The emotions start working on you. The Whys and those doubts that things
Aren't going to get any better... Those emotions.
Like the times I ask why didn't God prevent my husband from losing
His leg or why didn't the first skin graft take?
Miraculous events happening in far away places but not here where we live?
I try to stay strong and then another set back occurs and I'm back to the whys again.
Emotions drive me especially on the set back days when things go sideways... I still pray
And read the Bible... I need to know that God is still there even when I can't understand what in the world is going on --- I have to read about others in the scriptures faced those hard times... For example poor ol' Job lost so much - but he hung in there, who would want to trade places with him?
When you're going through the emotions and talking about the negative things - many of us have learned that sharing that type of personal information with friends can spell even more trouble - they will be the ones to kick us when we are down and reprimand us for unloading those inner emotions... Their responses are those of people who believe it's wrong to talk like that... Or they will question our faith. It's not that we don't believe, it's the unknown that we are uncertain of... How long will this tribulation last? Will I have any friends or money left if this situation lasts longer than a few weeks or a month? Not to mention those times when it seems like my prayers are just hitting the ceiling and falling to the floor. I can tell you this... There are times when you don't feel that the Lord is near you... That is the time when you need to trust in His Word... Not your EMOTIONS.
