Lose a substantial amount of money. A job. A relationship. Serious health problems in the family. All at once?

I asked where God was throughout it, but going on the fourth year of shite that just keeps compounding, I stopped that.

If so, how did you get through it?

12 steps bro. Doesn't have to be alcohol, you can substitute any bad habit/behavior in place of alcohol.

Changed my life

Life is up and down. Always remember it could be a lot worse.

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't God's grace essentially for those who put themselves in that position? 99% of this is not of my own doing.

I went through a rough divorce. Fortunately, my lawyer had great advice. "The best way to get over one chick, is to get under another."

ETA: Under.

You got this OP.

Hang in there brother - it will get better (with effort).

Prayers to you buddy. God has a plan for you and it might not seem like it now, but he heals all.

So, if God heals all, why would he destroy things to begin with? Isn't it like going to an orthopedic surgeon who broke both of your legs?

I am a Christian. I'm beginning to lose my faith, though, particularly in prayer.

I'll read the Bible. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. I haven't really had much joy in quite some time.

It's all about your perspective. When you think your life is bad go spend a day sitting in the surgery waiting room at a place like Children's Hospital... You will see in a few hours so many that are likely dealing with so much worse.

I always tell myself how things can be so much worse and I think about that and it helps. A good bible study group was invaluable to me when things were really bad.
