Please read Job 24. Job is speaking.

Meditate on verse 1.
Why are times not stored up by the
Almighty, and why do those who
know Him not see His days?
“Why, LORD? Why do You not judge those who seize what does not belong to them? Why does it seem You pay no attention to those who suffer? Why are murderers allowed to kill? Why do adulterers get away with infidelity? Why is a woman who wants a baby not able to conceive? Why do widows suffer? Why is a valiant man brought low by Your power? Why, LORD? Why do You allow suffering? Why is my family suffering? Why am I suffering? Why have You removed Your hand from us? Why, LORD, why?”
Perhaps you have questions to ask God. Do not hesitate to ask Him why He allows you to go through tough times. Ask Him how He is going to get you through those times. Ask Him when He will let the suffering cease. Ask Him what He wants you to do while you wait. Ask Him who else is going through difficulties that you can encourage. Ask Him where this trial will take you in your relationship with Him. Talk to the LORD, a lot. I wish Job had continued talking to God in the midst of his suffering instead of talking more and more to his friends, therefore, sounding more and more like them.
Ask the LORD your questions starting with Job 24:1, keeping in mind, as His faithful, prayerful watchman, your times are in His hand (Psalm 31:15; Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD Almighty, why are times not stored up by You,
and why do those who know You not see Your days?
LORD, why is this so difficult?
Please answer for the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
