I'm struggling with my understanding of this loving God who's been my anchor all of my life. There are too many sadistic atrocities happening to innocents including children every day in this orphaned world. I find it sick and selfish and even 'sinful' to pray for things like my own well being and happiness (they seem trivial) when I know at this very moment there is a child is starving to death or in unbearable pain b/c of some terminal disease and the poor mothers who's spirits have died watching their little ones go through this. I know this sounds morbid but these things are happening everyday whether I tune it to the news or put down the paper. I just feel like "what's the point in praying for myself" or even them. People have been praying for milennia for this to stop and it doesn't appear to have made an impact in this world if history is any indicator. What would you say to someone who has lost faith in humanity and who's doubting, not the existance, but the love of God.
