How Could It Happen

There is so much that goes on in our lives that we stop and wonder how could this have happened. There are too many things in life that we don't think could happen to us; when we think of things in that light we are unsure of how to handle them. We are unsure of how to pray for things or what we should pray for. How do we help someone who is dealing with something major? When bad things happen, too many of us ask God why it happens. Why could he have allowed things to happen the way they do. Its hard to help someone understand why something happens when it does and affects their lives so much.

I know of a situation where it was stated "you never think it could happen so close to you" and that made me think. Yea we never think of the worst things that could happen, but the thing is they do happen and people find a way to make it through them. Most of them turn to like drugs, alcohol or other things, but we need to really turn to God when we need to make it through something horrible and devastating. Who else could help us find consulation or peace through the most hideous of events that life can throw at you? Sometimes instead of thinking that could never happen to me, why not start to think that is possible, but how would I deal with it and pray to God that one it doesn't happen to you and 2 that you will be able to respond in the correct way when something does happen to throw your world out of whack.
