I'm a very rational person. I need things to make sense, and if they don't make sense then I sit and puzzle them out till they do. I analyze and I find a reason for just about everything. I cannot tell you how many times I have tried to make sense of things happening in my life. Tried to make sense of what God is allowing to happen to me or others. And when I can't, when I can not find a single useful reason, then I start to slide down that slippery slope of doubt. Maybe falling so far as to doubt the goodness or existence of God. If God was truly goodness in its rawest form then why did he allow for that person to swallow those pills, that poison? Why was there no one there for them? Why did he not whisper in their ears the words they needed to hear?
You know, there was someone else whispering their ear as well, and his words are frighteningly persuasive. The devil will not be reasoned with. He is the father of lies. When you let him infiltrate your head with his spider webs, you will lose your way. Confusion is his weapon. Trust me when I say that he has power and can convince you of anything if you let him. You might think it is your truly sensible side finally showing itself, telling you to get rid of that childish crutch of religion. He tells you happiness is a feeling that only naive children can feel, that there is too much evil and hurt in the world to find happiness. If you think it gets better, you are lying to yourself. But God says that is so far from the truth.
It is true. Without God, there is no light or good in this world. But don't let the devil pull you into that. Trust in God. The God who's foolishness is wiser than any knowledge we may have.

1 Corinthians 1:25 "The Foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength."
When nothing is making sense, when you find yourself falling from God. Stand firm. God has so much planned even when you are lost and can't see it. Stand strong in your faith.Trust in God, even when it does not make sense. And continue to march on to Zion, you soldiers of God.
Revelation 21:4 "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain..."
