The trials of life can cause people to doubt God's benevolence from time to time—even in the Holy Land. Israeli news sources report that a man filed a legal request for a restraining order against none other than God himself. The plaintiff, who actually appeared in court for the case, told the judge that over the past three years, God "had been very negative towards him," (though no specifics were recorded). Court documents made note that God did not make an appearance.

Possible Preaching Angle:

Humorous though the case might seem, it highlights a hard question for believers: how are we to respond to God and his love in the midst of hardships that seem to suggest his complete disregard?
