Revelations from the many Seasons of Pain: My Conclusion (ePub)

People's credence of faith and religiosity have been observed to increase as a result of positive life events, and decrease following negative life events with only a few exceptional cases. When events such as illness or injury, divorce, and death of a loved one happen, participation and commitment in things of the faith get affected because such life experience seriously affects our sense of well-being, personal happiness, life satisfaction, and physical and emotional health.
Some of these changes are Bourne by the significance of maturational processes, social integration, and a sense of meaninglessness or irrelevance. There have been life events that have a very direct influence on religious belief and commitment making some believers re-evaluate prior "explanations of reality" especially when the functional view of religion is seen as a means to explain the unexplainable. Hence, when the unexplainable happens and present world views no longer provide an adequate explanation, individuals search for alternative explanations. Hence the popularity of books like When Bad Things Happen to Good People (Kushner 1981).
There would be some experience happening in the course of our mortal existence that can't be rationalized, even such experience as may cause our faith to crumble may be the order, serious support structures will be needed in these seasons so that we don't lose focus finally on the core of our belief, we just have to remember that there are overwhelming pieces of evidence that God exist, he loves us and he is seriously working in our favor. In such a season, there is no need for criticism but understanding and support from external sources and serious measures must be taken by close contacts not to worsen the situation, if you can't be helpful in any other way, pray for the affected person to have a Godly encounter.
Jesus said I come not for the saved but for those who are lost; so they can be rescued and brought into the kingdom of God. The purpose of this work is to encourage many going through pain, help them get more positive going through their temporary season of pain, and make them still believe in a loving God who created a wonderful universe. Everybody can learn some lessons from this to help our friends having some challenging seasons or bouts of pain. Every nation or individual has the foresight to prepare for war in a time of peace. Irrespective of how different/similar our experiences of pain/loss/suffering are, it is important that we enjoy life and not suffer in whatever season we find ourselves.
