Loving God has been the driving force of my adult life. But in recent years, my happy, well-ordered life has fallen apart, and I’ve struggled with doubts and questions that I never dreamed I would have. To keep praying, I have had to wrestle with deep faith issues.

A few years ago, our son moved back home to get clean. I like giving God suggestions, so I came up with the perfect solution to help my son.  I prayed that no matter what, he would not be able to find heroin. I knew God wouldn’t force him to stay clean, but I thought God could dry up the supply so if tempted to relapse he wouldn’t be able to find heroin.
