I'm so angry with God.?

Question

I'm 20.
My dad is a pastor.
My parents have told me they think I'm going down the wrong path. They've cut me off.
I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't have sex. I've been hurt by so many people because I won't do these things with them.
My parents still think I'm a bad daughter.
They cut me off, so I had to move back home -- I live an hour away from them. They call me multiple times a day.
I moved away from the city and the people I love.
They forbid me to do things.
I'm 20.
I should do them anyway -- but I want to honor and respect my parents.
I don't want to be mad at God.
But I am.
I don't know how to get over it.
Help me.

Answer 1

Sounds like a place I know well. I'm 23 and finally got away from all that a couple months ago. All I could do was pray. I had to wait a while, but my prayers were answered. Yours will be too if you hang in there and keep an honest heart with God. If you're angry at him, tell him. He won't be shocked or surprised or turn away from you. He'll never turn away from you. And your parents...well I don't know them like you do, but chances are they really love you and just don't understand what they're putting you through. My parents were really good, they just had trouble being parents sometimes. Our relationship has improved a lot since I moved out and my independence is secured.

Answer 2

First, be thankful that you have parents that even care to notice if you are going down the wrong path. They forbid you to do things. What kind of things? You are more respectful than most young adults today who think tomorrow is a given, so many crash and burn. You really sound like you have a good head on your shoulders and that your parents have done a good job in laying a strong foundation for you. Don't be angry with the Lord. From experience I have learned and am constantly learning that all we can see is the corner, but God sees around the corner. Being back home is not a bad thing. Trust God, love your parents and God will work all things out, I promise.

Answer 3

Why mad at God He gave your parents free will and you too. Why they cut you off makes no sense unless you are not disclosing something else. The reason why it is not good to drink smoke and have sex is they are all bad for your health. The consequences of illicit sex are so miserable you can not imagine the misery. If they said do any dam thing you like then you got pregnant by some dead beat guy and became an alcoholic and addicted to cigarettes and other substances do you think you would hate them for not telling you not to do those things. Try to see their love in all this. But why they reject you otherwise that needs more looking in to. Because the Christian religion doesn't teach what Jesus originally taught (Karma and Reincarnation and no one goes to hell eternally) then they are left to blaming God. Read Gospel of the Nazirenes (the original New Testament followed by the original followers of Jesus (The Essenes) which is what Jesus originally taught before King Constantine changed it in 324 AD, with his click of scribes. Don't you wonder why a child is born sick or blind or in a poor family and another healthy or in a rich family. Not original sin because in that case God would give out the sin equally. It is all due to past life karma (Reactions to our past life actions) Jesus made sense, but the Bible of today is not all together there. google gospelofthenazirenes.com This will releave your heart. But unfortunately your parents will probably never accept this.

Answer 4

Bummer. Obviously your parents care for you, but they also want to manipulate you and control your beliefs and behavior, even though you're 20 years old.

By "cut you off", I'm assuming you mean that they were paying some of your expenses and now they're not? If that's the case then it's just another example of manipulation.

Either way, this has nothing to do with God. If you're honest with yourself, eventually your conception of God will change so that you realize that despite what you may have been brought up to believe God isn't like a fairy Godmother who grants wishes and makes sure things go nice in your life.

But on the good side, you may also come to realize that there is nothing you can do that will make God love you an ounce more or less than he already does. It's your parents whose love and approval you're vying for - and it's your parents that you're mad at. I say leave God out of it.

At this point I'd say buck up, live your own life and accept that initially it will be tough to support yourself. Be nice to your folks, let them know that you care for them, but tell them that it's your life and you're going to take responsibility for it.

Answer 5

I'm sorry to hear about your parents. Just because they're older and (supposedly) more learned than you, does not mean they're right. Just know that you're a good person, and don't change a thing about yourself.

You have a right to be mad at God, but you can't move forward before letting go of the past. Remember that we're not in this life for peace, and every challenge we face and survive contributes to the person we become. They make us stronger individuals.

Everyone faces adversity in some form or another. That's not to say that what you're going through is fair, but pray to Him for strength, and He will help you through this. As far as your parents go, they (like all of us) will have to answer for their actions one day.

Good luck, and hang in there.

Answer 6

Just because your father is a pastor doesn't mean he isn't a lousy parent.

It sounds like they're just not doing the parenting job very well. My advice, as hard as it might be, is to move away from them. "To honor and respect" does not mean the same thing as "putting my hand in a blender again and again", which is sometimes the case when one has inadequate parents.

I wish you the best of luck.

Answer 7

Go and take a bath and Pray for God to forgive you for being angry at him because we must restrain from anger.
Your impatience and anger will only work against you & not for you.

I know of some verses within The Holy Bible & The Holy Quran where Allah warns mankind of this type of emotion.
But I don't know the exact verse # in reference to anger.
So just be patient because that is the first step to ward off anger.


Peace.

Answer 8

PK PK PK one of the toughest kind of kids to grow up as! My friend it is essential that you be your own person and not try to fit into the mould that others make for you and expect you to fit in. You are one of a kind. God made no other human being exactly like you. I'm absolutely certain that your parents love you but they too are pressured by their congregation and peers. In your heart you want to be a godly woman but you want to be free to be the godly woman that God created you to be.
Rom:8:1: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Your heart is crying out for the freedom in Christ that you were designed to live and walk in. Walk in the liberty that Christ has died and raised to pay for you to enjoy.
I would encourage you to read the book "The Bait of Satan" by John Bevere. Learn all about your challenges and how to get free!
In short, don't be a mouldy Christian!!! : + )

Answer 9

God has nothing to do with your miserable state now. Do not blame Him if you think others have failed you.

Look the other way around. Could it be that with your new-found freedom from any form of coercion, you have now better chance to really know the truth of Who really God is?

You seem to be mixed up and confused with several personal issues. God will help you clarify things if you ask Him. He doesn't ignore someone who is suffering, much less you, who wants to cling yet to Him.

Answer 10
