Something God allows hardship to come to us because of our sins and maybe we have transgressed from his law and commandments our sin creates a barrier between us and God it makes fid to be far away from us giving the enemy the chance or opportunity to afflict us and in that state of sin he cannot answer us when we call because his eyes cannot behold iniquities but when we are in line with the commandment of God following his will he will not intentional bring problems to us he is not a wicked God for every hardship he allowed to happen to us was for a cause we see that in Lamentations 3:33-35
So for us not to get on the other side of God where he will turn his face against us and allow the devil to afflict us it is important we keep obeying the law and commandments of God because he is not a injustice God he wouldn't punish us for no reason either will he shut his ear against our cry for help for no reason it is always our sins that draws us far from God and when this happens he allows evil men to torture us so not all affliction or hardship comes from God
GLORY TO GOD
AMEN
