It is always best to go first for our answers to Jesus himself. He cried out on the cross, \u201cMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?\u201d It was a human cry, a cry of desperation, springing from his heart\u2019s agony at the prospect of being put into the hands of wicked men and actually becoming sin for you and me.<\/p>\n
We can never suffer anything like that, yet we do at times feel forsaken and cry, \u201cWhy, Lord?\u201d<\/p>\n
The psalmist asked why. Job, a blameless man who suffered horrible torments on an ash heap, asked why. It does not seem sinful to ask the question. What is<\/i> sinful is resentment against God and his dealings with us.<\/p>\n
