I so needed to read this thread. I used to be so secure in my faith. In fact, I was taking steps to become a minister in my denomination when I became pregnant with Mary. My faith is now in tatters. I want it back but I just feel so angry and hateful instead. Recently my aunt and the husband of a close friend both beat the odds with terrible medical issues. When their friends replied on facebook things like "see our prayers worked!" it was all I could do not to reply, why don't we ask my daughter how well those prayers worked for her? I hope with all my heart to someday feel the peace of a close relationship with God again.
