They say God doesn't give you more than you can handle. He must seriously think ~~I'm a badass~~ we're all badasses. Just saying.

	Sometimes it's hard to keep faith, you know? Especially without that many faithful people around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I know exactly what you mean, brother. It's important to pay attention to your own relationship with God before anyone else's. Athelstan and I are working on rebuilding the church, and we can be found there most days. You're welcome along any time, if you want to talk, pray together - or simply be alone with God, we'll give you space. Sometimes it can help to clear your head.

	Thank you. I really appreciate that. I think it's been nearly 30 years since the last time I decided to talk to God. When the one good thing you have in your life is taken away from you, you tend to get a little angry. And sometimes that anger never goes away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's never too late to start again.

And let me tell you something that not everyone seems to realise- its okay to be angry with Him. It's okay to scream and shout at Him, it's okay to say you hate Him for the things he's done. The bible is full of references to His people being angered, and He expects it. He also makes no secret that He feels angry as well. God expects it. If He has made you suffer more than you think you can stand, He expects anger. Tell Him. He's probably expected it for a while.
