Topic: Hard Questions About Adversity

1. Why did this happen? Is there a reason and a purpose for it?
2. Why did it happen to me or to us? Am I more deserving than others and if so, why?
3. How can a loving God allow or maybe even cause this to happen?
4. Could I control more of what happens to me than I want to believe?
5. What can I control?
6. Are misfortunes and terrible things more likely to happen to people who lead lives of sin or lives of obedience to God?
7. Does living in sin or living in righteousness make any difference?
8. What is the meaning of all this misfortune?
9. Could this misfortune be a test of my faith and obedience?
10. Could the Lord be strengthening me for a greater purpose?
11. Could the meaning of this misfortune just be shrouded from me?
12. Could it be that God cannot work in my life in this adversity the way I demand or want him too?
13. Would faith and love of Christ be necessary if He always gave me an answer to every question I ever asked?
14. Could it be that God has a certain procedure or method He must follow in order to work in my life, especially in times of adversity?
15. Is it within my human power to take a terrible event and use the terrible event to glorify God and His Son Jesus Christ?
16. If I believe God will not forsake me, He will be beside me, around me, beneath me, behind me, before me, and within me…then why doesn't He protect me from all the harm of life?
17. Where are the real mansions of life built for me?
18. The rain falls on the just and the unjust. Do those of us who have committed our lives to Christ and live lives of obedience to Him have an advantage when the rain starts to fall?
