Starting to loose any faith that i have

Hi, i just wanted to let this off my chest i grew up in a catholic home so it has been instilled in me to pray and have faith that god can heal you if you just believe so that's all i have been doing and i have had this problem science i was twenty i'm now thirty three and still the problem isn't any better.I am starting to doubt that god doesn't even exists because why would he allow anyone to go through life with this much pain.Before i knew that there were many other's with the same thing that i have i used to think that mybe i was being punished maybe i just wasn't a good enough person . I am starting to think that the whole believing in god thing is a load of crap !Maybe my life is just cursed.

I'm not religious so I don't get the whole praying to get better and nothing else nor can I tell you if believing in god is a load of crap but it can't hurt to pray and look into treatments, it's a very real physical problem with various causes and options and not a punishment for anything, plenty of women who do only good things get it and other health issues and plenty of women who do plenty of bad don't get anything wrong with them. In my opinion health isn't a religious matter but if you have a faith praying can't hurt.

Hi you know I am a Christian. I fully believe in the power of prayer. Prayer does help, it has helped me. I have even witnessed people being healed. I am also starting to feel that I too am receiving healing. I'm finally starting to feel better after almost a year of dealing with this. Keep praying- God hears you. and when in doubt attend your church, God will answer you and your questions when you really focus- it may take time... don't expect a miracle over night... but miracles can and do happen.

I truly believe that all prayer is answered, but sometimes the answer is not the one we want. I do not believe any of us are being punished. I personally believe that God is only good, and that God suffers and hurts with us as we suffer and hurt. I also believe God is whispering comfort and inspiration in your heart right now. I believe God is rooting for you to develop strength from your pain, to find doctors and people to help you, to learn to take care of your body to the best of your ability and to love it as it is. I believe prayer and meditation can only help you, and that in the fullness of time you will have the answer you seek and you will be at peace with that answer. This may be full physical, emotional and spiritual healing. This may be partial physical healing and full spiritual healing. Whatever it is, I believe you are being led to your greatest good and deepest healing.

I have had vulvar pain for almost 30 years. For about 6 years it was so severe it was disabling. For about ten of those years it was very painful, but I kept living and trying to enjoy what I could in life. For the other 14 years, it has been okay. I have pain with intercourse, but I live a full, normal life otherwise with very little day-to-day pain. For awhile I was very angry about how long I suffered and that I have never had pleasurable intercourse. I also felt that somehow it was my fault. I have gone through many crisis of faith. But I now believe my prayers have been answered and are still being answered. I have grown closer to God. I have learned to be assertive and strong. I have learned to care for my body and be it's number one advocate. I have come to believe my body is a temple and God's temple is not flawed, but perfect in this expression. This growth in faith and belief has been hard-won, with lots of prayer, meditation and spiritual study (I grew up in the Disciples of Christ Church--a common protestant denomination in the Mid-west United States, and have since switched to Unity because it was a better fit for my beliefs. I would now describe myself as a Christian mystic, although I find comfort in many mystical traditions.) I know you are surrounded by God's love in all that you do. God loves you and wants only good for you. Open your heart to God and listen for guidance. I truly believe if you keep following the guidance God places in your heart during your prayer and meditation times that you will be led to an answer to your prayers.
Deepest and warmest blessings,
Heidi
