He has not forgotten you
I too have alot of problems
But I do not blame or look to God to answer ever single question or request that I have in Life
Somethings in life I have to do for myself

Hi there, just by reading your question it is obvious that some of those around you are dysfunctional in their behavior, and you can bet that they are like this with others too.
you ask where is God in all this, He is right beside you in your Husband!
we look to God for an instant fix in life`s struggles, and expect Him to pull a rabbit out of the hat for us, but God knows the best way to help us and most of the time He is asking for our trust, as it shows our total childlike dependence on Him.
life is hard for all of us, it`s a journey of ups and downs, no-one escapes its hardships.
I don`t know if you read the Bible but give this passage from the Gospels a try, Mark.6: 45-53 ( Jesus walks on the water)
keep your hopes up and don`t let discouragement over take you, you are not alone, take heart from this.
God bless you.

I can so relate. Reminding you that when that much is going wrong, it is a confirmation that you are doing something right. Seek God and ask Him to reveal any sin He wants you to deal with. If your heart is then clean before God, then remember your Adversary is a bully who likes to kick us when we are down . Also remember that the Adversary doesn't need to waste any time on those who are already walking in disobedience, it's those who are swimming upstream who get his attentions!That's what I meann by taking it as a confirmation that you are on the right track when you feel like you are under attack. Also, if you are like me, it's easy to let daily time with God get lost in all the stresses, even frustration with Him for allowing so much at once. If nothing else, read 1 chapter of Proverbs daily, like Proverbs chapter 30 on the 30th, etc. Or do the same with Psalms, That is my weakest area, and an easy way for me to get back into time with God & getting my head straightened out on all the other stuff. Remember Elijah, he was so wiped & depressed. God reminded him to go to sleep, and He even made sure he got some healthy food into him! Prayin' for ya sister, and will put you on the Prayer Chain at church. Neglect of your physical needs for health, exercise, escape just opens the door wider for being beat down, so please take extra good care of yourself through these trials! Sending hugs & prayers.

Just read James 1:2 and try to injest what it is saying. "Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." God is perfecting us, and we are not perfected when everything is going the way we want it to go. Actually everything is going just fine with you, but you aren't looking in the right direction to see it. Just look up!
The key verse for you when in times like this is Philipians 4:6 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." It is that peace in our hearts in the middle of all termoil that is what God has promised to His children, read Hebrews 11:36-39 if you think you are having troubles. We are all inthis together and God will see us through.

My friend, these are the last days. The Lord is busy refining us all, and also, Satan is viciously working to destroy our faith.
Please, keep yourself under the blood of Jesus and put on your armour of God every day (see Galatians). Keep in contact with the Lord through prayer. Trust that He is in control. Praise Him when you are feeling down.
Remember, the Lord allowed Satan to test Job and he took everything from him, but then came Job's time of blessing and the Lord blessed him even more greatly than before.
He sees all you go through. Keep your trust in Him, for He loves you.

The scriptures oldguy63 shared with you are really good and I just want to add 1 Corinthians 10:13 which says "No temptation has taken YOU except what is common to men. But God is faithful, and he will not let YOU be tempted beyond what YOU can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out in order for YOU to be able to endure it." and also I will add verse 27 in Acts chapt 17 which says "Â for them to seek God, if they might grope for him and really find him, although, in fact, he is not far off from each one of us." Which is a reminder that God is always there for us but we need to reach out to him. And this action is evident when we pray to him with a pure heart, take in knowledge of Him by reading and studying His word the Bible, and aligning our lives in accordance with His will.
And remember when you pray to God about your problems He doesn't necessarily take them away he may give us a way out when things get difficult or just the strength to cope.
And take heart with these words from 1 Peter 5:6-11:
"Â Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt YOU in due time; 7Â while YOU throw all YOUR anxiety upon him, because he cares for YOU. 8Â Keep YOUR senses, be watchful. YOUR adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour [someone]. 9Â But take YOUR stand against him, solid in the faith, knowing that the same things in the way of sufferings are being accomplished in the entire association of YOUR brothers in the world. 10Â But, after YOU have suffered a little while, the God of all undeserved kindness, who called YOU to his everlasting glory in union with Christ, will himself finish YOUR training, he will make YOU firm, he will make YOU strong. 11Â To him be the might forever. Amen"
Best wishes to you and your family.

as I read your story ,you are also a christian that it seems that your life is going upside down....a matter of fact, regardless of the religion, every person have the upside down of her/his life...but somehow its a part of our daily living .. accept it, face it, solution would come along... if you can't solve it despite of much effort, then offer it to God, He will solve it for you.... Yet God is so good He wil not give you trial you can't carry..... Go on your life... make trials as your strenght.... Smile. God loves you !

I think God sends bad things into our lives to test our faith and to also build our characters - make it stronger.
Think about it, we are closer to God when we are in bad situations. I think we face such situations to realize that we are not strong enough, that our efforts aren't working so that we can give all control over to God.

God does not control our lives. He supports us and lifts us up, but we have to do a lot on our own. He cannot change your supervisors mind, you have to do that. There has to be brightness in your life. You must have friends at work and your neighbors. There just may not be any apartments available in your area that are what you want. It is not his fault. He don't build apartments, humans do. We are living with humans who tread on us. There is always hope. That is what we live by. He didn't make your father unhealthy. We all are born, we all die. There is nothing unusual about that at all.
