Losing The Faith

@MissKB I heard the point, or purpose, is to do small acts of love always, as we can. That if we can, we can do the small things beautifully. Packed with love, is all that matters most.

:hug:

(PS, despite ongoing processing, I think the trauma stuff will always have it's impact on how we feel, but maybe some times better than others.)
 
MissKB, I think I understand your situation. I have always managed to keep myself grounded with God. I always remind myself that if I'm angry, then He knows. I have stopped going to church, sometimes for years. Yet, I know that he understands and will still be there when I'm ready to come back.

One day I found a letter that I had wrote to Him when I was very young. It asked Him to stop "daddy" from hurting me, and I questioned him on why He was letting this happen. I begged Him to tell me.

"I thought you liked kids. Jesus loves kids. Why won't you help me."

It made me very sad to realize how much this little girl needed His help. As an adult, I try to understand why He didn't stop the "hurt" and why he let even more happen to her/me as life went on. (I have 5 "demons" to deal with) If you need to get angry at Him, that's ok. I had a friend tell me once to go to a lake and just throw stones into the water. Throw them as hard and as far as you want. You can cry and yell at Him as much as you want. I have done it quite a few times, but, I always know that He will understand, and be there waiting when I decide to come back. Try not to lose your faith. It will always be a part of you--and He know that, so don't be hard on yourself. Your going thru some hard times in life. Good luck to you.
 
Thank you katz for your words. I really want to thank everyone who has responded to this thread. I am taking to heart all the good vibes, and coping right now.
 
I unfortunately get you....and wish I had answers for you.
I mentally believe in a God of grace and mercy...loving and compassionate. And I believe because we live in a evil fallen world and God gave man kind free will to chose to do good and evil.....and unfortunately we all know the evil choices people make, because we suffer the consequences of them all the time.
I do not understand the ways of God, why sometimes I am spared evil touching me and other times I am not..... and yes I get angry and even at God......I know he is ok with my anger...and understands my pain. There is so much I can not know....but I cry out for the answers anyway, wanting to know why?
I know he loves me....even when I dont know if I love him back....I want to walk away and say forget it I cant believe any more.....Im to angry Im to hurt...to much evil has crushed my heart and there is nothing left .....
