What did you learn from that experience?

I've wanted a baby for as long as I can remember. After our first miscarriage, I was depressed, but not angry.
13 weeks into our second pregnancy, I miscarried again. I was angry with God. He knows how much I want children, and so far I've never carried a pregnancy to term.
I had one day when I literally stayed in bed all day and fought it out with God. I was really weak and anemic, and I was still in disbelief over the loss. I was at the point where I didn't want to believe that God existed. I was so hurt and angry.
In the end, though, I do believe in Him, no matter how hurt I was. So I told Him everything I felt He had let me down on. Everything I felt like He hadn't been there for.
I didn't end up with any answers that day. I told God I didn't understand and I didn't see how I would ever be happy again, or feel like living again. But I also told Him I was willing to. I was willing to see that He loved me. I was willing to live my life again.
It was in a support group, letting other people who were in the same situation minister to me that I felt sure of His love in a way I never had before.
I come from an abusive past. It's really hard for me to trust anyone, and I've learned that that extends to God as well. It's hard for me to trust Him. But He got me through my losses, and helps me to heal the hurts of my past.
Someone once told me that God never wastes our pain. That's been such a comfort to me, and I've found that to be true. It's not that the bad things are somehow good, or worth it, but He can bring about good from even the worst of our pain.

Sure we do! I'm mad....
Many people in the Bible got mad at God and tried to go their own way, But he won't let his sheep go. He'll wait as long as it takes for our attitude to change. The greatest example is Moses. He went 40 years without God when he killed that Egyptian.
I was mad at God after my divorce and now after my Graduation ( struggling to find professional work). I met my Ex in Church we both shared the same beliefs. How could we go wrong!
I'm learning that Life is a process designed to create character those of us who can't bare it blame God. Sometimes I feel close to God other times I ignore him. But he's always in the back of my mind reminding me of the scriptures.

I felt stupid afterwards for being mad at God. God is perfect. There is nothing to be mad at Him about. I know that I am truly nothing without Him. I am worse than the dust of the earth for at least the dust of the earth obeys His every command. I, however, disobey His commands and drag His name through the mud on occasion. I am an unprofitable servant and always will be. However, in His loving kindness He grants me the opportunity for eternal life through His Son Jesus Christ. I love God!

I can't say that I can remember being 'mad' at God but I have wondered why He would allow some things to happen to me in my lifetime. In the end, it is a futile emotion. Because does what He feels is best for us. I, for one, am glad. Because in the end I have learned that HIs way is the best way. May GOd Bless U.

A few times and felt stupid after wards. It was like trying to get a child away from fire and they are kicking and screaming only to quiet down when you take them to the fire as close as possible to feel the heat, what you are trying to protect them from. To trust Him, even if I cannot trace or understand Him. It took a while for me to surrender to His perfect will, a very long while, but I've learned and that is the most important thing.

Yes I have, because I did not get what I wanted. I had my epectations in Him disappointed, so I got mad at Him in a respectable and mature way. Afterwards, I felt closer to Him, just like any other relationship when we make up after having an arguement.

Yes, I have been angry at God. Later I realized that there wasn't any reason to be angry at God.
I felt silly forever being angry in the first place, but most of all I felt forgiven.
God understands when a person becomes angry at him. He doesn't reply with anger. He replies with patience, understanding, and forgiveness.

I've cursed His name, sworn I hated Him, I've stopped praying or paying attention to Him, I felt like He doesn't really care about me or my prayers.. I've said many things I regret - but what hurt the most was realizing just how cruel I had been. And God didn't reply - I'm sure He knew I was ashamed of myself.

Yes, and I felt fine afterward. We are allowed to call God on things that he promises he'll do.
