Text Version

I have had many conversations over the years with people that felt ripped off by life and therefore were mad at God.   Because of personal challenges and severe circumstances they have decided that God was not worthy of their love or attention. However, I disagree with that.  I have experienced challenges in my life as well.  I have had people mistreat me and I have been delivered depressing news, but those things do not change my view of God.  

Even when life is not perfect…God is.  When I can’t find comforting answers to appease my questions, that does not mean that God has lost control.  I know that God is still good.  He is still loving, and He is still on my side.  When I am faced with challenges, I pray.  Sometimes he has changed the circumstances and made them easier to deal with while other times he has just given me peace in the midst of the storm and surrounded me with his presence, but He has never left me alone, and He will never leave you alone either.  

So, the next time you feel that life has ripped you off and God has let you down, take a deep breath and realize that God is still right there next to you ready to help you cope.  You can pray and ask him to change the details of whatever it is that you are facing, but even if that takes time, ask Him for peace to make it through.      © 2007 Champion Ministries dba Groundwire
