Why me?

This is one question which we end up asking ourselves when facing some very tough situations in life. We question God for putting us through our ordeal.

I'd read in a book that God does not like to get into an argument. He will never answer the question "Why me?" The author went on to say that the right the question is not "Why do bad things happen?" but "What happens to people when bad things happen to them?"

Do they take a turn for worse? Do they lose faith? Or do they rise above all of it?

I've often said (to myself) that when we do not question anything good happening to us, then we should not complain about the bad either. We should think of the darkest of days as challenges thrown at us by life which we should not fear facing head on.

What becomes of us following turbulent times is a reflection of our character and strength.

It is the tough times that makes us realise the presence of god.And once that time passes it is then when we start appreciaing our conversations with god :) WHY ME means nothing coz if not us then who else

And why ME? Why go individual? Why not look for support! So instead of saying GOD WHY ME? You can say THANK GOD IT'S 'US', THANK GOD I AM NOT ALONE. Problems reduce when you share them! Friends are after all given by God too! :)
