Learning to Trust God Again: Acknowledge Doubt and Ask Questions

Grief forces me to walk Relentlessly Forward  even when I long to go back.

I can’t stop the clock or the sun or the days rolling by.

Those of us who are more than a couple months along in this journey (or any journey that involves tragedy and loss) know that it is ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE to feel worse than in the first few days.

Because as the edges of the fog lift and the reality of an entire lifetime looms before you the questions form and the doubt sinks in:

Where ARE You God?

Why don’t You DO something?

Are You even LISTENING?

So many of us who have been in church for a long time think that Wrestling With God or entertaining doubt  is sin-or, at best- unhealthy and proof of a weak faith.

  1. I love your blog, it helps me daily. I definitely have questions. I’ve asked God for a explanation. My 8 year old daughter passed from a upper respiratory infection, moderate to severe… I can’t believe the diagnosis, I struggle with it daily. My life had been a wreck since she passed. My question to God is how could he allow this to happen when he knew it would destroy me the way it has. I’ve grieved since 1997, the year she went to Heaven. I’ve struggled with my faith but I thank God that I have faith.. struggle with going to church.. I love my church family, but they don’t know that I lost a child.. well the preacher and his wife does as he preached Chelsea’s sermon. I love them. I love God and I’m thankful for my faith.
