I've been having an extremely difficult time lately. My faith has been slipping. And that seems small compared to everything else.

I broke my foot. I sprained my opposite ankle 2 days before the appt for my foot. I woke up blind in one eye all over the course of a week. That was the end of August.

My vision has been here for a week and gone for two- a never-ending nerve-wrecking process.

When my vision went again last Tues, I hit my broken foot head on on our staircase. The clumsiness is something that doesn't stop because as soon as my mind adjusts to seeing or not seeing the vision comes or goes again.

When I hit that foot I messed up my achilles tendon and my doc said I literally sprained every ligament in my foot and ankle. He had to put emphasis on the literally because at this point all I could do to survive was laugh.

I'm 19 by the way. I can't see. I can't walk. And I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia last month. I feel like a 90 year old woman. My grandma who has a bad back has been pushing me around in a wheel chair and its so frustrating.

Okay this post is getting off topic.

My faith is almost gone. What little bit that is left has been coming and going at the snap of the moment. I used to be a VERY strong Christian. One of the elders in my (at the time) church told me that I was "the closest to God she had ever seen." I was 12. I was a leader in the church from age 15, my experience ranging from student and special needs ministry to crisis counseling and preaching. I'm 19 and I have all of this experience and all of this knowledge.

I've told people for years that everything in life is a choice. its all about perspective. All you have to do is believe to receive. And these thing are all VERY true.

But right now I can't find my way back. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but this time... this time I need help.

Please help me.

First off, I'd have to say WOW! Just one thing after another. that's how it usually happens. The devil was really at work. Secondly, I can say that I can relate to you when it comes to the faith wearing thin. I've been going through it for some years as well trying to find my way back just like you. You have help from people on here and I'm sure your family as well. What I will say is as bad as things get God always has his hand on you. Sometimes it may be hard to see but rest assured he is always there. You mentioned that at the age of 12 you were a really strong Christian which is amazing considering that kids at that age don't think too much into being a strong level headed Christian. You were extremely capable of being that way once before and I know that you can get back there again. It's going to take some time but as long as you know that God is on your side and he will never give up on you, anything is possible.

I pray that he hears your prayers and your calls. I will surely pray for you as well. In the name of Jesus, no weapon formed against you shall prosper for greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

Healing will come soon. Trust in him and you shall see.

@W2L Yeah, Scripture does say that.
But if you can't pull it off, you're double depressed and feel even further removed from God.
Or maybe that's just how it works for me..

@Neckelehamiah
I'm sorry you have to experience these things.
I can imagine you feel desperate.
None the less, hard times tend to eventually strengthen the faith, although i can imagine it does not feel like it will at the moment, at all...
I have no advise for you. I'm sorry you have to suffer.
I'm sorry anyone has to suffer.

Dear sister I prayed for you and for recovery and healing. It is at our lowest moments the greatest happens. It is a time when we hit rock bottom that is the place to be on the Rock.

Praise Him! Tell Jesus how much you love and trust Him no matter the situation.

Rejoice in His creation. Rejoice in His salvation. Rejoice in knowing the Father spared not His Beloved Son in Whom He is well pleased, and that was done for us. Praise Him and rejoice in His coming for His saints when He will be our King in Glory. Praise Him.

Praise God He is using you to help special needs children. Oh sister our King in Heaven rejoice at these works which are the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

You are being pruned and forged to be stronger than you are now if that could be possible. He is preparing you for more fruit.

You are a tenacious young lady and I would be proud to be your father or uncle. You hang in there help is certainly on the way so keep strong in the faith of your youth. Hug the cross of Christ get those splinters in your hands as you gaze on the empty tomb knowing your King wore a crown of thorns but is now seated in Glory risen and glorified and he promises that we too will be like Him. He is faithful and true and keeps all His promises.

It all starts by praising Him and rejoicing in His Finished Work.

Let us also remember the people of great faith as shown in Hebrews 11:

The Triumphs of Faith

1Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2For by it the men of old gained approval.

