Interesting thoughts. It seems my struggle with the belief in God isn’t so much when life is okay, it is definitely present when life is not. It is difficult for me to understand and accept the why the higher power would allow this to happen. I continue to say The Serenity Prayer in order to provide me some peace, and still try and seek answers. So far, to no avail. Shabbat Shalom and hugs and love to your sweet family! ❤️✡️Zeta
That's where the work happens. I think moving away from thinking of God as arbitrarily deciding when and when not to intervene is theologically useful. When the Kabbalists talk about God as creating the world and then leaving it up to us to figure it out, it allowed me to realize God's presence was still everywhere but not that God had a hand in EVERYTHING that was happening, if that makes sense.
Strong, especially that story at the top.
I'll pass along the message to the story writer :-)

We've chatted about this before I think!
