I could not help but think of the story about Job when i read your comment.

God led me to read the last five chapters of Job this morning. In my case, I've been unemployed the past eight months and watching my savings dwindle away.

I understand the whole point was to draw me into a deeper relationship with God but I'm so ready to move on and yet I am left to wait and my patience and faith are being tested more than I can sometimes bear. I know He is in control.

In this thread, my point is that I understand those who fall away but I understood when I accepted Christ that my life apart from Him was already pointless. Now I'm suffering hardship and sometimes not handling it very well.

Thank you, all, for your words.

I would believe your patience is being tested for sure, but your faith? it don,t sound like it to me.

Good luck
