Where is God when it hurts

Where is God when it hurts?

• The race is not to the swift, or the battle to
  the strong, nor does food come to the wise, or
  wealth to the brilliant or favour to the learned
  but time and chance happen to them all. Moreover,
  no man knows when his hour will come As fish are
  caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a
  snare, so men are trapped by evil times that fall
  suddenly upon them.

Where is God when it hurts?

• O LORD, you deceived me, and I was deceived you
  overpowered me and prevailed. I am ridiculed all
  day long everyone mocks me.
• The word of the LORD has brought me insult and
  reproach all day long. Cursed be the day I was
  born!
• Why did I ever come out of the womb to see
  trouble and sorrow and to end my days in shame?

Where is God when it hurts?

• How long, O LORD, must I call for help, but you
  do not listen?        Or cry out to you,
  "Violence!" but you do not save?
• Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you
  tolerate wrong?       Destruction and violence
  are before me there is strife, and conflict
  abounds.
• Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice
  never prevails.

  Habakkuk 12-4
