God Where Are You??

I have known many people that ask God, where are you? They are basically asking why God has not responded to their requests for prayer. While some Catholics and Christians may consider a question like God where are you to be full of doubt and irreverence, I disagree. There are many times when Christians and believers wonder if God exists, or if he is out there listening. In fact, Psalm 44 asks a similar question, and asks if God has actually fallen asleep! Thus, I think it is natural that Christians and other religious people as God where are you?

Even Jesus pretty much asked the same question, when he cried out "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" If Jesus, the Son of God, can basically ask God where are you?, then certainly we have that right without having our faith called into question. Of course, faith is important, and ultimately, the way of faith is better, something Jesus makes quite clear. Nonetheless, it is a normal part of life to ask questions like God where are you, because God is more than willing to give a good answer, which is that God knows exactly where you are!
