"where is God when we need him???"

that is a typical question we comes accross in times of suffering/trials in this life no matter in what form they are...
the "footprints in the sand" story by Mary Stevenson (google it up if u dont know them :D:D ) reminds us that God is a God that will never leaves us alone especially in times when we tend to think he is leaving us alone ( "why when i needed u most, you have not been there for me?" )
from the story, i came to realise that we are so selfish thinking that God is leaving us alone to deal/face our troubles...i mean how do we know that when there's only 1 set of footprint thats our footprints???

2 corinthians 1:3-11 tells us that hardships happened so that we'll rely on God since we deffinitely cant rely on ourselves because we do not have the power to face them alone. In God, we have hope to be delivered from hardships and get comforts from him which then can be shared to our brothers and sisters in Christ as they might face the same hardships.
