I know how you feel and I don't. I've felt completely abandoned by God before but I continue to pray anyway. I don't understand why it is that you do all the right things but everything goes wrong anyway. There are theological answers but my personal answer is, pray anyway. In 5 years you might just say, :that was the turning point of my life" about this year, this month, today. And it might just be because of Karma. I wish Karma was instant, but it isn't always.
BTW I asked a former priest "why are supposed to give our suffering to G-d? Why would we do that, and isn't that a bad thing to do? Shouldn't I deal with my problems and carry my pain myself?" and he said "what else can you give G-d? Is there anything you can give G-d that he doesn't already have or have given you? All you can do is give him your pain. He wants it like aparent wants to envelope their child's pain and take it as their own. Just a thought, not necessarily mine but a thought.
PS I'm not Christian or Athiest

I can pray. Do you have a relationship with the Lord,if you don't then you need to find Jesus. He is the only one that can make things better in your life. Life is not easy, especially the way things are today. I accepted Jesus in my life when I was at the end of my rope. Don't get me wrong it doesn't mean that you will never have hard times it just means that Jesus can bring you through the hard times. When you have no one else to turn to Jesus will always be there for you. He is your savior, friend, companion, and all that you need. Jesus promises in his word that he will never leave you nor forsake you. If Jesus is your personal savior, hang in there, trust in him, and know that the problems are already being solved.

Hi.., I understand how it feels to lose hope since Ive been to that situation just a month ago. I feel alone and nobody cares. The turning point came when a friend accompanied me to church to hear mass and I felt like the homily of the priest about the gospel was all directed to me. I began to think that God personalized His message to me so I won't feel I'm alone.
I really don't know if this message of mine will help. Rest assured that I will include you in my prayers. Just remember that God answers our prayers. It may not be the YES we wanted but for sure it is best for us and He intends to make us learn a lesson..
GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Life is cyclical that way.. things go terribly wrong and then the light is seen at the end of the tunnel, and you go through a period of good times. It happens to us all.
I pray that your time of suffering is short and that you see blessings and peace come your way very soon.

":Life is difficult. If you understand that, everything else is easy!"
M.Scott Peck (from the Road Less Travelled)
Life comes to us cycles of hardship and peace. It is a test of your endurance. Don't let the troubles change who you are. Stay optimistic. Do you best always. Consider all in your decisions. God will answer your prayers, but in his own time. Try to find a lesson in all of it. It will be there for you...
I have grown more during times of stress than I ever could have in times of peace and contentment.
I will pray for guidance for you...

Yes I will but before we start I want you and your husband to pray the following prayer:
Lord Jesus I admit that I am a sinner for all have sinned and have fallen short of the Glory of God.
Now I will pray.
Father God I come to you in the name of Your Sons Jesus Christ. These two people have made you King of their lives today.
I ask you today Lord Jesus to come into my heart and be the head of my house and life.
I acknowledge that without you I am nothing and I know that your Word says that we should be born again (John 3:3) read)
Wash me with your precious blood and forgive all my sins and past mistakes. I believe with my heart and confess with my month that Jesus Christ is Lord. I believe that right now I a saved. In Jesus Name, Amen. Jesus you are no longer out of their lives but you are sitting on the thrown of their heart. Lord I just lift up this couple in front of you and I ask that you will super naturally intervene in their lives and give them clear direction on what it is that You want them to do. Lord I don't know the details but God you know all. Right now I pray that you will meet their financial, emotional and spiritual needs for You O' Lord has come so that we may have life and life abundantly. I believe Lord that you hear me now and that you have already supplied all their needs. Help them Lord to grow in their faith. I pray in Jesus name and we all say Amen. (which means so be it>

"I am about at the end of the rope" could mean a lot...but I am with you in prayer. May the good God cushion your challenges with every grace from heaven in Christ Jesus, Amen.

Stop judging the things that are happening and categorizing them as either good or bad. Recognize that everything that comes to you is a gift and concentrate on understanding what it is that these situations can teach you.
Love and blessings Don
