Our faith often carries us through the hardest times of our lives, but what if the hard times cause you to lose faith? Ginny Dubose was terrified of raising her newborn baby, Danny, alone after her husband left her. She planned to leave Danny with her parents and take her own life. On the day of her plan, a coworker’s simple question changed her mind: how would Ginny’s parents explain to Danny why both of his parents left him? She realized that what she thought was a noble act was actually selfish. That night she prayed for help to raise her child. She was overcome with peace and knew she was going to be fine. The next day Ginny thanked her coworker for what he said, only to find out he hadn’t actually been at work that day. “But God had been,” Ginny says. “He had known the only words that could save me and my son.” The 101 contributors to Chicken Soup for the Soul: Finding My Faith (Chicken Soup for the Soul Publishing, LLC, October 16, 2012, 978-1935096955, $14.95), like Ginny, have struggled with their faith through difficult times in their lives, but eventually found it again through miraculous events.
