This can hopefully be answered by some of the more seasoned guys here and the few pastors that post as well.
In times like these, reading about poor little Lily, how do we keep the faith?
Last year, I asked for prayers for my marriage and it officially died on January 4, 2019 along with my intact little family and changed the course of life for my two little boys with a simple signature. I know many of you prayed and I continue to pray to this day and plant those prayers on my bed and water it with a tear many times even to this day.
Many of us prayed for Lily, and yes, she is in a much better place. But how do we keep the faith when we pray and our cups overflow with prayers only to not be answered? I feel like it is a mindset that we have to get past when things don't go our way, that we continue to have faith even when all hell breaks loose.
I realize it's in HIS time, but is it selfish of me to sway or feel this way? I can't see how any of the two examples above are for the best.
I'm not going to stop praying, but sometimes it feels like it's just...I don't know...I'm speechless.
