Suffering & Hardship

I have tried to live decently my whole life and this still happened to me. Why do bad things land on people who did nothing to deserve them?

I have been ill for years now and my faith is worn thin. How do I keep believing God is good when my body keeps failing me?

Constant pain makes it impossible to sit still and be quiet with God. How do I pray when my body will not settle?

I have prayed for healing for years and nothing has changed. Do I keep asking, or is it time to accept that this is simply my life?

I have just been given a serious diagnosis and I do not know what to do with it. Where do people find hope when the news is this bad?

The hardest part of being ill this long is not the illness, it is that people stopped checking in. How do I handle feeling forgotten?

I have been waiting on God for something for a long time and my patience has run out. How do I keep waiting without turning bitter?

I am not a patient person and waiting on God is making me short tempered with everyone around me. Is that normal, and how do I grow out of it?

People keep telling me God will not give me more than I can handle. This is more than I can handle. What am I supposed to do with that?

It feels like God is punishing me and I cannot work out what for. I am not a bad person. Why is my life like this?

Every hard thing that happens feels like the bill coming due for my past. Is God settling accounts with me?

Everything has gone wrong at once and I cannot tell what is God, what is my own bad decisions, and what is just life. How do I read any of it?

I am angry at God and it has been building for a long time. I do not know what to do with all of it.

What I am going through feels completely pointless. Is there meaning in this somewhere, or am I just supposed to endure it?

I live with a disability and some days I cannot shake the feeling that God shortchanged me. How do I make peace with the body I have?

We lost our home and nearly everything we owned. I do not know how to start again, or where God was while it happened.

I am worn down to nothing and I want to give up: the effort, the trying, the pretending. How do people keep going?

I put years into something and it failed. I do not know how to get up and start over again.

This season feels like nothing is happening. My life is on hold and I cannot tell whether I am being prepared for something or simply stuck.

There is no end date on this. How do I keep going when I cannot see when it stops, or whether it will?

I am quietly mocked and sidelined at work for being a Christian. How much of this am I supposed to just take?

Nothing catastrophic has happened. Life is just relentlessly hard and I am tired in a way that sleep does not fix.

Someone told me this is a test of my faith. If it is, I think I am failing it. Is that really how this works?

There is so much suffering in the world and it is getting harder to carry. How do people hold on to a good God with all of this in front of them?

I begged God to spare me from this and it happened anyway. How am I supposed to trust him with the next thing?

People keep telling me everything happens for a reason. It makes me angry, and I do not know whether that is fair of me.

I am not the same person I was before this happened. Will I ever feel like myself again?

Someone I love is in prison. I am carrying the shame and the missing of them and I cannot talk to anyone about it.
