From the beginning of time, death is a part of life on earth. One out of one of us will – at some point – take our last breath here and move on to whatever is next. The point is to be ready, as no man knows the day or hour of his passing.

​

That said, everyone wrestles with the most difficult question of all, the one Dawson wrestled with after losing London. “Why?” we ask. “Why would a good God allow someone so young to die? Why didn’t He prevent it?”

​

​

For Discussion:

 

• If you are able, share about a tragic time in your life. Did you pray? Did you feel your prayers were heard? Explain.

• In the time since then, have you leaned toward God or away from Him? How has that shaped your life?

• What is your perspective on that tragic time now?

• What advice would you give someone going through a tragedy of their own?

 

​

I Can Do That:

 

• Journal about a time of tragedy in your life. Address your questions about God then and how you feel about that now.

• Think of someone in your life who is dealing with tragedy or loss. Write them a letter, offering love and support.
