When my grandson was just a little guy, he was always hurting himself. But instead of running to us for comfort, he would run away. If we tried to comfort him, he would strike out at us screaming, “Don’t touch me. Leave me alone!” Although we were not responsible for his pain, he blamed us and would not allow us to comfort him. I cannot help thinking how like him we are. Let life deal us a crushing blow and we are quick to blame God.
“I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand
— Isaiah 41:13
and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”
Father God, forgive us for blaming You when tragedy strikes. Teach us to trust You at all times, but especially in the time of trouble. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
