Praying with tears in my eyes 18 months ago
I have been very diligent in my efforts to pray each day. I have even done some work in reading the Bible before I pray to clear my mind of the clutters that usually find their way into my conversations with God. But there are people close to me who are hurting – my husband who deals with chronic pain every day – my mother, who is watching her sister slowly die from cancer – my father, who just lost his younger sister to illness. They are all angry at God. Can my prayers bring them peace when they have turned their faces away from Him?

I've never understood anger at God. God gave free will. God gave life and all must one day die. I thought belief in God would show God to help relieve suffering, and we all suffer. YOU, yes, all you can do is pray for them and help burden their pain and ease thoer anger. Others in need is an opportunity to the rest of us to do good. IMHO and PS--hang in there
