Do you ever think about what questions you would ask God if given the chance? Questions about your future, your present day, or how the world works?

As you can see, some people have a deep personal matter they want to get to the bottom of, while others are simply curious as to how the world works. I hope if you're reading this that you realize you are not alone in your questions, and someone out there is probably wondering the same thing. So ask away, because I know God would love to hear your questions (and he just might give you some answers).
