God himself has the power to restore your faith. It is really an act of free will to believe in God. None of us has to. We are free to either believe in His name and His words or not. Things are getting really tough sometimes I know, I feel it myself. But if you think about it, there is really no other way, is there?... I know my words are not of any comfort to you right now, for me neither. But I cannot stop hoping that some day He will have mercy on me and restore me in to the world, for I am deeply in pain as you are. I feel abandoned in my heart although I know in my mind that my situation does not go by unnoticed by Him. I an sure of that. I am sure He watches but I dont know why He does not help. You know there is a little story about the devil 's store. Someone was looking through the stuff in the devil 's store. He saw lots of things, among them there was something with a sign on it that said NOT FOR SALE. That thing was called DESPAIR. I agree with you Monica.

My heart has been ripped in pieces and crush from the whole thing. It's the injustice that hurts so bad. What will be the reward of those that hurt other people ? Does God allows then to carry on living their lives as if nothing happen, while they are trying to riun other people lives ? Where is the justice tha He said He gives ? Why should I be wondering each day how my mortage is gonna be paid becuase of injustice ? And who can ever be in their rightful mind even thinking of asking me to grant then a favor or help then in their time of desperation ? As you said that God has gone throught it but am not God, I am only a human made of flesh, Job went throught it but God gave him that faith to go through his trials, God said He will never gives me more than I can bear, but looking at things now, it's beyond what my faith can produce, How would you feel to be relying on someone and then you realise you felt abondon and been left on your own to pick the pieces up ? Only God Himself alone can RESTORE the faith I had in Him before and my strenght.

He, the most righteous of all people was falsely accused and taken to trial for a crime He had never commited. So you are a little bit in His shoes right now. He can understand and sympathize with you. Since you have done nothing wrong I am most certain that eventually He will do justice to you and relieve you from your burden. i am sure it must be very hard on you now -and has been hard for a long time - but you have to believe that He does not give us false promises, ever. Read psalm 143 and you will feel his presence. " Hear my prayer, O LORD; give ear to my supplications! In thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness! 2 Enter not into judgment with thy servant; for no man living is righteous before thee. 3 For the enemy has pursued me; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead. 4 Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled. 5 I remember the days of old, I meditate on all that thou hast done; I muse on what thy hands have wrought. 6 I stretch out my hands to thee; my soul thirsts for thee like a parched land. [Selah] 7 Make haste to answer me, O LORD! My spirit fails! Hide not thy face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the Pit. 8 Let me hear in the morning of thy steadfast love, for in thee I put my trust. Teach me the way I should go, for to thee I lift up my soul. 9 Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies! I have fled to thee for refuge! 10 Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God! Let thy good spirit lead me on a level path! 11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life! In thy righteousness bring me out of trouble! 12 And in thy steadfast love cut off my enemies, and destroy all my adversaries, for I am thy servant.'' Amen Monica, think about it.

I know in my heart I have'nt done ANY WRONG doing and that's what hurt more than anything else. As a result of the whole thing I am finding it difficult in finding a job because I was taken to court and haivng criminal record for accusation. Now I have a mortage to pay, how can I find a job to pay my mortage ? I had wanted to go back to uni to finish my course and because of this problem I cannot, so I am stuck i the middle of nowhere after I plan careful over the years to go back to uni and get inot my desire field of work. Was God there to protect me from these problems or was He there when I needed Him most of all, I don't think so but felt all alone. How can I forgive someone who I help with my heart and then laid allegation agaisnt me to riun my futrue ? It's over two years now and I cannot see myself getting down on my knees to pray because it makes no sense becuase who is going to answer my prayers if it hasnt answer all these two years ?

Maybe spiritual guidance could be of help right now. I only have one major advice to give you. Whatever happened in the past why don't you just let it go? I suppose you are still dealing with some of the consequences but if there is really nothing you can do, just let it go. If you were wrong about something just acknowledge it, ask God his forgiveness and move on. If you did nothing wrong and you were mistreated by someone else it is the same path of forgiveness that you will have to take. Only this time you will be the one that has to forgive and once again move on. Don't waste any more of your valuable time for it's the most precious gift we all have. At least some of us. Stop feeling bad about what is in the past! Monica I feel for you and everybody else (like myself) who is in pain and is starting to loose faith. Maybe spiritual guidance could be of help right now.

Over the years been a christian, I have never yet question God to an extent or disbelieve about His exisitence becasue I know hwo He is and I've seen Him work wonders in my life when I trust Him, He never lets me down. Two years ago I had an experience which I cannot get over, it eats me up on a daily basic, I totally trust that God would have abck me up in this particular circumstances but in the end I felt so much on my own and lost when each and everyone comes against me included God, that's how I felt then and even now. He knows the situation inside out so there's no need for me to explain what had happen, He told me to give a helping hand alongs lives journey, which I did out of my heart of compassion I didn;t try to help but I put my whole heart, mind body and spirit in whatever I was doing to help someone less fortunate, but in the end the betrayl was too much, the pain was and is unbearable, the problem it causes in my life along with finicial problems is too much to bear. I started doubting God and questoning Him, how does He allow that to happen at this stage in my life. I have worked so hard all my life, never get a helping hand from anyone, everything I have acheive has not come by chance or luck, I have to go out and put my best foot forward and that's how God helps me to achieve what I've got. During that time it was only God and I alone, no one was or has been in the picture, we have early moring and late nights talks, He gives me comfort when I needed it, He has always been my passenger when am drivng, we use to laugh and talk and sing and also cry becuase He makes me happy because I count on Him as my Father and my provider, but things had change so bad that I felt that I have let Him down somwhere along the line, it makes me sad because I cannot get my head around the fact that He's not someone for me to question His doings. I ask my self the question, if only I had turn away from giving any form of assistant to this person in particular then my life would never be in this low and torrible situation it's in for the past two years, where do I turn for comfort ? even though He said He would comfort my heart, but it's two years now, where is that comfort ? Now it gives me reason to question. No one knows how it hurts, I felt as if God was and is on my opposition side, I feel totally let down, that's how am feeling. Where is the justice since God is a just God ? Is this pain and suffering is my reward for opening my heart of compassion for my fellow being ? I dear to comprehend.

It is touching to feel someone cares. The truth is I have stopped praying for some time now as I was feeling deeply frustrated. People tell me to keep on praying and I find it hard. I think what you did is wonderful,helping out in the community. It is so nice to hear that you found a job and I hope everything works out for you just fine. Sometimes patience seems to be the most valuable virtue of all. To just hang in there and pray. If I only did n't have these thoughts that I am doing something wrong... It was so nice to hear those words from you. Thank you! Susanne thank you very much for your beautiful words and for the time you took to actually talk to me. It is touching to feel someone cares.
