not just God, but satan and everyone and everything else in world. To be utterly alone, just to sort stuff out in your head. I don't hate God, but I'll admit I was frustrated at Him. And then I kinda hated myself for getting upset with Him, and then I got mad at Satan, but then I remembered life is a trial so I mad at myself again.I would elborate much more but my mind is a tangled mess right now, so I don't know where to start or how to accurately express what I feel.And before anyone brings it up, I am NOT doing this for attention, I cannot stress that enough. I just want your input.

Nevermind, just don't answer. I'd delete this, but since I can't just ignore it.

Hi penknight,

I would think all who have ever believed in God has been upset with Him at some point(s).

If humans could act like they had a little more love and sense sometimes...maybe things would get better. I never blame God...I get mad at Satan. We must remember...our God is Love Kindness and Ultimate Power over all. We are talking about a God that loves us sooo strong He gave His only begotten Son...yet if God wanted to give up on us. He could wipe us out now! No I never blame God. He gives humanity chance after chance...and we are still on his hopeful list because He loves us. I pray people in this world get better in love...God is loving...but His patience runs thin after disrespect too much. I look at it like...Ok Jenny at work today was rude? Will it wreck my day? Goodness no! I love and pray and carry on, because people have been rude to God thousands of years since our last chance with Noah. God hasnt gave up on us yet. So nope I never blame God! The devil is whose butt I'd like to kick! :)

I have only been upset with God once. That was when I was wanting to let something go and move on, but he told me No, because I needed to wait. Then I received confirmation of waiting for him and I quickly hit my knees in repentance. I have never done it again.

There are times I've felt that way. Really this is most of the times when I get depressed I just want to get away from everything and everyone. The Holy Spirit would come for comfort and I'd just turn away and tell him in my heart , "Leave me alone." Of course I would spiral through the guilt and emotions and shame.

In spite of all this He never leaves me. He's there wiping my tears, fighting the craziness of my mind. I'm more than glad He doesn't leave me alone, that He stays faithful to me even when I not. The fact is we can't sort the stuff out in our head alone, we'll create an even bigger mess! Just give it to God, let Him sort it out.

Don't feel bad for posting by the way, we're all family here :)

penknight,

2 Timothy 1:7 tells us, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

As you spend time with Him and learn His Word you will grow to know and trust Him, which makes it easier to sense His presence, His leading, and His answers.

Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

He understands all about you, penknight. He knows how you feel and what's going on in your head. He loves you, is always there for you, and desires to take care of your mind and all the rest of you. He won't put more on you that you can bear in "this test" that you mentioned; and He doesn't expect you to pass this "test" without His help. Call out to Him, in anger or however, but call out. Find a quiet place; spend some time with the Lord. Talk to Him. Tell Him your fears and concerns; ask Him questions. Then, wait, watch and listen. He will hear and He will answer, in His perfect time. The question is, will you sense it? The best way to make sure you don't miss it is to keep your mind on Him...often. Yes, it takes some dedication on your part but it's worth it!

In God is our hope. "And every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure." 1 John 3:3. So hope in Him, for He is the Way, the Truth, the Life.

Psalm 42:11
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

"Heavenly Father, show penknight The Way in You. In Jesus name I pray."

penknight, I pray that God will keep you in His care and that His Light will burn bright in your life each day.:)

To be honest God does leaves us alone. Meaning he won't intervene unless you ask Him too. And in other words Only thing he won't leave you were if you are in a dangerous situation...I think... I hope you understand this.. as for me. God gave me a choice on what to do He won't go on out doing it for you but will is some way give you a choice.. hope you know what I mean

I've felt the same way in terms of that tangled mind, so maybe I have a good idea of what to say and what not to say. Probably the best advice I could give would be not to worry about it. Things don't make sense, and there is a time for trying to figure things out while arguing with your own mind. But it clears up eventually. Try not to shut down completely, just focus on the simple things - eating, breathing, sleeping. And when you find the composure, just pray about how you feel and what's going on. Time is your friend in this confusion because it's the only thing you know is constant. Eventually God will reveal His power and control over all things.

Go outside and stare at the sky, stare at the trees. Pray for peace and take a few minutes or longer to think about absolutely nothing. Hope this helps.

ive been pretty mad and upset at God and its pretty disappointing sometimes what happens and what turns out to work in life, you should read Job, he was righteously upset at God, sometimes I feel like we are too afraid to give God some responsibility for some bad that happens to us, its important to be like Job and be righteous and not like his friends.

This is called just having down time, it is healthy essential, just a place to recharge and get things together.

"Be still and know that I am God", is a core principle that comes from just letting things settle.

Life takes its toll, and you just have to work through it, step by step. Too often people rush into things that they just should not, because they are easily a victim of others, of circumstance.

Why did Jesus spend so much time alone? Why did the ministry only start at age 30?

You cannot short circuit life, there are no quick fixes, it is a play for keeps.

People often shut their feelings out, and do not listen to what is happening inside. But this is who we are, and we find out the reality by spending time away. It is healthy, and those who do not end up falling apart and in a place they would never choose to go to.
