His ways are higher than our ways and He doesn’t always owe us an answer when we want it.

Because it does nothing to address the longing that one feels or the real life circumstances that someone is dealing with in the moment.

I feel that it is inadequate because that´s how we, I , would answer. I think that it is giving God human attributes and we need to be careful that we don´t do that.
