  • Why won't God help me right NOW?

    Let's get your comment ON AIR!

    Ever found yourself frustrated with the seemingly endless wait for divine intervention? You're not alone. Join me as I grapple with the impatience and disappointment that often accompany our desire for immediate answers to our prayers, especially in times of personal crisis like health issues, financial troubles, or relationship woes. We'll question the familiar church responses that lean heavily on scripture about God's timing and plans, and explore how these can sometimes feel more dismissive than comforting. Through my personal experiences, I hope to open up a space where you can acknowledge and express these complex emotions without guilt, and consider ways to share and understand them within your faith community.

    In our candid discussion, we confront the struggle of feeling disconnected from God during prolonged hardships, despite assurances that everything will eventually work out. I share my discomfort with the Christian community's tendency to offer scripture when empathy is needed, and the challenge of trusting in future resolutions when the present feels unbearable. Together, we'll explore alternative forms of support, such as journaling or finding groups that truly understand your journey, offering solace when spiritual and emotional needs aren't fully acknowledged. Let's walk this path together, seeking immediate answers and reassurance, while reminding ourselves that we are not alone in these feelings.
