<< I am in need of prayer.  I am losing faith and questioning everything I
 have ever believed in.  I guess I really still believe I am just really
 confused.  The reasons for my confusion are simple.  About six months
 ago my grandfather, (dad's dad) was diagnosed with lou gerics.  I
 couln't understand why this could happen.  We have prayed and he is
 doing better than he should be according to the doctors he should be
 dead, he is still up and walking.  I have finally accepted that God can
 allow sickness their is a reason for it then yesterday I found out my
 Granny, moms mom has colon cancer.  I was once again shaken to the very
 core of my belief.  please pray that God will help me get through this
 without giving up .

Let me encourage you by saying that God is not responsible for what has
happened to your family.  We man sinned in the garden, all of these awful
things where introduced into the human family, and if we turn to God in our
time of trouble we will grow in our understanding and experience to a closer
relationship with him. And really only God can confort us in these situations,
to give up is to serve the sin that is at the root of all of our plight.  So
hang in there is my prayer.
