We all have questions for God we would like to ask Him. Many of us have questions about God we would like answered. Yet, only recently have I come to the realization that I have never given any thought to the questions I don't have for God. The lack of having questions from a result of having satisfaction in regards to them is an immense blessing I've been blinded to. In coming to realize I don't have many of those hard questions I once did and some I have never had - I will never look at things the same again. I will have more questions in life but in considering the questions I don't have and have satisfaction with - the questions I don't have answered have become easier to trust God with.
The questions I am referring to are those with deep roots within the heart and mind that yearn to be satisfied and need to be - to grow in depth and intimacy with God. They are not questions we can ignore or trick ourselves into believing we have satisfied when they are not. They are not even questions we can trick ourselves into thinking we do not have. They are questions we can not subdue and ignore for they will hinder the heart's ability to love, obey and trust God. They are questions that will cause us pain and effect our life if we ignore them.
Yet, these are also the questions that those following Christ may not feel comfortable asking peers, church staff or family about. While they are not something to be ashamed of or feel bad for having - you must be discerning in who you share them with. We live in a fallen world of imperfect people and even some Christians may hurt you in asking them such questions by disregarding, ignoring or scolding you for asking them.
But, I am certain they are none the less questions you can not ignore and that need satisfaction. You may not get the answer you want in seeking God and asking Him, but they are ones that God does give satisfaction in regards to when you seek Him for those answers. It may not be a instant result of satisfaction but if you stay honest and transparent with God in seeking the answers He is always found by those who seek Him.
