The God of Every Question

Body
We are living in a very fast paced culture! You can get on the internet, type out a detailed question and within seconds, have a very clear answer to just about anything you want to know. People often ask questions on social media and start getting feedback from others within moments. The truth is, we all have complicated questions at times, and we just want real answers. The answers that we need are often complex, full of emotion, and not as simple as just plugging in a question for a researched response. Where do we go when we genuinely want to find answers?
