Lord....why the little ones?

I have been struggling so much this last year with the pain and suffering of little children. I have been angry and sad and confused as to why God allows His precious little ones to endure the greatest evils that plague our world. Why are they not saved from abuse, hunger, disease, famine, sickness, hurt. And why there are mothers and fathers all over the world that have to watch as their children fight to live. And the unborn, with out a voice, fight for the right to life. Lord....why? Help me to understand how, as our heavenly Father, you can let these little ones hurt.

There is so much joy and hope wrapped up in these little bundles. And with that, uncertainty and fear which has to lead to trust. Or despair. God, I pray for trust in You. You who flung the stars into space. And painted the sky. Who has a vision for your people. And loves and protects them eternally. I pray that in their suffering, they are comforted but your unfailing love.
