When you are in trouble...

Trouble comes in different levels
Why am I always like this...?
Why are these things happening around me?
Why is this person acting like this?
Why is my church doing this?
Why is this country going through this?
etc. etc.

One common element of all these troubles:
You might feel like saying,
"Why is not God helping me/us?"
"Why does God allow this to happen?" ("What is he doing out there?!")

Then a question:
Have you tried to report to him what's in your mind (of course, honestly)?

Pokemon song says, "Itsumo itsudemo umaku yukunante hoshowa dokonimo naikedo..." (Even though there's no guarantee that things will always work fine...)
"itsudemo itsumo honkide ikiteru koitsutachiga iru!" (...these guys always live their moment with genuine seriousness!)

So, at least give it a try--honest report to God (with sincere readiness to receive his response from any unexpected angle)
Once you feel you got any small response, keep engaging and see what happens to what you reported to him...
