The challenge has been for me to be patient through the storms and do my best to remain hopeful. Symptoms can become so difficult and debilitating that I feel I have very little patience and faith. I find that I have to let out all of my tears and frustrations, then do my best to move to a place of faith again. This isn't easy, and I find I have to be patient with myself.
During the stormy times, my prayers turn into frustrated, begging type pleadings, but I think it's ok. It's during these times that I try to rely on the faith and prayers of others. Eventually the storm seems to pass and I somehow manage to find faith again, although sometimes it takes much longer than I would like. :)
