“Our Deeply Rooted Faith Sustains Us”<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\n\t\t\t

Editor\u2019s Note: Jeanne Bishop shares a story about the aftermath of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.

How My Loss and a Good God Can Coexist<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\n\t\t\t

It\u2019s human nature to rebel against losing what defines us. Our deepest animal urges demand that we store up anything that sustains our sense of identity and helps us keep on living into our desired future.

\"RebeccaWhen You Beg God to Fix It and He Tells You to Be Still<\/h3>

By Rebecca SmithEvery time I looked at my left hand, it felt empty without that beautiful diamond ring we had picked out. I felt as if I had nothing left. God had stripped away the very thing I had been working so hard for. We were almost there. We had almost made it. And then it was all gone.I set aside some of those hurt feelings and the anger I felt at God and lay down on the nappy carpet of my California apartment. I knew that when times got really tough, we should cry out to God. So I picked up my Bible off my bedside table and started reading. Daily….\"Continue<\/a><\/p>\t\t\n
