Have you ever had this happen to you see?below?

Question

Things did notgo as planned as I thought they would and as a result I am dissapointed at God and feel he is not helping me. I lost my job and having a hell of a time trying to get another one and I am working so hard. I have been through a lot and I feel
hurt.

I dont expect life to be prefect or to get everything I want however I do feel that enough is enough and I need divine intervention?

Have any of you felt this way Have you ever been angry at God?
How did you overcome?

Answer 1

Sure. I've felt this way. But here is the thing: God IS listening to your prayers, and he IS intervening. It is amazing to me how much like children we adults can act. Remember being a kid and begging your mom for stuff you thought you absolutely HAD to have right that very second, and she didn't give it to you? Does that mean she didn't love you? Does that mean that she wasn't aware of what you needed? We often have an inability to see the overall big picture. You're alive. You have friends and family. You have food and shelter. You even have a computer you can use to vent. So you lost your job? It sucks. It happens. That is not what life is about. Life is about what you do about it. Begging God to solve all our problems is not what we are here for. You have the ability. He gave it to you, and all you have to do is take the bull by the horns and pull yourself up. When you do, and you will, guess what? You will find that you didn't really do it yourself. I look back at my worst moments, the times where I thought God wasn't helping... and it makes me laugh now. In retrospect, I realize there was no way I could have gotten through those times on my own, but I did. Pray. Have patience. And take advantage of all the gifts God has given you. Blaming him for your problems is not going to help you, nor should it. It didn't work on your mom when you were a kid. It isn't going to work on God now.

Answer 2

God will not make you do anything that He think you can't handle.

Jesus Christ asked to be spared the cross but still had to be crucified.

You can be angry with God but who is going to have the last word?
God does not always give us what we wants in life. Just what we need. Study the book of Job and the life of St. Paul and you will see about how men of Faith were treated.

All the disciples ended up dying a terrible death.
God is not like some magic genie who comes out of a lamp.

You overcome your weakness in faith through studying the word of God and praying. God Bless you..

Answer 3

Yes, I have. When I was an atheist, I had a fiance whom I loved dearly, but I later found out that she was cheating on me. What made it worse was that it was with my greatest friend, who was like a brother to me. This made me turn christian, because I knew something that terrible could not happen by random chance, but whould have to be planned by a higher power.

The reason I tell you this is because God presents himself in mysterious ways. Maybe you're down on your luck because god sees that you truly believe you are in the mentality that you 'don't need everything you want', and wants to see how far it can go before meeting your breaking point. To see how much faith you have in him.

In short, maybe your hardships are God's way of showing you that he is there.

Another note, when was the last time you thanked god, even for something small? Not often I bet. Don't be ashamed, we all make that mistake. But basically, if God can't let you know he's listening with good, maybe he has to get a little tough on you.

Got a bible? Surly you've read the story about Job? (pronounced Joe-b)

Go ahead, do the following simple steps, it will help you a lot… Step1 Relax before bedtime. Meditate, take a hot bath, drink herbal tea or do mild stretching exercises. Step2 Clear your mind of worries. Make a list of problems and possible solutions, and then look at them the next day. Step3 Avoid watching the evening news, horror movies or movies with graphic violence right before bed. Step4 Eat a light snack such as milk or yogurt. Both contain calcium and tryptophan, which can have a relaxing effect. Step5 Avoid fatty and spicy foods, which could cause gas and, in turn, nightmares. Step6 Give up smoking. Nicotine has been linked to certain sleep disorders. Step7 Stop using any drugs that are not essential to your health and well-being. Step8 Write down your nightmare when you wake up in a dream journal. Try to figure out how it relates to your life at present to prevent it from recurring. Good Luck

Answer 5

l've been mad at God. I don't lean on God the way that others do. I believe that me and God should be partners who must work together. However, we don't see things the same according to what I've been told about him. Then I'm forced to choose between what I believe and what I should believe.

Anyway, I know that having confidence helps. Pray to God that you know he'll see you through this somehow. Picture him putting his arms around you and comforting you. Maybe he's already done all he can and you'll have to make another move so he can bless that one. I've heard lots of stories of how God closed one door and opened a new window of opportunity.

Are you supposed to be self-employed maybe? or move? or let someone else take care of you for a while? or do missionary work? or just volunteer? or get a roommate to help you with the rent? or move in with someone that needs your care and is willing to provide you with a room in exchange for work? Keep searching!

Answer 6

Oh, can I ever relate to your situation!!!

Yes, I get disappointed in God sometimes, but I also realize that we go through everything in life for a reason. I've been through a lot of difficulties (you should see my track record on my resume due to bad economy) in terms of both job loss and other things in my life.

I've learned that I go through things for a reason. By going through these issues, I learn things in the process, and God can then use these struggles and my success in overcoming these issues. For instance, it gives me more empathy for others in the same situation and then I can learn compassion and encouragement for others.

Hang in there will you? The job will be coming. We just don't know where and when. As a note of encouragement, a LOT of times, I've met people who would not have moved on to a different job without that push. Perhaps God has something even better in store for you, and going through this time may lead you to the best job for you, or use the next experience as a path towards something even better.

Answer 7

In any real relationship there will be moments when you have a little spat. Yes, I have been angry at God. And I yell a lot at those times too. Not in public, of course. lol.

It seems to me that life goes up and down like a roller coaster. Sometimes everything is going well. And other times, it is the pitts. Just hang on harder when you are in the pitts. Talk to Jesus directly. Usually when I get mad it is God that I yell at. Jesus is different, at least for me.

Answer 8

First of all you need to stop feeling angry, everything starts from there. If you wake up and you feel angry, everything will come up wrong. I know it will feel ac ward but first thing when you open your eyes in the morning is to feel grate full appreciate the sun touching your skin, inhale the free air we get from trees, say hello to a new bright day that will bring you joy and happiness. Just ask for what you want... with details, but truly believe it, then let it come by itself. I promise you it will come. I love you.

Answer 9

There is a lot of people worse of than you. Realize that and try to appreciate what you do have. Don't let life get you so down. When Satan kicks you down take Christ by the hand and let him pick you up. Don't blame God. God disciplines those that he loves. I know that in times when things became very difficult for me I started to appreciate the rainbows more often. Just hang in there we live in difficult times and evil is lurking around seeking who it can destroy. Watch our for the little ferry flying around here she has Horns. I hate to say it but things are going to get worse, be careful who you trust even at church.

Answer 10

I used to have drink or two (or six etc.) That's when I felt God was unfair and I'd ignore him.

It's much better to pray, and that's what I do now. That's how I overcome. I believe when we experience troubles and problems, that's our opportunity to pray and trust the Lord and wait for Him to answer. It also helps to surround yourself with positive thoughts from Scripture. Like "All things work together for good, for those who love God, for those who have have been called according to his purpose" Romans 8:28
