testing my faith

It can be very hard to hold onto faith, especially when it is being tested. However, you can do this. God is God, in the good times and in the bad. If you will seek him, he will give you the strength that you need to get thru this. If you turn from him now, he will not be able to comfort you. Healings do happen, so, that is a possibility, however, without faith, that is not possible either. God does not send cancer on people, neither does he choose to be mean to people, on the contrary, he loves people very much, so much so that he was willing to give his only son, so that we could be forgiven, and walk free, if we choose to. If you had a child, could you possibly give him/her up, for someone you did not know? God proved his love, in that one act, what more would you have him do? We all have to die, even though that is hard, it is a given, and disease is very much a part of this fallen world that we live in. Satan would very much desire to steal your faith from you, in this crucial time, Please don’t let this happen. Talk to a pastor in your church, so that he can help you to understand, and cope with this tradegy. You will be mighty glad you did. I will be praying for you. God bless…

thanks to all of you. a couple of days after posting this I was just having a really good day at school and when I came home I sat and cleared my head and started to think about everything. and I think I’ve come realize to that I was probably just having a spur of the moment sadness from the sudden news and I mistakenly took it out on god when I knew I shouldn’t blame him. so thank you but I’m right back on track now and better than ever!

DONT BE ANGRY AT HIM … ITS FAITH MAYBE ITS A TESTING FOR YOU… IF YOU PRAY FOR YOUR DAD HE CAN GET BETTER

Well Dani, if there are any gods out there, they are not interfering with this world. Based on that simple observation, it’s clear they don’t care whether you worship them, or even believe in them.

Life is not a test. It just is.

As a believer in GOd you must believe that when people die they go to heaven and get to be with the lord.. RIGHT?? So I can COMPLETELY understand the sadness and sorrow you have when losing your grandmother and the fear of losing your father to cancer.. but in all reality you need to support them and need to be there for your father as he fights this battle.. God does not choose to give these people hard times, God does not wish sadness or hurt upon anyone.. That is just life… I understand its so so so so SOOO HARD.. but as for grandma right now, since she has left earth she has been with GOd, she is watching over you. .She is in a better safer more happier place.. You should be happy for her. .You should look forward to the day when you will meet her again in that beautiful place called HEAVEN!! As for your father.. He has cancer.. I hope the best for him.. It would be awesome for him to fight this bAttle and make it thru as a much stronger more faithful person.. Every challenge in life is given to us to make us stronger for what lies ahead of us in the future.. If your father does not make it, stand beside him, be there for him, and comfort him AS HE WALKS THRU THE GATES OF HEAVEN AND GETS TO MEET GOD AND BECOME YOUR VERY PERSONAL GUARDIAN ANGEL… As for you.. you can’t stop what is happening… Don’t point fingers and don’t blame GOD he’s not at fault. .Just sit back and be strong. .stay faithful.. Don’t be afraid to pray. .Don’t be scared to touch a bible.. GOD loves you.. he loves your grandma and he loves your dad and everyone else in this world.. God has a plan.. He knows what is right.. Just be strong. .I know death is hard to deal with.. but be as strong as you can… If you wanna funmail me you’re more than welcome at any time!!

I’m sorry for your loss. When my grandmother died it was interesting. She lived a long life so it wasn’t a shock. and her funeral wasn’t real sad either. I think that’s because…we knew she was going to a better place! Free from illness, (she was suffering from some dementia in the last few years) free from unhappiness, free from sin so people won’t be trying to pull fast ones. That should have been the thing that got me to try to get closer to God. Try to really know Jesus, not just know of Him. A few years later I got a major wake up call. I was diagnosed with MS. That was a little over a year ago. and even then at first I didn’t jump right at the idea my father had to kind of remind me to look up to God. And he had a sinner’s prayer written down on a piece of paper. I didn’t say it right away, but a few days later I did. My life changed radically! The first thing that happened was those discontent/melancholy feelings that I had disappeared and I got much joy! Seriously! It was awesome! And it still is! It hasn’t left! I still have MS but the medical staff seemed amazed at how much I have improved at my last appointment. He is a healer!

Don’t be mad. I know losing a dear loved one isn’t a easy thing at all. But don’t lose the faith. Keep reading the bible and do not…I say do not stop the prayer! That is a major key..because, that is your chance to talk one on one with the Lord. And do things that keep you in good spirits. I don’t know what kind of things that you like, but whatever they are…let it be things that God would approve of. A lot of people don’t realize that doing things that you do well to the best of your ability is a form of worship…it’s like a extension of your prayer. Cool, right? So yeah…do things like things that you are good at. Think of God and your grandmother while you do them. You may cry some at first when you start, but you’ll get better.

I wish you well.

God Bless!!!
