Doubt. That's the big leveller isn't it. Some people say that if you doubt your God then you really don't believe in Him in the first place... However I have come to believe that in my doubt I always find more strength in my belief when it all comes to an end. So to answer the first Question yes I feel that way on occasion.
Anger, When one feels that there is an injustice being committed anger tends to be the dominate emotion. Directed at God in times of confusion and sorrow anger causes one to say or do things that he or she may later regret . When I was much younger I had a friend commit suicide. I hated my God, Blamed him for my friends suicide and wanted nothing to do with him. For days I cried, then on the following Sunday I went to my Church and prayed. I always prayed, it was habit. Not necessarily desired but habit. That day I had something happen to me that has happened every time since. I felt whole. So, now when I am facing sorrow, pain, anger or I just feel lost, I Pray. Now When I am angry at God I forgive him and pray that he will forgive me for Being angry.

No I do not ever feel that God doesn't care. But I have been angry when loved ones were lost. But then I realize that He has a plan, and His plan is best, and it is not for me to question. Add to that the fact that He was always with me, even while I was angry, He never left me.
God Bless

NO, I don't. Humans are so quick to point the finger. It's not His fault, a lot of the time it's ours. Things happen, things we can't control and it sucks but you just have to get over it and move on. I guess the reason I don't blame God for the crappy things that happen to me (and trust me there are a lot, especially when it comes to my health), is that I truly am grateful for the life I have because, looking at the world, my life could have been so much worse. I could have been a starving child in Africa, a woman living in Afghanistan, and the health issues I do have could have been a million times worse, just to name a few examples. I guess I'm just one of those "look at the glass half full" kind of people, but not in an annoying way. Whenever you do feel that way, the only thing I could suggest you do is pray. Cheers and God Bless!

yes I do at times, and yes I get angry. but I also get confused because I am not so sure about this, but I feel that there is a God that helps us out. I feel that God was there to help me and others when they needed help.
I know I went through a rough time, I did the work to get my life turned around, got a better life. Some say it was God. Good Luck with this.

Yes. Every Christian will experience God in silence. Getting angry with God is normal.
Mostly, we get angry because of the things that is not working out according to our plan. God's way is not our way. God's plan in not our plan. Not all our prayers will be granted. God only grants the best things for us. So, if you feel God doesnt care, just pray and tell Him what you feel. He wants your attention, He want all of your attention to Him.
Note: If things seem to be not in place, do not worry at all. Remember, 'All things worked together for good, to them who loved God according to His purpose...' (Romans 8:28)

No- God gives us all things so that we might learn through them and grow. When I am sad or fearful of anything that is my own imperfecion. Anger towards God is never an answer. If you feel this way then pray and read the Bible or find a Christian to encourage you in the faith.

Yeah, never question God. Even if he seems like a total f*ck up just accept that He's actually perfect. When I get angry at God I scourge myself for my own imperfection in daring to doubt His omniscience. And turn off your brain before you show too much intelligence by actually thinking about this stuff and get yourself kicked out of the Christianity club.

You need to trust that he loves you. Look at the life of Jesus, it was not an easy , fun life. He endured mental and physical pain that we could never understand. I love my children, I can't imagine what it would be like to send them to die for so many ungrateful mean people...that was not easy for God...it was painful for him. It is just that he knows the end result...he knows that when we are going through all these horrible things there will be good in the end.
Some of the worst things I have been through have brought me to a better place in my life...sometimes many years later, but looking back I see God wanted more for me. God is not putting you through all "the bad stuff"...sometimes we need to take responsibility as well.

This life is only temporary. We need to learn many things while we are here. It's just a test of faith. I believe when we die, we will understand this process and why it was important to go through certain trials. No matter what happens to me, I keep the faith and try to understand the lesson. Many times I do, but only after the fact later in time. In the end, it's all for our benefit, even if you don't understand that now, you will someday.

I know he cares, but I do get very frustrated at times and angry with Him . What i do is look at myself and go over everything that I do and don't do that I know would please Him, and use those instances for the reasoning of His "absence" in my life. I also turn and pray to Him to forgive me for not thinking about the right thing all the time and ask for His guidance. Works for me.
