Dear Sister
wren51, I personally do not know of any in Christ that haven't come to the point in life you're facing. Somehow it seems to draw us to God on a level previously unknown to us. When all else fails, call on God huh? I do know its's more than that, and we read in Rom 8:18, For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Then we read in Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Easy to say in a storm huh?)
And last for the moment is:
1Pe 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
1Pe 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
At one of the lowest points in my life when seeking for answers I wrote the following pamphlet I hope will give you comfort.

Dear Father, please come in with healing to the problems this dear sister is facing, and bring the peace she so needs as she faces things beyond her capacity to even cope at times. Bless her ways as You lead her into feeling the joy of her salvation, and I thank You for it to Your glory in Jesus' name. Amen.
