Here are some thoughts:
Christianity is not an easy thing. When things are going our way, we tend to pray when we want, and go to church when it is convenient. However, when things are hard, we complain a lot, but that is when we are the most faithful to our reading and our praying. Hopefully at some point we can mature and come to a realization that God is there through the good and through the bad.
Who grows with out pain and struggle? It is in those struggling momements where you start to question your faith that you tend to grow the most (assuming you made it through those moments). It is even harder to stay focused on him when we can't understand why some of this pain has seeped into our lives. However, at what point does God lose control? Never.
In the book of Isaiah there are a lot of prophesies about the downfall of a lot of nations. Though we are not nations, we are people and a church body. There will come a day where you may feel God has turned his face from you, and has become deaf to your prayer. So do you quit worshiping? praying? or beliving? No. Rather you do them all with extra effort and extra love (as hard as that is to do). Rather than worshiping God for now (which you may not understand) worship God for who he is, and his amazing love. It is much easier to focus on the good than the bad. At the end of the day, when it is all said and done, you can look back, smile and say I learned a lot, rather than quitting.
