Everythings not lost

The concept of faith in general.. without catering to any particular religion or belief..you dont have to be pious to get this..

"Sometimes God withdraws a particular blessing from someone so that the person can comprehend Him as something other than a being of whom one asks favours and make requests. He knows how far he can test a soul, and never goes beyond that point. At such moments we must never say, "God has abandoned me." He will never do that, even though we may sometimes abandon Him.If the Lord sets us a great test, he always gives us sufficient- I would say more than sufficient- grace to pass the test."

"It is important to accept one's passions, and not to lose one's enthusiasm for conquests....... there comes a moment however when his passions suddenly dissapear. Despite all his knowledge, he allows himself to be overwhelmed by despair :things do not happen as he dreamed they would, tragedies occur in unfair and unexpected ways, and he begins to believe that his prayers are not being heeded..He continues to pray and to attend religous services but he cannot deceive himself; his heart does not respond as it once did, and the words seem meaningless. At such a moment, there is only one possible path to follow: keep practising. Say your prayers out of duty or out of fear, or for some other reason, but keep praying. Keep on, even if it all seems in vain.

The angel in charge of receiving your words, and who is also responsible for the joy of faith, has wandered off somewhere. However, he will soon be back and will only know where to find you if he or she hears a prayer or a request from your lips.
