Why Lord Why

Lord do not get me wrong all my life i have been brought up to trust love and believe in you. 
Even though my life has been plagued with abuse i have always kept my faith. 
I wonder why there is so much hurt in our world. 
When you spread your arms out i believe it was that you would shelter us from all harm that is taking over our world. 
Why lord do we have to suffer as we do? 
You know all you see all you are all. 
Lord help us all. 
I am devastated  wonderong what  the next day may bring. 
I deserve to be happy i deserve to live  a normal life just like i hear  and read about. 
But everyday it seems like it is getting harder and harder just to go on with life as it is. 
So lord please forgive me  . 
I do not need to be rich i do not need to be famous all i want is to be able to survive in this world  today. 
Struggling to keep my  home and put food on the table seems to be an everyday nightmare. 
I will always pray to you as i  have been all my life for life to get better then this. 
So lord i can not help but to wonder why lord  why
