhile.

Love Your daughter,
Lori Mack
