Bible Verses for when you don’t understand, When life doesn’t make sense:
21 Comforting Scriptures, Quotes & Passages.
Sometimes some things happen and we just don’t understand. Sometimes it may seem like life just doesn’t make sense. Why does God allow bad things to happen? Why does God miraculously heal some people and not heal others? Why does God miraculously save some people from disaster, and not save others? Why do some good people live to 100, while other good people die so young? Why do natural disasters happen? Why are Christians being persecuted all over the world? Why does it seem like God is allowing people to get away with evil? Or we may have our own personal battles we are facing… Why would our loving God allow bad things to happen? Why does it seem like God is taking so long to answer our prayers for something that is so obviously good – like a child, a spouse, or healing? Why does it seem like God is taking so long to come to our rescue? Why would our all powerful, loving, caring God allow our loved one to be taken away?
We may question God in our confusion, hurt and pain, wondering, Why God? We may ask – God, what are you doing? As we weep, as we mourn, and as we ask why… we do not fully understand, but we are not hopeless, because we know we serve a living God whose love for us is far greater than our comprehension. We are hopeful, and we are comforted – because even though we do not yet understand, God does. And God is on our side!

#4 God has not forgotten you – Don’t give up on God
We may feel heart broken. We may remember and cry. We may feel sad and alone, and our grief might threaten to overwhelm us. We may even be tempted to think God has forgotten us. But nothing could be further from the truth! God has not forgotten about you! God loves you and cares so very much about you! Please, don’t give up. Please don’t stop trusting God. Please, don’t turn away from God. This is the time to run to God, not away from God. Like the Psalmist, let us put our hope in God, and once again praise Our Savior and our God.
Psalm 42:3-11 “Day and night I cry, and tears are my only food… My heart breaks when I remember the past… Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled?

He has sent waves of sorrow over my soul; chaos roars at me like a flood… May the LORD show his constant love during the day, so that I may have a song at night, a prayer to the God of my life. To God, my defender, I say, “Why have you forgotten me?… Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him, my savior and my God.” (Good News Translation)

We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. So encourage each other with these words.
