If you live long enough, some level of pain, in some area of your life, will find you. When it does, many people are tempted to ask "Why?" It's a fair and natural question to ask. The problem is, it's the wrong question. If you ask the question "Why" for too long, you will just end up in the same place you're already in, with the same problems to solve. The much better question to ask is "What's the Plan?" It's only when we move from "Why" to "What" that we begin to gain traction. When it comes to pain, we can actually do more with "What" than with "Why". This is the moment where God is given complete control of everything, where pain is no longer in the driver's seat and forward momentum can begin to happen again. Through the life of Job, my own personal experiences and most importantly the Lord's Prayer, we will discover how to find God's purpose in the middle of our pain.
