This past weekend I encountered a situation that has left me heartbroken and, as much as I hate to say it, angry with God. I saw a man abusing his dog right in front of me under the guise of "training it". I was so shocked I just blurted out "are you hitting you dog" and he calmly replied "yes I'm training it". I was speechless and the only thing I could think to say was "there are better ways to do that" and he just responded "you do it your way and I'll do mine" and he walked away with this poor creature that was clearly terrified and cowering from him. I've been struggling since that day with anger that 1) these things happens; and 2) that I had to personally witness it and was completely helpless to do anything. I was in the mountains and could not call the police to help - there was absolutely nothing I could do. That was 3 days ago and I still tear up thinking about it and am very upset that God put me in a situation where I was completely helpless to do anything. I really want to get past it but am struggling.I don't know how to let go of the "why didn't I think of saying this...." or "that" or dwelling on the daily life of that poor creature. I love God very much, but I cannot understand this nor can I make peace with it. I need help to move forward and find something good from it.
