Is God Like This? Painting

This painting came out of a particularly rough season of my life. I ironically painted this while recovering from COVID. I had a really rough case of COVID that left me debilitated for weeks. COVID was rough enough on its own, but I had other health issues going on at the same time. It seemed like every time I took a step in the direction of taking care of my health, whether it would be visiting a doctor, exercising, I would be thrown a new hellish curveball of a health problem to deal with. My efforts to care for myself seemed completely futile. And I kept getting this sense that God was the one afflicting me with these issues. I mean, after all, He was the one I was praying to for relief - and yet I was just getting worse the more I prayed. What is one to do with this? I pictured myself trying to build a life, build a career, build up my health - and it seemed like every time progress was being made, God came in and stomped on it, sending me back to square one, except more discouraged each time. Is God like the bully in this painting - stomping gleefully on the young boy’s sand castle creation and rubbing his foot in smugly for good measure to assure the young boy that he has no hope? Or could God be like the helpless boy in the picture - unable to do anything about the destruction of beauty going on in front of him? Or God could be off in the distance outside of the canvas, watching passively? This painting was created on a 1.5" thick canvas, with the painting continuing around the edges. It arrives framed in a modern, black floater frame.
