Heather, I like you suffered with migraines for many years. Mine were so bad I collapsed on several occasions. A girl I used to work with told me about something called “FeverFew” from GNC. An all natural product with no side affects. She told me I would need to take them for about a month to 2 months before I felt any relief from my migraines.

About 5 weeks after I started taking them, I noticed that my migraines were getting less severe, and after about a year of taking them… NO MORE MIGRAINES!!! Praise God!!! I still praise God and will always praise God for this wonderful woman who came into my life.

She did say though that “FeverFew doesn’t always work for everyone, but that they made need to take “Magnesium” instead!

I know many women have a fear of taking “natural products” which are from God’s green earth and are without side effects, instead of taking drugs which are known to destroy your liver and kidneys.

My favorite video on the silence of God: Go to http://www.youtube.com and search Andrew Peterson The Silence of God. Jesus understood exactly how we feel. This song makes me cry every time I hear it because it shows what Christ went through for us and puts my own problems into perspective for me.

Pain though is almost another issue entirely. I have suffered from severe chronic migraines (10 per month lasting days) for the past 19 years. I lost jobs, friends, felt like a complete failure. Pain is a very difficult thing for us to deal with, and chronic pain can be debilitating and depressing. I’ve learned to stay connected to a few good friends who I can count on to lift me up, both in spirits and in prayers.

God is always with us, even when we don’t feel like He is. Always, always, always.

God wants to have a “love” relationship with us. For many years, I anticipated that God would “do” for me. God has a plan. If I ask him, seek Him in His word, and trust that He loves me, I am free to love Him and love others in return. I don’t need to seek a certain outcome.

I have read about many others in my situation. They prayed for saving of their marriage, and it did not come. Is this God\’s plan for me? Should I put in all hope, prayer and time to a God that knows the possible, horrific outcome?

God knows of my many years of depression, and it is very critical now. Would a loving God prefer me to succomb to depression, which I don\’t care about right now??

God brought us together and I let my marriage fall apart. She has no consequence or thought of changing her mind… she has proclaimed hate and loathing for me, we have nothing in common, no romance,etc.

Is there a God that will answer my prayer for saving my marriage, or destroyed like some other?

I too have been mad at God, but God is so awesome! Two words came to mind when I read this post: BELIEVE and FAITH. Hewbrews 11:1 (NLT) tells us that, “Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.” or (NIV) “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”

We could believe with all our hearts that something will happen or a situation or circumstance will turn around in our favor, however our Heavenly Father knows best! A few other verses come to mind.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV), “For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Romans 8:28 (NIV), “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

When we believe in something, we believe that it will come true just as we hope or invision, however, when we have faith we’re not only believing, but we’re also trusting God that if what we’re beliveing in does not happen the way we want it then God has a greater plan beyond what we can comprehennd and that whatever His Master plan is, it’ll be good for us and others. We live in the moment, where as God lives in eternity. He knows what’s best for us based on His eternal plan for our lives and not just this moment or today, tomorrow, but so far beyond in the future we can’t rap our minds around it. All in all, as you said Kelly, we must trust God….ALWAYS Be blessed.

I felt this way when a friend of mine’s 30 year old daugter died of breast cancer after 13 months. I so did not understand why God did not respond to our urgent prayers of faith. I believed that she was going to be healed. She had her whole life ahead of. It made me not want to pray the prayer of faith for people and to encourage them. Now I’m facing the same dilemma with one of my employees who is facing her 4th round of chemo from ovarian cancer. We are believing and believing for her healing, yet she has just gotten another bad report. Is it me? Do I not have enough faith? How can we stand on the scriptures and them not come true?

I think it speaks of us testing God. Let me put down this wool and in the morning let it be dry but everything else around it wet. Okay you did that, now let the wool be wet and everything around it dry….. instead of being grateful that God has given us so much and that we are called to live for Him, not to live comfortably.

I totally understand what you’re talking about. I feel the same way sometimes…and I wonder why he won’t answer me in this situation when he did in another one. And like you, I just have to trust Him. Hmmmmmm.
