Recently at a local high school, the kids were all asked to write down what they wanted the parent’s prayer group to pray about. But instead of prayer requests, almost all wrote down questions … questions of confusion and why, what, how! It’s probably one of the saddest set of questions I’ve seen for a long time ... some examples:

“When will my life become nice and happy again?”
“Who are you, and why do you hide from me?”
“Why don’t you reveal yourself?”
“Why do bad things happen?”
“What is existence?”

I suspect that behind all of these questions is the fact that they do not understand because they do not see God’s love around them. They see instead followers of religion spouting rhetoric from the nice house, big church, and a pollution belching SUV. It’s no wonder they ask, where is that love Christians talk about?
