My dad triggered me so now I'm at my grandpas trying not to have a meltdown. Would it be so hard for my mom to take me home? Would it really have been so hard for my mom to make up an exscuse to let me leave? Now I'm stuck here and miserable!! I just got my wisdom teeth taken out and I am so tempted to rip out my stitches and watch as the blood gushes from my mouth. I want that so bad.

I am angry at my family for not caring. I am angry at them because my mom said she would take me home in 15 minutes and she hasn't. I'm angry because they're all sitting out there while I'm in here doing everything I can not to rip out my stitches!! I HATE MY FAMILY!!! >:(

Praying for you. Please don't rip out the stitches. You are an amazing person, and your posts are always enjoyable to read. Whenever I go through hard times, I think about about the story of Job. If you need to talk, feel free to send me a message.

It takes guts having wisdom teeth being pulled, and Even more guts to NOT rip out the stitches. You are a strong woman of God. You can beat the enemy with all your heart and soul. I know you can, I'm praying for you, message me if you want or need too. ❤️
 
Thanks. I'm feeling a little better. I dunno if that's due to leaving my grandpas or the pain meds wearing off....but thanks. *hugs*
 
Keep praying sister, you are God's child and He would not want you to harm yourself. I will pray along with the others.

"Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." Matt 18:20

All this is a TEST from God, to see how you are going to respond to it. Anyone who is not being tested, i would question your walk with God. Because as long as you are living, you are going to be Tested.

This is a test from God? Looks to me more like the enemy.

Why would the enemy have a need to test anyone? It is the enemies goal to keep us in sin, to keep us in anger, to keep us in porn, to keep us in jealousy, to keep us lusting, to keep us fighting, to keep us hating each other.

What? Can God prevent bad things from happening to people? Sure He can, He is God. But He does allow bad things to happen, if you don't believe that then read the Book of Job. We are put in situations because God desires to test us to see how we respond to that situation.

Know you not that satan has no power at all. It is God that allows satan to do what he does. satan does not test us, he can care less about us, and if it were up to him, he would just kill every soul that is living in sin right this second. But it is God that does not allow satan to take lives.

satan fills a person to start a lie about you, and in a few weeks, that lie, that false rumor has cost you your job. Tell me, Did God know that you were going to lose that job because of a false rumor? Sure He knew. Could God have prevented it from ever happening? Sure He could He is God. But guess what. God allowed satan to do what he did, God allowed the rumor to get started, God allowed that person to get fired because of that false rumor. WHY? Because God wanted to see how that person would handle that situation, would that person curse God, would that person FAIL to LOVE the one who started the rumor, would that person turn away from God because they lose their job? Would that person have Faith that God may have something better for them? Will that person worry because they have no job or Trust God? God allows satan to do what he does to TEST us, to see how we will respond to the TESTS.

We see Scriptural proof of this testing. When Abraham was told to sacrifice his son, notice what God says to Abraham

Gen_22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.


So it was a TEST for Abraham, and God wanted to see if he would do it or not, that is why God says NOW I KNOW, this indicating that He did not know before that point. Free Will was given to us by God. Please read the article Does God Know Everything to better understand that topic.

my point is satan does not test us, he has no reason to test us, his only goal is to keep us sinning. he does that through false doctrines, false teachings, and false beliefs. God does test us.

Act_14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
Rom_2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
Rom_5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
1Th_3:4 For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.


satan can do nothing at all without God having knowledge and/or approval of it. So then any evil thing that happens to a person, it is because God has knowledge of it, and/or approves it.

If you would have read the article The Meaning of Life
You would not believe it is satan that is testing us.

I think this is definitely one of those times when it is safe to say that any interpretation of scripture that sets God as an accomplice to evil, must me misguided somehow.

Be strong, dear! The Lord is with you. Pray and allow Him to take control. Stay in the Word!

I´ll pray for you.


God bless!

You are assuming it is a test. Feelings the OP is speaking of are feelings of self loathing, these thoughts are not of God but of the enemy.
 
An encouraging thought for you:

The Holy Spirit lives in you and YOU carry His presence wherever you go - especially among family members. You can affect whatever environment you are in more than it can affect you.

Expect peace to be in your heart - not fear of breaking down. God desires you to always be rooted in expectancy of His grace and power to calm your emotions. He is in you to give you the right words of wisdom, or the ability to accept what is said to you and remain at peace.

A good mantra for you to say to yourself at those times is "All will be well - this is but a moment". And, indeed, the Lord will work out all things in your life for your good.
 
When I read your OP, I thought it might be that the pain meds were having a bad effect on your mind. Pain meds can do that sometimes. A particular medicine might not agree with you.

When I had my wisdom teeth taken out, I didn't feel any pain when it was over, and so I didn't take the pain meds. it didn't make sense that it wouldn't hurt, but it didn't. I try not to take medication unless I need it.

awww sis so sorry I only just read this thread.
 
A test from GOD? humm...I wonder if that is the only thing we can come up with at the time to share. I do not see GOD as a tester...I do not see GOD putting upsets in front of us just to see how we can handle them..HE already knows our personalities. What you are going through is called L.I.F.E. How we deal with L.I.F.E shows the real stuff we are made of. Do you know anyone who says "GOD..give me more abuse, more anquish and more calamities to make me much stronger!"? NO....all peoples face incredible, seemingly insermountable obsticles as we go down the road of L.I.F.E...but a CHRISTIAN has an advantage..a heavenly Father, a son named JESUS and a Comforter called the Holy Spirit that can be utilized, many times bringing instant healings, or deliverances and stamina to bare what L.I.F.E dishes out to us. I find comfort in reading the BIBLE and taking time to be alone with my Savior when I feel frustrated...try it..you just may find that your 'problems' can be solved easier than letting the internet know your thoughts...when you have a Creator that is standing there for you..waiting for you to fall into His arms and tell HIM your sorrows...do not use the internet as a substitute.

I think this is definitely one of those times when it is safe to say that any interpretation of scripture that sets God as an accomplice to evil, must me misguided somehow.

It is clear you have not read the Bible very many times. The sole purpose of evil nations around Israel in those days was to punish Israel when they did wrong. The sole purpose of the Pharaoh being born in the days of Moses was so God could use him to show His power through, and it was God who hardened the Pharaohs heart NOT to listen to Moses. And there are many more examples, these two are just off the top of my head.

Know you not that God, according to the Word of God, creates evil.

Isa_45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.


So it would seem that Scriptures proves you to be misguided to believe as you do.
