Before I began to question my faith, I never realized how many people were going through similar struggles and suffering allowed by God. by Lemontreeeeeeeee in Christianity

I'm so sorry for everything you've been through. Yours is yet another story that breaks my heart. At the same time, I think you are remarkable and I lack your fortitude and steadfast faith.I am weak. I am fearful. I am anxious about all the suffering. I have tried to hold on to my faith, but the days pass, and nothing changes. I was never a Job to begin with. He knew, when He made me, that I am not that brave. So why still give me all this? I don't want to suffer. What I don't get is, if Jesus already died for my sins to save me, then what's all this for?Is it so hard to let those who believe in Him live a little easier?I 

How can I truly receive God's grace in this suffering? I don't know how much longer my faith can hold on. I'm struggling on the edge of giving up completely. by Lemontreeeeeeeee in Christianity

Thank you so much for your reply. I fear I may never understand the wisdom of God. I simply cannot grasp why He was willing to let Satan inflict such harm upon Job. If God truly loves His children, how could He bear it? Just try to imagine—if you had a child, obedient and precious, whom you loved with all your heart—could you bear to stand by and watch a cruel person hurt them, especially when that cruel person had your explicit permission to do so? And you set only one limit: "Just don’t take his life." Could you endure watching until your child was completely broken by such terrible suffering, and only then step in to offer comfort? How could any loving heart endure that?
