She's never lost her faith as a Catholic but she is so sad whenever I see her and speak with her. She says she has so many questions of "why" for God. I dont even know any more what to say or how to help her and I cant help but wonder myself...where is God at times?? Her life of faith is returned with all this remorse?? How has prayer helped her?? She prays but bad things just keep happening to this poor girl. Now, she lives with her aging mother and she has no time to herself. She says she feels so alone and trapped....I dont understand.

Thanks be to God! And to you Gary for doing the will of God. I believe it was C.S. Lewis that said, "Prayer doesn't change God, prayer changes me."