3By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. 4By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. 5By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God. 6And without faith it is impossible to please Him,for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. 7By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

8By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; 10for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. 11By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised. 12Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN IN NUMBER, AND INNUMERABLE AS THE SAND WHICH IS BY THE SEASHORE.

13All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 14For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. 15And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.

17By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son; 18it was he to whom it was said, “IN ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE CALLED.” 19He considered that God is able to raise people even from the dead, from which he also received him back as a type.20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come. 21By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff. 22By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones.

23By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. 24By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 26considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward. 27By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen. 28By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them. 29By faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; and the Egyptians, when they attempted it, were drowned.

30By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. 31By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.

32And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, 33who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts ofrighteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions,34quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. 35Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection; 36and others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment. 37They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were put to death with the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated 38(men of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground.

39And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised, 40because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect.

If I can oversimplify your very real concerns for a minute.

How much better off will you be if you give up your faith?

Sorry to hear about all that. Sometimes God's faithful get tough tests. I'm reminded of how my grandfather's faith was great and how he was tested by his deteriorating health. He was active, but was then bound to a wheelchair. He loved to read, but then his vision began to go. He continued to inspire people during that long slide, despite it. Not that he was trying to inspire people; what he was trying to do was live, and that inspired people. He held on, you can too.

As to your faith beginning to wane - why should it? What parts of the Apostle's Creed do your life experiences contradict?

@Neckelehamiah, I've had cancer twice, have profound healing loss, bipolar disorder II, depression, am isolated, and much more over the course of decades. I just want you to know that you aren't alone. There wasn't much anyone could say to me when I was at my lowest that made a difference for long, but the encouragement people gave me helped me for the day.

There is very good reason to hope in God. He is real and a lot of followers of Christ know it (John 14:21). He loves you and will yet bless you, and judging from what you say, He will bless you a lot in the future. He isn't the only one who loves you. There is a lot of suffering in this world and most people at your church have suffered and would comfort you if they could. A lot of people don't know what they can do, although some will pray for you. But you can ask for help with things you struggle with due to your illnesses and symptoms—and keep asking. It's their job in God's sight to help you; don't feel like you're being any trouble to them. God will bless them through helping you. Something that really does give some comfort is experiencing how much people are willing to help. The effect of experiencing that people care can be comforting for a lot longer than the day. Be sure to ask them for help with specific things.

I have discovered (when I'm not in pain) that the Lord has made use of everything that has happened to me for good for me (Romans 8:28)—things I am really thankful for. I also discovered that when I'm in pain is not the time I learn God loves me (which reminds me of Romans 12:15). It is the time to hold on to God as best I can.

I am now completely free of the worst pain and most of my days are good. While the Lord may not seem to be fast enough in healing you, what is priceless to you for the long-term is to keep after the Lord for healing and help (Luke 18:1-8). We do not have a God who is far off. Apart from what He does, recognize what He is like: He desires to heal you (but doesn't ignore the effects of our sinful world for good reasons).

Well now, I have no idea why you say that everything in life be a choice...'cause that not be true.... things happen and a body can be afflicted and
or injured by someone or something else.
Perspective? yeah it there, whether you walking or not, my husband know that
for sure, because he had surgery back in the summer and he spent 3 months in a wheelchair not knowing if he'd be able to walk again or not.
He focused on doing what he could.
Thanks be to God, my husband is walking and was able to return to his job.

We continued being ambassadors of the Lord, my husband conducted the mens group at church and we'd go visit other shut-ins.
Our faith be in God and He see us through all circumstances; whether He heals us in this life or not, we still serve Him and trust in Him because His Word reveals He will provide for our needs.
Christ be our Lord and Savior whether we sick or not, HE keeps us
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within "us", will continue
His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

I’m afraid I don’t have any great advice for you, except to say I understand times of very low and no faith from struggles with my own health that drove me to that point. I have been there. I’m really sorry you’re having such an awful time and sorry I can give no good advice, but I can, and will, keep you in my prayers.

Please know you are not alone. Everyone needs help at times.

My dear, you are looking in the wrong direction for help. You have a heart issue at the moment and that is God's domain. Your physical challenges it seems have exposed where you're really at with God. I suspect this was, at least in part, what God has intended to do through your pain. He often uses such circumstances to give us clarity about how things actually are between us and Him.

