Hmmm ... dunno why God gets the blame for everything ... like floods, harricanes, earthquakes etc are called "Acts of God". Ever heard of people thanking God when they strike toto or get promotion or got extra performance bonus?
With all due respect to the intent of the thread starter ...
I have my own disability as well. I am partially deaf in both ears and cannot hear well. In places where there are moderate background noises, I cannot even hear the words of people talking to me. When I sing, I go off-key and I dun even realise it (by the way, what is key?). My pronounciation is horrible as I cannot distingish sounds that are very close. For a long time, I pronounce "eight" as "egg" until someone pointed out to me. Still in many circumstances, I know that I phonetics is out ... like "seat" and "sit" ...
Hmmm, so how do I get out of this feeling of helplessness? I believe in God, Who created everything perfect. Due to Sin, the world becomes fallen and so is creation. Hence, things lost its prefection and so hear I am, partially deaf. I hold on to God's promise of an eternal life and a place where there will be no more tears, no more pain, no more suffering.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." Rev 21:1-5
