    Dear Bobbie, thank you for joining our group. By joining you show that you love God and want to understand his purposes. I can see why you are questioning what you have been told about God's plan. Please read page 26 of the WATCHTOWER magazine at this LINK.  It is a discussion about predestination or the notion that God determins the death day for humans. I hope you find it helpful.

    Dear Bobbie,

    The reason I started this group is because it seemed to me that many of those grieving had been told and even taught so many different philosophies and theories that their faith in God had been severely challenged if not destroyed by the death of a loved one. You have been told that God "predetermines" the day of our death. If that were true, I couldn't have any faith in God either. No wonder your faith has been shaken. I know I sent you a link already but I found another article that I think will really help. Please read on line The Bible’s Viewpoint Is Your Life Predestined?

    Please let me know what you think after reading the article here or private message me. (((((HUGS)))))

    I have always been a person who believed in the power of prayer. But lately, after losing my job, losing my father and then losing my boyfriend to another woman. I feel my prayors are falling on deaf ears. I feel like Im begging God & Jesus for some peace and clarity and Im not getting it. All I do is cry, ponder and still pray but feel so silly. Last night I even cursed God because I was so frustrated with hearing pray and give it to God. If he doesn't want it what am I to do? Any suggestions to combat these horrible feelings?

    Angela,

    First, your prayers never fall on deaf ears. God cares for us individually and promises to help. Isaiah 41:10

    Mayberry you will get a measure of comfort from reading the Watchtower magazine 1/2014 issue at this link: http://m.wol.jw.org/en/wol/lv/r1/lp-e/0/11843

    I would love to talk over the phone and I will give you my phone number if you private message me or email me at mawmaw1591@gmail.com

    You are experiences too many losses at one time - you need a friend to help you carry the load.