I used to be a gym rat (35 years). I also used to be a martial arts teacher (30 years). Only a few years ago I had to give up both completely. My back is a mess, you see, and has been debilitating for the last four years now. I've had to use a cane. I must sometimes lay on my back for a week, unable to move, peeing in a bottle. Not fun. I used to be a very strong guy. I used to throw people around like stuffed toys. And now, I couldn't lift an anorexic chihuahua.

I could let all this rock my faith, I guess. But what would be the point? Would rejecting God fix my back? No. Would it make my pain more bearable? No. It seems pretty obvious to me that, without God, life's many troubles are entirely pointless; just unhappy accidents without anything to teach me, without any potential eternal value. Without God, life hurts and then I die.

With God, though, I see that in everything that happens, God has a life-changing, eternal purpose. In all I encounter in life, God is always intending to make me more like Jesus (Romans 8:29) - if I'll let Him. The beauty and excellence of Jesus can issue from my life if, instead of railing against God when I am in pain, I lean on Him, trust Him, and submit to Him transforming me in the midst of my trouble. And when I do, pain becomes a gift, a divine means of crowding me close to the only One who can make me like my Saviour and Lord.

So, how about you? Will you see your trouble as a cause to reject God? Or as a gift from Him that will yield life-changing, eternal dividends?

I'm 19 and I have all of this experience and all of this knowledge.

I've told people for years that everything in life is a choice. its all about perspective. All you have to do is believe to receive. And these thing are all VERY true.

But right now I can't find my way back. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but this time... this time I need help.

Please help me.

Well I can't help you..... If I had a way to do it, I would.

I will say that you are clearly very bright, lovely, and you seem to have a great heart. This is a sin cursed world. Nothing works the way we want.

But G-d has not left you. Whatever your future hold, he will be there with you through it all.

Nothing in my life has worked out how I wanted it. Nevertheless, no matter how sucky it has been... G-d has always been there. He's never left.

In the end, he won't let you just fall into oblivion, and we will all be in Heaven where there is no sprained ankles, and fibromyalgia.

Yeah, it might be a little frustrating until then... but you are not alone. Life is frustrating. Wouldn't it be great if Heaven was done here, instead of up there? Sure. But until then, you'll just have to keep smiling and remember this..... The pain is temporary. It is. It will end.

I just tell myself all the time.... G-d is still on his royal throne. I hope that makes you smile, the way it makes me smile. :)

How are you travelling now, @Neckelehamiah ?

I am doing a lot better now. I can see again- to make a long story short, it was a miracle on the spot with a prayer team member at a local church. He spent about 20 minutes praying over me fiercely. He told me to take the patch off and I refused, scared out of my witts. You know how you get those Holy Spirit urges? And they just get stronger and stronger until you choose not to ignore Him? Yeah, I let it go on until I couldn't stand the Spirit's urges and I took the patch off and I could see. Praise God!

My ankle is still in the healing process and my foot is still broken - its hardly healed at all. I am supposed to get a bone stimulator this week sometime. Hopefully it will help. The foot doc said this is a second break- that the first time it never healed. The first time I was 10 or 11 and broke my foot while practicing my dance routine (I was a competitive dancer when I was younger). I lived in an abusive home then and my mom didn't take care of it. I literally had to drag ,myself up the basement stairs because no one would help me. Yup, fun times.

But I'm good now- great actually! Thanks so much for asking!

God bless you all. And thank you so much for your prayers and support!!

I'm glad to hear things have improved and thanks and blessings to Paidiske for checking in. I pray for healing and resetting of your bones in the name of Jesus Christ. This man Everett Cox has an online deliverance and healing video that I've found helpful (Self Ministry: Your Online Guide To Home Based Ministry | Deliverance Ministries). The healing part starts at around 1:40 in I believe the Step 5 video on the webpage. He specifically prays for adjustment and general healing. I don't usually advocate online healing videos but I personally believe the man has the Holy Spirit but please pray over it yourself.
