I questioned God, feeling as though I was so unique that I could demand explanations from Him. I believed I had a special status that allowed me to hold God accountable for the events in my life and the lives of those around me. My faith made me think I was owed some certainty or reassurance about safety and happiness.
However, I realized that life is uncertain and never guaranteed a safe or happy outcome, regardless of faith. The belief that faith would ensure a perfect life was my misconception; life's challenges remain regardless of spiritual beliefs.
