I'm angry God is allowing me to go through this. I am financially ruined, divorcing, reputation ruined, I feel like I am fighting for my sanity. I am having a mental breakdown. People seem to use me and use things against me. It just seems like from all areas of my life, I am going through. People at my church are judging me. I am struggling with trying to cope with everyday people. I am serious when I say that I sense the standoffish behavior of people when I go out of my way to be nice and present a positive attitude. Is God testing me or am I just paying for things in my past? I repented and gave my life back to God and since then things have gotten worse, not better. Im praying every chance I get but I still am experiencing anger and rage in my heart. What do I do?

Lose the dependency on your imaginary "friend" and take control of your own life.

Dear yeah whatever,
First at a time like this -- you need to base some of your thinking not on emotions but on facts. As you've said your emotional state is that you are struggling to cope with everyday life. i don't know why God is allowing it- but i do know that He promises to never leave nor forsake you- that He promises that He can give you a peace beyond understanding, and He promises that He never gives you more than you can handle. God does love you- and this is a time to hold on to that- and not to run away from the one true source of help.
i am sorry to hear that the people in your church seem to be judging you more than supporting you. Remember you repented because you trust God- and not because you wanted your life to be "better"- people don't go to God just for the benefits- but because they know who He is! God is for you sir!!!
i don't know if your church offers Pastoral Counseling-- or if you have a friend who will support you and also share what the Bible says with grace. i will definitely pray for you and am available to listen and offer counsel if you want to email me- i'm a youth/college pastor at a small church.
Hope that helps. Kindly,
Nickster

It's after you've returned to the Father's house, that the jealous brother comes out of the woodwork. It truly is an attack.
There are two massive lessons to come out of this. One is, it doesn't matter what anybody thinks of you it just matters what He thinks of you.
Two: how to stand up to the devil in the storm.
You're not the only one, by the way. Right now the Christians are under persecution and the reason is a ticking clock. His time is running out and satan is unleashing every tool he has, against us. So believe me, you're not alone.
Learning how to stand up against the devil comes partly from remembering Peter on the water. There's a state of mind, hard to grasp. It's eyes on Him and not looking down, not even for a second. Regardless of the scary sounds. He will pull you through.
You remember reading in the bible, that we are tried with fire, as gold? You're in it.
This I know. You'll make it. You just have to keep that head up and eyes on Him, all the way. One day at a time.
Read and learn. Trust Jesus, at His word. Believe Him. He made promises. "if my words abide in you and you abide in Me, ask the Father what you will and it will be given unto you". So what's the contract? It starts with you. Seek ye first......
Go after the Lord as though you're starving. Consume the word, over and over until it seems impossible not to believe.
Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. It works. As mechanical as that, it works.
Push the Holy Spirit to bring you to that which the Lord desires for you. Push at Him. Be greedy with Him. Yearn for Him. Read, read, read. Keep shoving it in. The faith will grow into something you never would have dreamt. People overlook the very tools it takes to come out victoriously. It's right there in your hand.
He is the way, the truth and the light. Let Him be your light. Amazing things will happen.

God is not doing this to you, and you shouldn't blame him for your mistakes. God has given us free will! We choose what we do. God loves you despite your decisions in life, I'm going through a very hard time with my husband, But no matter what, I'm not going to blame God for the choices i've made. Stay strong, You may be tired of hearing this, But its the truth. Life is not easy, and God will have obstacles for us in the long run. Don't let that stop you from loving God. Everything will be ok, Believe me, If not, Believe God! He loves you truly, and he will make everything better. I'll be praying you.
God bless you.

Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father.....If it's not good or perfect, it's not from Him. Try praising Him. (Singing works) That lifts your spirit. Be constantly in prayer. Think about what He wants you to be and do worry about what other people think. Only He counts. Memorize Philippians 4 verse 8. It tells you what is acceptable to think about. When you get upset or something bothers you go back to that verse.
God bless you bro.

Precious one.
My heart goes out to you.
I have been in horrible pain and grief in my life - and I pray that God's Holy Spirit comes to comfort you.
It is horrible to feel alone, betrayed, judged and in despair. I pray that His still small voice reaches you - and that his precious loving arms are felt tight around you.
Humans will always disappoint us...
Life will always turn on it's unfair heal and wound us...
But Jesus died for us at the hands of those who stripped Him and beat Him so that we would have life - and have it abundantly.
John 10:10 The thief (The Devil) comes not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly
Please, dear one - if your church has become a source of grief, speak to your Pastor. If he can offer no respite - please seek another church home. You need loving Christian support to make it through.
Please - even though the words seem like burning salt to your wounded heart... fight to read the word every day. There is hope there. The Psalms are comforting beyond imagining.
Please... hang in there.
Precious peace is coming to you. There is always hope in Jesus' Christ - even when you cannot see it through your tears.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Father God - please be with this dear hurting child. You KNOW that I have been so despairing before - and *I* know that You are aware of thier deep grief. Please hold them in their pain. You are the Lord our Provider - please heal their wounded finances. You are the God of all comfort - please heal their broken heart. You are our Father - you provide a home for the lonely. Be with this child, in this moment. Let them know - You will never let go.
In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Peace.

Please tell your pastor that you are in a spiritual crisis and need pastoral counseling.
You are going through so much right now, and you shouldn't have to do it alone. You have a lot of things you need to sort out and process through...
You really are feeling grief, anger and anxiety, and there are people at your church who can help you.
Please do call your pastor, and he/she can point you in the right direction to get help in dealing with this stuff.

Perhaps it's you and not God. Sounds like your problem is refusing to take person responsibility for things in your life and blaming them on others....like God.
