I try to have patience, but I live in tears and sorrow. I try to follow the commands but sometimes this just leads to more difficulties, and sometimes I find they have been perverted by my blind want. I need a lot of grace today.

Hold steadfast in his will for your life. Know that he will not give you anything you cannot handle. 1John 1:9 to him everytime you give your problem to him and then take it away by worry or whatever is taking you out of fellowship with him.
Even if you have to 1John 1:9 every 5 min. You need to stay in fellowship with him for him to work in your life and you need to wait on his deliverance... I know it is hard but think about how hard Christ suffered and for how long for you and this is but only 1 person and 1 problem. He will take care of it, you must believe it to be true, trust him that it will work out HIS Way which is better than yours and stay in fellowship!
I am saying a prayer for you right now.
God Bless..... keep on keeping on!

You have Grace. God's grace is infinite. I too have been through some periods in my life where i could not understand why God would put me in that position. I cried a lot of tears.
I try to be a good person, I pray, I try to follow all the commandments.
Today, I have a wonderful husband who loves me,and does not cheat on me, but as I look back, if I hadn't gone through the trials I had, I would never have been open to even dating someone like my husband ( younger and of a different race.). I have a wonderful home, and life, but, I have the life I have today, because God knocked some false pride out of me. it wasn't easy, and it hurt. but maybe he is getting you ready for your better life.

Hon, Sometimes the answer is NO..
You are not ready to go any farther until you learn the lesson you are living with now. It is like being a baby. First you take little steps, and you fall down. But you get back up and keep trying.
We are NOT born perfect. We are here to learn. When you have learned what it is God is trying to teach you THEN you will move on.
one more thing. you need to come out of yourself. Why don`t you look around you and see how much better off you are then others.
I warrant you will find that your life doesn`t suck quite as bad IF, You look at the hopelessness of others around you.
I mean just check out the sites below. Then come back and tell us your problems.. ok?

It could be that God wants you to find peace and acceptance of your situation right where you are.
Now, if another is physically abusing you and causing harm, you do need to get away from the situation. God does not put people in harms way, he provides a way out, it just might not be the out that you were looking for, but there is a way out of it.
Commands cannot be followed, we break them all the time. If we could have followed all the commands and the laws, we would not have needed to have that sin debt paid for us by Jesus Christ.
Your heart and your intention toward the commands and laws is what God look at and knows. King David messed up big time, and more than once, yet God declared him a man after Gods own heart. Its about intent, even when we screw up, did we do it knowingly against god? or did we do it out of our own fleshly nature and turn to God for help in not repeating the same behavior again, regardless of the price that we may have had to pay for that behavior or lack of it here on earth.
Look to your heart, it is what you need to make sure is right with God. once that part is in place, the rest will follow.
Pray for a heart change in regard to your current situtation, whatever that heart change may need to be.

If you are trying to live by the 10 commandments it's no wonder you are a mess.Jesus is the end of the law.
Start reading only the gospels: Matthew,Mark,Luke and John and ask for help in understanding.You need someone to help you,this isn't something that you get on you own.Jesus said we make up his body and there are ones that have understanding and can help you if you will not be in pride and think,me and Jesus have it all worked out.That's not how his kingdom works. He set in officers in his kingdom to perfect the saints and we must acknowledge them as who they are to be blessed in understanding.
Jesus said you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.He also said if you love me keep my commandments.
His commandments we 2 remember?Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,mind,body,and soul,and thy neighbor as thyself.How difficult can that be?Really?
The whole thing in a nut shall is LOVE.

Assuming you aren't a troll - you need to seriously consider what you are saying.
You seem to be miserable because on top of whatever other problems your life is facing you with, you are also flogging yourself with a human conception of 'god' - which even if there is an all-powerful being who created the universe (not likely) to assume that he would force his creations into jumping through the kinds of hoops that religions like christianity claim he wants you to is patently ridiculous.
If there is a god in this universe - he would be sickened and repulsed by what has been done in his name.

Don't pray for yourself, pray whole heatedly for others you love. Pray thanking God for being being God. Pray from the heart. Keep it simple and selfless. Praying from the head doesn't work very well.

Stop praying and open your mind. THINK! Understanding will come from inside you or it won't come at all.

Try praying to a different god. Maybe your god will get jealous and start paying you more attention.
