Something has happened. And the question has arrived.
You may not have said it out loud. Maybe not to anyone. But it is here now, holding you awake.
Before anything else: the question is not a sin. It is one of the oldest questions in Scripture. Job asked it. The Psalmists asked it. Jesus' own disciples asked it. You are allowed to be here. You are allowed to be asking.
This place was made for where you actually are — not for the version of you who has already worked out what to believe.
