What really strikes me the most are the similar experiences between the writer, Jo…

I was speaking with someone yesterday who is going through a similar faith crisis. She's decided to quit going to church, quit praying, and all the rest. She's even separated herself from her family some because of these choices - which I think is most unfortunate. Thanks for sharing your experience. It has given me something more to think about.</p> Sharing this story is very timely. I was speaking with someone yesterday who is going through a similar faith crisis.

This was several years ago, when we first moved to Lethbridge. He didn’t even share it all with me. It was only after the fact that he told me to what extent his faith was tried.

Thank you for sharing it.</p> <p>My crisis of faith had similarities. For a long time I couldn't understand why God would not answer my prayers. For years. I really was trying my best to live a righteous life and to get the answers I sought, and I came to a similar place, wondering if there really was a God at all. I eventually DID get answers, and I think that long period of time when I sort of lost my faith - it helped me to learn compassion, helped me to become a less judgmental, more open person - something that I desperately needed, since I'd spent my life thinking negative things about siblings and family members who were less active or non-believing. It really did change me, and I think that was the whole point. To learn how to be a more compassionate person and to start to learn spiritual maturity.</p> What a touching post.
