Faith: Why?

I write this post with a heavy heart! I am sad! I am angry! I asked again and again ‘why’?

For the last few days I have browsed newspapers of my country again and again. Each time I found rather sad stories. There was also fear of where would my country go from here? ‘Again’ in the name of the God a certain section of the majority was attacking the minorities. They have not only attacked their houses but also the places of worship. I asked God, “Where are you? Why are you not helping innocent people?

God remained silent. He did not answer me. But He helped me to realize that He is amidst the suffering people. He is suffering with them. Perhaps He is asking us all, “Why?”
