Dear diary,
Last night a tragic event struck my whole country, leaving us
hopeless with everything lost. All of my possessions, work and friends were
gone. I had never experienced such pain, fear and sorrow in my whole life, I couldn’t
help but question why God wasn’t there in this time of need. I prayed every
night that this earthquake would end but God didn’t seem to respond to me. The
earthquake wiped out most of my village leaving me questioning my faith in God,
why would he do this to me? As a catholic I believe that god is omnipotent, omniscient
and omnibenevolent but this can’t be true after what happened.
If God is meant to be all loving why did he do this to me and
my family? What the church says every week doesn’t add up when events such as
these happen very often. I have always been a strong believer in God but after
what happened I can’t see me ever going back to the catholic faith. Some people
say that everyone must die and God has a plan, but why would he make us die under
these circumstances? Everything I have is gone and God hasn’t done anything to
help me through these difficult times. I will carry on praying in hope that he
will eventually answer my prayers.

A great post well done! You have captured the sense of loss well. It would be interesting to hear about how your character felt a months on?
