Questioning God

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why did You make me like this?”

How long, O LORD, must I call for help but You do not hear, or cry out to You, “Violence!” but You do not save?

“For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, though the nations themselves are terrified by them. …

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
