Christians are not perfect, only Jesus is

God seem silent to develop your faith, I've heard that the book of Job can help, Job even regret being born and request death
Yes, I totally agree with what you said, "God seem silent to develop your faith".
During those terrible moment, we need to realize that the only solution is by Christ.

He suffered for us! Our suffering is but for a season! We are to rejoice in our suffering! I have had 3 failed marriages,my mom passed at 56 yrs old. My son passed 5 yrs ago at 36! I am well acquainted with grief. Praise Him,He is also and is tender and compassionate to us. Let NOTHING Rob you. Every victory builds your faith. You can make it..... Hold fast your profession of faith! Praying for your faith and all that confronts you!

sometimes i go through stuff i dont understand...and i have learned god uses that to mold me...i suggest going to the word of God and focus on his word...day and night...whatever his word says you speak it to yourself day and night...start saying i am blessed...i am rich...i am holy...i am obedient to God...i am highly favored by God...i listen to Gods voice and i always obey...start telling yourself positive stuff and you will see how your life is transformed...your mind is renewed...and the things you want start manifesting...just remember this order God wants you to go into your closet or a private place and spend time alone with him...go in more profound in prayer...go in deeper in prayer...secondly god wants us to obey and listen to his voice...3. is sacrifice ...perhaps you can sacrifice yourself by helping in areas he puts you in your local church. thats my suggestion but the most important is to be as close to God as possible until you get your breakthrough and it will come...once you get the holy spirit you will know God has come through for you

I have opened the door, thrown myself at his feet , begged Him to help, but things go from bad to worse, Job lost everything because of his faith, I feel that I have nothing, everything has been taken away including my health and my family, this baffles me, I imagine God sitting on His thrown watching this........ could you watch your child suffer this way.... I couldn’t and this is my dilemma.
No I couldn't. I would give my life for my children.

Isn't that EXACTLY what God did? We ALL view things from the point of view of this temporary life. God has eternity in mind, and spending it with YOU. "I KNOW my redeemer lives" THAT is the takeaway from Job, and how he was able to deal with his major adversities.
