Restoring Faith After a Challenge to It

[John V]

So you were hostile because God's solution for you wasn't one you liked, but later you came to accept it and see it was the right solution?

That's fairly accurate. Again, I intellectually accepted that it was correct at the time - god would obviously know better than man. I rejected it emotionally.

Yes, certainly your faith was strengthened, or yes, certainly you'll comment on it?

My faith was strengthened, and also that of the other person involved.

This is helpful to me. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Biblically, it's interesting to read David's "How long..." psalms. He was suffering, and knew god could end that suffering right then, and he wasn't happy about it. But after complaining, he's forced to admit that God is good and knows better than man.
