Can God make you miserable to get you saved? I am pretty depressed, and I have never been so in my life, Im not very social anymore, and I use to be the life or a party. Things just don't seem to be good like they used to be. Even though Im not a big sinner and I give money to church, my life seems to be much worse than far worse sinners who hate God.

this is difficult to understand and it is human nature to try to understand the injustices of life--naturally if we are religious one of our attempts to understand will be via God's point of view. It is also natural to blame him when life is going wrong. I do understand see the question I just posed (please stop and answer a desparate person)
in fact maybe your answerers will also help me as I type with tears in my eyes feeling so miserable. The fact is life is unfair..I remember once seeing the face of a man whose entire family of wife and 8 kids was just killed in a bombing in Cambodia...the pain was just etched on his face and though it was many years ago, I remember..why so much for one person..why is life so uneven. So unfair.People who are just horrible people with fabulous lives and nice ones with awful ones and it all seems so unfair
. I do think sometimes God does make us miserable to save us as He is not willing that any should perish and for some a lot of sorrow is necessary to break then and put them on their knees. I also think he does this to people who are saved to reignite them or shape the direction of their lifes and sometimes it is from the devil trying to make us hate God or sin and sometimes just bad luck or injustice with no reason.
The thing is we don't always know what it is..we do know life is hard and harder still for some than others.Some people answer your question were unkind or to judgemental or trite i simplistic answers.
I think you need to seek help by having people to talk to (even if it is suicide prevention counselors when you are upset you don't need to be suicidal--they help a lot trust me givre them a call just to talk), journal, do nice things for yourself, seek counseling and get through your life as best you can.
I do not recommend antidepressants as they make some people (like myself) suicidal and can cause permanent brain damage but you do need to seek out alternative health threrapies for depression. There are some using differrment modalities (herbs, essential oils, flower remedies. massage, etc)
Read book "seven steps to emotional healing"and the book "feeling good" and other self help books. etc.
I hope life takes a good turn for you soon. Take care of yourself and read a lot of books for help too..walk volunteer these things help

Some time things have to get bad before you look up to God and tell him this. Lord you are right and I am wrong. Get this taken care of and go out and tell people how to get saved and things will get alot better
The Bible says you go to heaven or hell . If you want to go to heaven all you have to do is believe that you are a sinner and Jesus went to the cross to pay for your sins and shed his blood for you and if you believe that just look up and ask him to save you and you will be in heaven with him forever when you die. This is what the Bible says. Be Informed Before Leaving Earth

God won't make you miserable to get you saved. Have you ever thought maybe you are clinically depressed? You might wanna find out. I am saved but I still have severe depression and anxiety, but God didn't do this to me. God wants everyone to be happy, and He would much rather have people come to Him because they want to be part of His life, then just come to Him because it will make them less miserable.

We just had a sermon had this, this past sunday, God doesnt make you do anything you dont want to do you do. What I feel you need to do is to turn it over to god and pray about guidance. No amount of money can get you into heaven, just repent for your mistakes and ask God to guide you in the direction in which he would have you go, but it is still your chioce.

I don't know what is paining your heart, but I ask this day that God be the lifter of your head. May His love find you and speak to you tonight, may the peace that passes all understanding fill your heart. Please call out to Jesus and cast all of your cares on Him, because He promises never to leave you nor forsake you. I am sorry you are hurting and confused. May God's love lead you in a new path. He has good plans for you; plans to prosper you, to give you hope and a future.

We make ourselves miserable. Get your mind off of " woe is me" and start asking God what your purpose is. He'll give you something to be glad about.
