Christians – Why Would God Give Me Such Wonderful Opportunities Only to Have Such Difficulties Pop Up?
Question by Ava: Christians – Why would God give me such wonderful opportunities only to have such difficulties pop up?
I’m 31 and am the single mother of a young son (4 years). My ex left me 2 years ago for a younger woman he worked with. Despite this I went to school, worked and got into a nursing program at the local college. I was starting to feel like life was looking up, despite the fact that here I am still single and feeling lonely a lot 2 long years later. Then over the month long Christmas break my little sister, who I’ve been out of touch with (apart from a couple of late night depressed, drunken calls in the end) for the last few months due to a petty argument and then because of being so busy… commits suicide at the age of 25. We buried her a week before I went back to school.
I thought I was handling things okay despite everything that’s happened. But I ended up failing my first test of the semester and am having a hard time concentrating. I cannot do poorly! I have no other options right now. I must continue on with school, persevere and do well! I make $ 12 as a secretary and I cannot have something happen with school and end up trying to support my son on that again. My ex just got back in touch after being out of mine and my son’s life for 5 months because he was mixed up with meth and now has decided to get clean and come back into the picture.
I feel overwhelmed, lonely and spaced out due to the stress… tired and having difficulty concentrating on my studies.
So I’m wondering, If I’ve been praying and trying to live an obedient life… and God created all of these miracles for me (getting into this RN school which is very competitive and making it this far)… then why are things getting so impossibly overwhelming?? Where is God? Where’s his help and guidance now when I need him most? I thought God wasn’t supposed to give you more than you can bear?
I thought things were going to start looking up, and now this. What good could come from this? I’m trying to believe the “God works all things together for good…” but I don’t get it. And now, when I feel I’m calling out to him most and praying a ton, I hear nothing, feel nothing. I feel like he’s totally disconnected from me.
