Yes there are similarities. I was simply commenting on how the other gentleman said he knew exactly how the OP felt and walked in the same moccasin's. God sees us as individuals. Each with their own story and reactions/ responses. Even if circumstances look identical.
Given that. And I'm speaking from a lack of deference to particular scripture for expendiency's sake within the conversation, even Jesus suffered that which is common to His brethren, so that His fellowship in our sufferings could bring us into fellowship with His glory. I can't think of any instance where He became angry with God but He did ask what we now know in retrospect might've been a 'selfish' prayer, although not without qualifying it beforehand with, "If there is any other way..." Perhaps this might provide us wisdom from which to draw from.

That is not what I said, but, in fairness to you, I can understand the confusion. Here is what I said:
I have been in the OP's moccasins many times, and, presumably, so have many others (probably everybody) here been in them. In other words, we all live in the same fallen world, and the temptations or trials which we face are "common to man."

1Co 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Have I ever been tempted to be angry at God? Of course, I have, and probably hundreds or thousands of times. I am just seeking to state that it is never a wise thing to do because God is perfect, holy, and just. In other words, there is never a justifiable reason to be angry at him.
In that response, I linked the "moccasins" with "temptations" that are "common to man," and then I specified that I was speaking about the temptation to be angry at God. In that sense, the sense of being tempted to be angry at God, I have walked in his moccasins many times. I have no idea what the OP has been fasting and praying for, and I have asked him for clarification, if he is willing to give it, in a previous post here. I hope that clears up any confusion in relation to what I was trying to say.

If you have seen the series The Chosen, and I know it's not exactly biblically accurate, but when Thomas fiancé dies but Jesus does not "save" her but then does Lazarus, his pain and aguish and yes.. maybe anger is evident.

Hey, sure. I was thinking on a different realm. Not logic. But the heart. It's cool because we are all made different and see things at different angles and different views. (gross overuse of the word different! been indoors too long!(LOL)

On a lighter note.... I just created the fastest skillet dinner in my entire life! :LOL::coffee::)

Ok, so... my synopsis of the discourse within this thread is the OP's passive-aggressive admittance to unconfessed sin, and his resultant anger in the frustration of his prayers... And @Lynx, perceiving the OP's declaration of said anger to be a fresh cut off the beef thrown into a school of sharks trolling for injured prey proceeds to throw a dash of salt onto the newly sliced shank in a weak attempt to cauterize the wound of which some stray granules have been inadvertently strewn into @keepingthingsreal eyes, that caused concern on @Sanders part that which might turn into a log if allowed to fester for very long... :geek:
Pretty much, yeah.

Indeed, I would be at least envious. :unsure: The best takeaway I can think of the lesson is that we have to keep in mind that, although and as much as we are always aspiring to achieve Christ' likeness, we will, nonetheless, fall one degree or another short of it, on this side of the resurrection.

Just make to let me know once any of you figure out how to hold on as tenaciously that it knocks your hip out....
the meal must be as good as I imagine seeing that @Sanders doesn't seem willing to share.
