God, you have
searched me, and you know me.
You know there are
some things about
you that I do not
understand.
How can I ever
comprehend
how you would make
the sun stand
still, and the moon
stand still; and harder
yet to understand,
why would you want
to make them stand
still in the
pursuit of vengeance?
As difficult as these
are
to wrap my mind
around, O God,
why would religious
authorities plot to
bring about the death
of Jesus?
