It is not wrong to question God as to why you are suffering. Job questioned God as to the cause of his suffering. Jesus knew the purpose for which He came into the world was to die for the sins of all mankind. Yet in His hour of suffering He cried out, "My God, My God, WHY hast thou forsaken me?" It is what follows the questioning that is important. Jesus' next words were, "Into thy hands I commit my spirit.". Despite the questions, Job's response was ‘Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him...(Job 13:15) For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth, after my skin is destroyed worms then in my flesh I shall see God. (Job 19:25-26). After all the questioning is finished, the emphasis must change from "you" to "God." You must commit your suffering, with all its unanswered questions, into the hands of God and be sure you are not living in sin.
