Am I Being Punished?

[Marie-Therese]

I know intellectually that if things keep falling through, then it must mean that God has something better in store for me. But it is awfully hard to keep hanging on to nothing but that faith when it seems that everything is going wrong. If I don't get a job very soon, then I am probably going to lose my new house, have my car repossessed...everything I've worked for. I'm a single mom and now am desperately praying for God to give me some way to provide for my child.

God, I don't know if you're punishing me for something, but I am trying so hard to not lose faith. I know I may really stink at being good and faithful, but I do believe. Please help my unbelief.

O Maria, sine labe concepta, pro nobis ad Te recurrentibus ora!
