Answer 1

Rob,
All I can say is, that when I was at my lowest, Jesus Christ helped me. But one thing you will have to deal with is the bitterness and unforgiveness. I know that may sound impossible, but there is a way. Forgiveness is a decision - a choice, like tearing up an I.O.U., The feelings may not leave immediately and may try to resurface, but if you stand firm God will stand by you.
God hears us when we put our faith in His Son. He is the only one who can make us acceptable to God. Call on His name today. He said "Come unto Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
He is good for His word, but you have to listen.
Peace to you.

Answer 2

I am so sorry to hear about what is happening in your life. We do not understand always why God allows things in our lives. My husband and I are both not healthy. I am 48 and have had fibromyalgia from the age of 12= my hubby is 53 and permanently disabled so cannot work. We have 2 teenagers to raise and finances are very tight. I know your situation is different- but let me encourage you- no matter if God seems distant- there is no where you can go to escape His presence- if you believe on the name of His Son Jesus. No, He does not always give you what you want- I would love not to be in pain 24/7- my husband could wish that he did not have 12 injuries and some other health problems but for whatever reason, God has chosen not to heal, but He has chosen to show that His grace is sufficient for us at all times.
Dear God- I pray for God- Even though his wife left him with nothing, remind Him with the power of your Spirit that He has YOU which is better than anything else he could have. Touch His life Lord and give Him a reason for living. In the name of Jesus AMEN. I apologize as well for any answers that were not comforting.

Answer 3

I am very sorry to hear about what you are going through. I wish I had some easy answers for you, but I don't. There are no easy answers in this kind of situation, and taking the easy way out ("That means God doesn't exist!") is not appropriate.

If it helps at all (ignore me if it doesn't) the fact is that there is sin in the world, and it affects every one of us. I can't begin to appreciate what you're going through, and most likely neither can anybody else here. What I do know is that, somehow, God does have a plan for it all, and, somehow, He will use our suffering as part of it. I know some people have gone through great difficulties and trials - I think of Joni Earecksen Tada - and then have been able to turn around and use those trials to comfort other people going through similar problems.

In any case, I don't have any answers for you except HOLD ON and trust that God is still on the throne. As the old hymn said "Though Satan should buffet, though trials may come, let this bles'd assurance control; that Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed his own blood for my soul." (Written by Horatio Spafford after losing all four of his children in a terrible shipwreck.)

Please, contact me personally if you want to talk more. I am praying for you. If there's anything I can do, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Answer 4

I know, this is the verse that no one wants to hear when they are going thru hard times, but Romans 8:28 says that everything happens for our good if we are following and seeking God. If you are a Christian and walking with God either: 1) trust that His plan in your life can't be made real without taking things that interfere with those plans out of your life, 2) if your wife is even capable of such you are better off without her, 3) God can and will turn this misfortune into a blessing and 4) He promises to take care of all your needs, not all your wants. Many times what we want isn't very good for us.

If you are not walking with God then don't blame Him for your misfortune. Although God doesn't approve of divorce He has given your wife her own free will. Sometimes we don't come to God till He puts us in a place where there is no place left to turn. Now is the time for you.

Bottom line, start focusing on Jesus, receive His gift of salvation, if you haven't, and give your life to Him, really make Him Lord. Get into the Word of God, pray and worship Him and do these things as a part of your life, not a one time attempt to fic your situation. His will really is perfect. He has a plan for you and your children. We just can't see the result while He is making the changes. And that is where faith comes in to play. Above all, thank Him for what He has given you.

Answer 5

Pretty much everybody goes through hard times. You didn't lose everything, you still have your daughter. If you ex is making your daughters life miserable as well as yours, you need to make things better for your daughter. What is happening to you sucks, but there are much worse things in the world. God is not doing these things to you, don't blame God.You can either kill yourself and end what you consider a horrible life, or you can work at making things better for you and your daughter. You brought her into this world, she needs guidance and love. Losing a house sucks. There are other places to live. The only thing your wife has won, is if she likes causing you pain. Get past the anger and make things right for you and your kid.

Answer 6

I know you don't believe but there IS a God. If there wasn't there would be nothing. Someone who says there is no God has no knowledge of the Bible. Rob, God has a plan for everyone. It seems like he has left you for now but you hang in there. I don't know why these things are happening to you but be patience. God has a plan for you and I promise you that you will be happy again. I am new at reading the Bible and don't know alot about it but I know it is real. The best way to understand is talk to someone who knows the Bible. Do not even consider suicide. You are a father and a son. Do not let the Devil take over your life. PRAY - PRAY - PRAY I will pray for you too. God will give you a wonderfull life! Just trust him. God loves YOU!!!

Answer 7

I am truly sorry this is happening to you. Yes, I will pray for you.

If I could ask one thing from you... please read the book of Job in the Bible. Before you do, though, pour your heart out to God and tell Him the pain you are feeling and ask Him to show Himself to you in a concrete way and also ask Him to heal your heart. It could be that He is making you ready for something even more wonderful that you would not be ready for with your ex.

But, alas, any other words to you will sound empty and insincere. For this reason, I will leave you with a short prayer and to let you know that I will continue to pray for you.

May God grant you the strength and courage to face each new day. May He lift you up above these turbulent times so that you can feel His loving presence and grace. Finally, may He bring someone to you to help you recover your faith and trust not only for Him who provides all but in others as well.

Answer 8

Do not listen to that cow who told u there is no god..i mean retart. Just sit there and think who created the sun and the moon and trees and plants. Do you want to tell me a human scientist/nerd created the trees and and plants and animals and humans and basically everything. Dont u dare comit suicide. If u want to actually get relieved really really really begin learining about Islam. If u just sit there and read the Islamic holy book everything in ur life will become clear. U noe how the bible has a different version every year this book was never chaned not even 1 letter over 100 000 000 yeas ago. It is in Arabic and some books translate in English and explain wut the verses mean..trust me on this 1

Answer 9

Hello Rob....i guess you are not alone. Everybody for at least once in their lives question God's existence. Its ironic to say that "a person who had not shaken his fists against heaven doesnt met God at all". Its a good start that you are asking where God is. You're on the right tract. Just keep an open mind and an open heart. God be with you.

Answer 10

Faith is not supposed to be a crutch. You obviously have a great deal of faith and it has comforted you. Your rod and your staff. But now you are facing a crisis. You have to have faith that your faith will return. You will get the balm when you have met the challenge and overcome it.
No one can do without faith. We have faith for example the sun will come up in the morning. We have faith in the natural order of things. And we know we are not given tasks that are beyond us. What you think of as loss of faith is loss of certainty. People who are worth testing are tested. As another contributor said. Job was tested. But Job comes out of the experience wiser and stronger.
