The right question is “what?” not “why?”
Stop tormenting yourself by wondering “why” this or that has or hasn’t happened!
Negatively pondering “why” just makes you wanna to cry, and feel as though your heart may die.
IF YOU REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND, THEN GOD WILL SHOW YOU WHY! But it’s futile to continue to try when there’s no reply. It’s like lowering a bucket into a well bone dry. Thereby you waste your strength and go awry?
So don’t let “why” your peace shanghai, but change your question to “what” and kiss “why” goodbye.
“Why” is in the past! “What” is now and for the future. All you need to know is what to do. And when you know what the Lord is leading you do, then you will know why. Because He said so, that’s why, and that’s all the “why” you need to know! So stop seeking “why” and getting stuck in a rut, because what you really need is to know is, “WHAT?”
“WHAT shall I do Lord?”

4 And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, "What is it, lord?"
So he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God. 5 Now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter. 6 He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. He will tell you what you must do."
