Question?s

How do we worship God when He has taken away?
When is it easier to worship faithfully; in God's giving or His taking?
Why should we struggle with our faith when we have been denied what we think we need when we daily deny God what He deeply desires from us? (obedience, communion, fellowship, a relationship)
Why do we worship at all?

I want some answers.

Grace and Peace,
Joel

It’s hard to understand why God gives and takes away. When he gives, we may get caught up in the gift and forget to give God praise for it. When he takes away, we quickly turn to Him. God will carry us during those times.

Sometimes He takes away burdens. It is easy to praise Him for that.
Other times He takes away some of our favorite things. We just have to remember we are like a block of wood in His hands. He is carefully carving away and shaping us into what He desires.
