Where did God come from?

So today at work my friend asked me a question that many have asked and it's even a question I've thought about. The question is where did God come from? She was reading Genesis and we know that God was there before the creation of everything but knowing that there had to be someone or something before everything in order for these things to be created then our minds might wonder then who was before God? Well here's the answer that I've come up with....(drum role) I don't know. I know this idea that God was just there before anything and that nothing created Him is kind of mind blowing. Even though I can't really explain it to someone this is what I do know, He was there before everything, He's still here now, and He will always be. I told my friend that God just always being there is what makes Him God. There is no beginning to Him and there is no end either. He is the source of everything. I know that we as humans always want to know where everything came from and how everything is made. To be honest if God thought that we could handle all the mysteries about Him then He would reveal them to us. But since we can't this is something that we just need to have faith in and be ok with just knowing that our God is and will always be. I relate this to those difficult times in our lives when we aren't sure exactly why things are happening. Life is full of situations that we really don't have answers to. The only piece of advise that I can give you is that no matter what we might be going through, we need to seek the Lord and if He doesn't answer we just need to always know that God is good, faithful, and that He is and will always be.
So my prayer for us today is that God would free us from these questions that don't have answers to. I pray that if these questions do have answers that God would grant us the knowledge to understand these answers or give us the patience to wait for these answers. I pray for strength and faith for us to let God be God.
