I'm a little bit lost. I think I've lost sight of who God really is and what God really does. That must be causing me to really be angry and confused. I'm having a hard time praying for myself and others. It seems like everytime I try, I get washed over with doubt, blame, and I'm not sure what I need.

Prayer's always been a tool, but that tool seems to be broken. I'm having trouble getting close to God again and I'm stuck there. I've got some faith, but I'm back and forth alot, and I'm kind of tired of living life this way. Which means that all of this is really impacting any hope that I might have.

I definitely need prayer and time to find a good resting point. I'm sure guilt and shame have lots to do with all of this too, but it seems like the life I once had is gone. Too much has happened to explain, but God, or me, or both, just completely came in and changed, and I'm having a hard time adjusting.

I do believe this is life threating, and really can't get past this point. I'm tired of waiting, tired of having to do, to go forward, tired of having to learn, tired of going in circles and don't see a way out. It's more pain than i've ever seen anyone go through and has gone beyond reason.

I expect God to work, but won't ask Him for help anymore because everytime I do something else goes wrong, and don't give me anything about this being His mercy, that it's working together for my good. Everything is getting worse, worked, and wicked.

This has kind of put me in a place of not caring, about God, about others, about myself, and that's just a little bit dangerous, a playground of the devil, and that's NOT my fault, nor is their anything I "could" do or "should" do or "want" to do to be learning while i'm in this darkness. I don't care about God's 'lesson' or 'teaching' or 'love' or anything down here except getting out.

Just pray, I don't need your explanation or comfort or bad advice.

Jesus wants to be your best friend,

Listen to me, youre going through a hard time but GOD WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I'm going to tell this to your straight and it might hurt but you will rebuild as a man infinitely stronger. #1. God Does not exist. #2 The only person that can help you is You!. If you are stuck in a hole you have to go head first into the pain and come out of it. Forget a comfort zone, never feel comfortable again. Have a goal and follow it till your end of time.

You're partially right, God may not do anything about it if one is always relying on themselves.
What it is...is more like God strips a person naked of all their own armor,
all they rely on that is not of him as if saying
"ok, you think you're bad, lets see what ya got, NOW FIGHT!"
And if you wanna defend yourself at all you're gonna have to use MY armor
that which I provide
building the arsenal back up piece by piece in him and his will,
until a person understands God is saying you fight the good fight for me if you fight at all
Until a person is renewed solely relying on their maker, since we are not self made.
We are wonderfully and fearfully made, with the understanding the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
Ephesians 6:10
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
[SUP]11[/SUP]Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

In Christ, God Bless
 
But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect...
—1 Peter 3:15
