Thanks, Rawww(?)
That was a very encouraging response.
I know that I still have an extremely strong faith and a fairly strong sense of long term direction. It is just that prior to the meds I seemed to have a borderline-genius sensitivity to God, His Spirit and people's issues. It was way intense. I felt as if I was having third heaven revelations, incredibly deep and all the while I was extremely physically sick.
Now the meds have dampened that 'spiritual' high.I relate to Job greatly in many ways; I have spent much time in the book that bears his name. Job's journey in deep pain and sickness takes him from self-justification ("I hate God, he shouldn't make me suffer, I DESERVE better treatment) to God-justification ("I repent because I spoke of things I did not understand: i.e. God is master of this life in all things, not me).
I have gone through the same journey and my faith is a lot stronger because of it.bless you
