This Is Why
Posted on Sep 27, 2008 under prayer | Comments are offI tend to ask “Why me?” whenever bad things happen. When someone hurts me, I’m especially confused. I really do try to be kind to others so I never get it when people are unkind.
Today was a rough day. It’s a personal thing and I’m not comfortable giving details. The person whose actions caused me grief had been very special to me. Although our relationship changed, I’ve tried to be loving and generous. It’s becoming more and more difficult to do that, though, when my heart keeps breaking.
Anyway, I sat here wondering why these things were happening to me and to my family and thought I should pray. I reached for my Rosary and my daughter commented about it. The next thing I knew my daughter, her friend and I were all saying the Rosary. We prayed for the person who was causing so much emotional turmoil for my family.
That’s when I realized that if not for the hard times, I might get lazy about praying. It seems when I start pushing God to the back burner, He yanks on my chain and yells at me to pay attention.
Maybe that’s the answer to “Why me?”
