Have you ever just said to the Great Spirit "WHY!!!" or " WHY ME!!!"

I am having a hard time spiritually lately, and find myself floundering sort of.. I feel detached, some things that are happening just don't feel fair, and i feel myself saying " WHY ME SPIRIT" at the top of my lungs.

(((Bowzz)))) im so sorry youre having this difficult time right now... i know at times ive asked the same question.. its truly difficult to trust that what is happening could have any good meaning at times... try to think of on thing when it is so hard and you feel like you cant take more.. try to imagine how absolutely great it will be once this current trouble has passed... if you can, try to treasure every moment of peace you've had in the past and pray for more of those and less of this (current trouble) ..

Spirit, or God, or the Great One hears all pleas from all... i think the more sincere we feel the prayer in our hearts, the more impact it may have upon Spirit... it may send such a deep and powerful connection to the Spirit that IS that the help you need goes deeply into your core being and slowly begins to spread outwards into every part of your life... sometimes such deep emotional waves take time to develop and expand... it is necessary we keep that healing spirit alive within us for it to work... i will keep praying for you, dont give up the faith...

It's times like that we grow a lot emotionally and spiritually, because after we emerge from the tough spot ... we're a different & changed person, and usually quite a lot happier for it.

But in the mean time, it's sure hard. My advice... pray. Meditate. Breathe. Seek out understanding community and friends.

The Higher Power (or God, Great Spirit etc) works through us and others to help us get to where we're wanted to be. Sometimes it's not too fun waiting, and sometimes it's hard because life is hard and you feel disconnected and picked on ... life is very seldom easy or fair it seems at times.

PM me anytime to chat Love ya lots.

You remind me of the last stanza of Kermit's "It's Not Easy Being Green" I figure there's some reason somewhere for why things happen the way they do.

It's not that easy being green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that

It's not easy being green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky

But green's the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean, or important
Like a mountain, or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be

We learn more from hard experiences than I think happy good things.

This is a hard question Rainbow...actually harder than"Why not me?..but just as difficult to answer.

Questions of fate or destiny or even serendipity are generally poised from a point of disadvantage because they are self centered and that means ego is involved. From ego,,comes judgement and judgement generally surrounds fear. Fear always defines us as a victim. I seldom use the word always.

Things happen because they do and our points of control are before events,,not after. We find ourselves asking these questions of the result and often avoid the process that put us there...

But once there,,I often put myself in a place where I can effect the outcome for another soul...by offereing help to them. I will volunteer in a hospitol or rehab or advise in a detention facility.

I get two things from this excercise.

One...gratitude,,for I witness circumstances far worse than mine.

And two,,when I'm thinking of another person,,I am not thinking of me...

I hope your view of your destiny improves...It is hard to face new events when we feel we were treated unjustly in our past ones..

With care,

Lenny

Thank you all for your thoughts.

some things that happen to us do really and truly suck!

period!

no rhyme or reason, on the surface or if at all

everything depends on the source of a really terrible experience, and lots cannot be known about why it is happening to us quite yet .. that is why we have research for things beyond our control.

things within our control, of course, are how we will respond to the crappy thing happening to us.

i hope we all find the strength in times of great difficulty to respond in a loving manner that can help us - our most positive approach.

as I said, I think it's where we have the power, in our response!

peace and love, Dear Person
night

I love the Kermit song. I had forgotten about that. I attended a funeral today and the priest said that he's sure several of her family members were asking why she had to get cancer, why she couldn't beat it, why she had to die. He said he's sure Bonnie asked why at first, but he knows that today she isn't asking why--she's thankful. As we all should be. Thankful that God lent her to us for the time she was here. Why she had to get cancer? Who knows what people she touched with her experiences, that if she wouldn't have had cancer she may not have impacted those people. I was crying and then crying harder because I felt selfish--if this wonderful lady, this teacher of mine from more than 20 years ago--if she wouldn't have died, I wouldn't be standing in that church remember the lessons she taught me about living my life, about it being ok to be me and the other things she taught me. I'm not saying the "why" to her dying was because of me, but the "why" is that it's not only happening to you. For instance, why do you have to suffer with whatever it is that drove you to find pc? Maybe so that others have the gift of your wisdom, loving and caring. I hope that makes sense.

you said
"Maybe so that others have the gift of your wisdom, loving and caring. I hope that makes sense"

LIfe is a path somethimes of why's? Why does one one thing happen to one and not another,,,,,,only spirit knows that....its guides us along our way....and we all gain hope.....
Your very right sharing our wisdom in a loving and caring way is so correct
