Pray for me!

[Darknlovely504]

Sometimes, I get mad at God for all I'm going through in life. I need a break from it All and I haven't gotten any peace yet.

[Hidden]

I will pray for you. 🙏❤️

Would it help to take some time in a quiet church for thought and guidance ?...

[Darknlovely504 in reply to Shadow123-]

I don't know if it would I'll try it out.

I feel that way sometimes too. It is not God who it letting these bad things happen. Read your inspirational scripts in the Bible it will help.

[Darknlovely504 in reply to Hidden]

Ok I will

[cruin]

I have felt the same way before. I use to think of myself as a very spiritual woman, full of faith. Until I had my life turned upside down. I couldn't pray and didn't go to church. I wanted nothing to do with God or anyone else for that matter. I felt very let down by him until recently. I'm realizing he allows certain things to happen for a reason. He wants the very best for me. Also I have made some bad choses in life which resulted in bad consequences. It was because I wasn't emotionally healthy enough to realize what I was doing. It's hard to see things sometimes when you are in the inside, going through it. Then once it's over your eyes are opened. Hope I'm making sense.

I will pray for you 😊

I feel the same as u because I see people who live in church and pray often still get sick and die or go crazy so that's why I don't have any faith life is a B for sure too much goes on I can't deal with it all. Thank u

God is bigger than any anger you have. God loves you and is infinitely patient. Don’t get discouraged. Children get angry with parents but it doesn’t stop parents from loving and caring for them. Trust in God. It’s ok to be angry and ask why. God respects free will.

[Darknlovely504 in reply to Hidden]

I just wish I saw it I just don't have the faith and power to help myself I just don't want to try anymore

[Hidden in reply to Darknlovely504]

Sometimes we will experience dry spells in the spiritual life. They are called dark nights of the soul. When God feels distant and we can’t pray or even find comfort in the Holy Scriptures. It is a necessary step for spiritual growth. God is calling you to step out of your comfort zone. Out into the desert. The desert is void of comforts. So it is with the spiritual life when we enter the desert. Don’t get discouraged. God is calling you to a deeper relationship with him.

[Darknlovely504 in reply to Hidden]

I will keep that in mind. Thank u

Hi! I love your name Darknlovely!! I have good news for you! The Psalms in the Bible are full of writers who got mad or frustrated with God! You aren't alone! God has big shoulders! He can handle your complaints and upset feelings. The one thing NOT to do is keep it inside. God knows it all anyways so why not be honest and tell him " I'm mad!" " I'm frustrated, I'm hurt!" I have felt this way many times and it has helped me to write my thoughts, prayers and feelings in a journal. Or talk to a pastor and counselor. They can help you work through your feelings. Sometimes I just read through the psalms too. David, one of the writers, may get mad at God but he ends up saying "You are God and I am not. I trust You, even though I don't understand. Some times God just wants us to trust Him, even when it is hard and doesn't make sense. And that is what FAITH truly is!!

I will be praying for you!

Hope

Hi and thank u! I appreciate the information it makes sense I just need to focus but I do try too get better it's not helping me. Thanks

I hear you, Darknlovely! Praying for you. I get angry sometimes, too. I know in my head I am not supposed to be anxious according to Philippians 4:6, yet my heart doesn't get on board. Reaching out, going to support groups, calling friends and family, exercise, sleep, all help. (And frankly, TIME is the biggest healer for me.)

Praying for you to feel better soon... to feel in your heart, mind and spirit the peace that surpasses all understanding and is based in our faith in Jesus.

[Darknlovely504 in reply to SuZQ154]

Hi, I know in my head I'm not supposed to be anxious but I am a lot. It's very scary at times I never thought I would be this way. It's embarrassing to be in poor mental state to crazy

[Darknlovely504 in reply to SuZQ154]

Thank u very much

[Fluffy44]

I will pray for you!!! I too feel far from God when I’m in those dark places and feel so far away from Him. But I know in my heart that he is there waiting for me to cry out to him!!

[Darknlovely504 in reply to Fluffy44]

I'm glad u understand and I hope we all make it through the storms. Thank u

[ehh22]

[Darknlovely504 in reply to ehh22]

[ehh22 in reply to Darknlovely504]

I know. I feel that too

I think getting mad at God is more common than you might think. I don’t know your views on religion but when you’re told all your life that God made you the way he wanted you to be and loves all of us it’s easy to think to yourself, if he loves me, why does it hurt so much? Why do such horrible things happen to such good people? One of my big questions was about how people would tell me that the pain is part of God’s plan to make me better or that he gave me my burdens because I was strong enough to handle them. I never felt strong enough for my burdens and always wondered why if God could have made me the way he wanted why did he have to hurt me to make me better.

I’m sorry if that catches you at the wrong time and makes things worse but the conclusion I’ve reached (at least on days I’m doing well) is that you can’t blame God for everything and those that you can, maybe there actually is a reason for it. There’s always at least a degree of free will in the world and as awful as it is to be in pain, this darkness that brought all of us here does tend to make us more empathetic. Also by having a basis for comparison it allows us to truly enjoy the things that are right in life. Maybe God is causing your pain and maybe he isn’t. I’ve never been one to believe in a divine plan for everyone, but sometimes I wonder if there is a purpose to all of the pain in the world and maybe it’s to remind us of who we can be when we love each other and how we can enjoy life and lift each other up. If I’d never been in pain I wouldn’t be here and while I haven’t been here long I feel truly supported here and that means the world to me.

[Fluffy44 in reply to Hidden]

I think the darkness is caused by the evil one. The devil can tempt a believer but he can’t have him cause he is Gods child. I have to pray a shield of Gods protection around me daily so that it is hard for the evil one to attack me. He knows our weakness and mine in my anxiety!! I speak the name of Jesus and plead His blood that was shed for me! It is so good to know that my Jesus is here holding my hand through all of this. By His grace I am saved and will one day be in a better place than this earth with no anxiety!!!

Tomorrow will be a better day!! Stay strong and fight the good fight!! Praying for all my new friends!!! Gods blessing and peace I pray for you all!!

Linda

[Darknlovely504 in reply to Hidden]

If he isn't causing it I thought He would be the one covering me and sheltering me from harm and healing me etc but He is invisible through it all

[Hidden in reply to Darknlovely504]

I understand what you mean and your pain. I hope it gets better. I can’t offer much advice save for suggesting that maybe he isn’t invisible through all of it, maybe he’s just hard to see. Maybe he hasn’t sheltered you in the way you’d like but maybe that’s because he is working through other people. I’m not sure what you need in your life right now besides the pain going away but I hope you find it, or at the very least you find a friend that is there to listen and can help you feel less alone in the darkness.

I wish you peace.

[Darknlovely504 in reply to NoirLioness]

Thank u and I wish u the best

[Wowie132]

If you dont have one already you could make or buy a prayer box, write your wishes, emotions and frustrations and express your feelings to God. It makes a huge difference for me. God bless and I will most definitely have you in my prayers and heart💗

[Darknlovely504 in reply to Wowie132]

Hi, I will look into it. And thank u very much
