“Why, God?” If you have ever said a prayer, it has probably been this one. “Why God” is a natural response when we are hurting. This week, we will talk discuss the idea that God is okay when we need to ask this question. While there may not be a very clear and rational answer, sometimes God uses the struggle to show us something about ourselves, about Himself, or to draw us into a closer relationship with Him.

Is it possible that God has a reason for the "storm" you are going through? Have you ever gone through a storm and wondered why would God allow this to happen to me, and then after it is all over seen the "Why" or the "How" God used the storm for your good, or how He protected and provided for you during the storm?

We want to hear your stories! Being able to share your storm stories with other people helps others know they're not alone, and that people do and can survive a "storm".
