Your job is not to make her understand, even if she demands understanding and answers. No matter how many time you give the arguments and point her back to the Bible, it is ultimately up to God. Remember, only God can truly open her eyes and allow her to see his truths. The most powerful thing you can do to share God’s truth with her is to love her with the love of Christ. Your job is to pray, to share the truth with her, but most importantly, just love her.
Otherwise, just walk through the pain with her. Paul also discusses suffering and pain in the Corinthians.
#Go tell your friends about it what god has done for you full
The Psalms are chock full of verses about pain, suffering, and than ultimately, praise. Scripture, such as Psalms, can be very comforting. The theological arguments, as much as they may make sense to you, will not sooth your friend’s hurting heart. I’m not saying that explaining death, free will, God’s plan for us, etc., is completely worthless, but that may not truly be the heart of the issue. Your friend is probably lashing out because she is hurting, and you, and ultimately God, seem like a good outlet. The fact that God is in control doesn’t make it hurt less. You see, the goodness of God doesn’t make the pain go away.
It’s not that all of those things aren’t true, but I’ve had several extraordinary difficult things happen in the last year (including a death), and that was never the answer I needed. People who are going through this time really don’t want to hear about the “goodness of God’s plan”, the “God is in control” line, Romans 8:28, Jeremiah 29:11, etc.
