Ok, I really thought about this question a lot. And at first I was going to say that I would ask a "why?" question. Like, why did my mom and dad get divorced or why someone close to me had to die? But, after thinking about those questions I don't know if getting the complete answer would help me. I know that even when evil things happen or at times when we experience suffering God is still giving us grace, because what we deserve is Hell. When we get something less than Hell, we are receiving grace. It's a hard truth, but its the truth. God made everything good, but we messed it up with our sin. Even so, God does not give us completely what we deserve. If He did, If He were fair, all of us would face the reality of eternity in Hell. So, even in pain there is grace. If I asked God why he took my dad's life when I was twelve I don't know what the complete answer would be; but I know that I didn't deserve him for the twelve years I had him, so I can't expect the answer to resolve any feelings of being shorted or wronged by God. So I think a lot of "why" questions are looking for answers in the wrong direction. We should ask the "why" questions in the an other direction. Like, why did God give me a dad for twelve years, when I didn't deserve it.

So, what question would I ask God? I don't know, but I know that the answer would never fault God's character and would lead me to be thankful.
