I will say my faith has waivered a little recently because i have been in bad health and I keep asking God why? I do think its a test of faith, but honestly my faith will always be strong and is a part of me, I still grieve about my parents, but I'm ok and they would want me to live richly and happily....I'm doing ok, but yes it is a test of faith when your going thru illness with no light at the end of the tunnel, but I'm getting better now and thats all that matters....we see the reason for it later onContinue

APPEARED INFacing the Loss of Your MateTHE Bible is clear: A husband is to “love his wife as he does himself.” A wife likewise should “have deep respect for her husband.” Both are to carry out their roles as “one flesh.” (Eph. 5:33; Gen. 2:23, 24) Over time, the attachment a couple have to each other gains strength, as does their love for each other. You might compare it to the roots of two trees growing side by side. The feelings of a happily married husband and wife knit and intertwine.But what if the husband or the wife dies? Then that bond, unbreakable in life, is broken. The surviving widow or widower is often left with a blend of heartache, loneliness, and maybe even some anger or guilt. During her marriage of 58 years, Daniella knew many who lost their mates. * But after her husband died, she said: “I never understood this experience before. There is no way to comprehend it until you go through it.”PAIN THAT SEEMS UNENDINGSome researchers hold that no stress is more severe than that resulting from the death of a beloved mate. Many bereaved ones agree with that. Millie’s husband died many years ago. In describing her life as a widow, she says, “I feel I am a cripple.” She was referring to her emotional state, caused by the loss of her mate of 25 years.Susan used to feel that widows who for years mourned the loss of their husband expressed excessive grief. Then her husband of 38 years died. Over 20 years have passed, yet she says, “I think of him every day.” Tears often flow because she misses him so much.The Bible confirms that the pain of losing a mate is both cruel and long lasting. When Sarah passed away, Abraham, her husband, “came in to bewail Sarah and to weep over her.” (Gen. 23:1, 2) Despite having faith in the resurrection, Abraham felt intense grief when his loved one died. (Heb. 11:17-19) After his dear wife Rachel died, Jacob did not soon forget her. He spoke tenderly about her to his sons.—Gen. 44:27; 48:7.What lesson should we learn from these…Continue

I am angry with God. I love Him, but I am so upset with Him. I can't go to church until I feel differently.
I strongly recommend reading when someone you love dies it really gives you hope and helps you cope with the feelings accompanied with the loss of a loved one, also good for reading is tragedy- loss of a loved one
Ashlie, do not worry about what Gods plan is for you or anyone else right now. That plan is in His hands and will be what it will be without your thought of it right now. As far as being angry, God understands this so find a safe place and let him know your anger and frustration, He will take it in and then you will be in a better place to receive His peace. It is OK to be angry with God, He knows this...for now, try and focus on this day. Leave yesterday alone, it is behind you and you are not going there. Let tomorrow be what it will be, it is not here yet and focus on what God can do for you today, today alone...bless you.
God spent all summer building my faith and putting me into situations where I would be doing His work. If my faith would have been the same as before the summer, when we lost my dad, I would have completely turned away from God. I'm trying so hard to hold on to my faith but I am so angry and hurt that I just don't know how to deal with it all. Here we are 6 months post losing dad and I still can't pray without wanting to cuss and scream at God. I know it was His plan but that's honestly the last thing a 21 year old wants to hear after burying her father.
I lost faith in God.my mom was brutally assaulted in her room,for the next 40 days we kept praying ,begging to GOD.
"God is testing your faith",I was told.And then she just died.....
God was not there when she needed them the most.
