Lost My Faith In God

[Bei1052]

I don't understand why God won't allow me to be happy. I'm trying very hard not to be angry with God, but it's impossible.

Right now... I'm hurting. I have been for the past year. Someone I loved very deeply hurt me in the worst way imaginable, yet God seems to be blessing her for it. On the other hand, while I'm not perfect by any means, I've tried to live my life the way God commands, doing the things He commands of us and treating others the way He says, yet He seems to be punishing me for it. And I just don't understand why.

Why won't He allow me healing? Why won't He allow me peace? What did I do to deserve going through life feeling like **** every day? What is the point of being a Christian if it comes with nothing but extreme hurt and heartache? Why do I pray if God is simply going to ignore my prayers?

I have been asking these questions for the past year, and yet I have no answer. I just don't think He cares, and I've reached the point where I don't think I can serve a God who is so willing to watch someone suffer so. If trying to live my life in God requires me to be miserable and makes me wish I don't wake up in the morning when I fall asleep, I'd rather live in the world and at last be happy. I'd rather be DEAD or live in eternal damnation than to live like this anymore; that's the honest truth.

I just don't think I can consider myself a Christian anymore. I simply can't dedicate my life to anyone who would so gleefully watch me suffer so.

[Cheryl "The Earthly Angel"]

Holy God and loving Father, I consciously place my fears, worries, anxieties, and burdens in your hands. I know that I have so little power to change the outcome of these events and I trust that you will work what is pleasing to you, and best for me, out of these situations. Forgive me for my anxious thoughts and for letting my own worry become an idol that robs you of my full trust. Strengthen and empower me to trust you more by the power and presence of your Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

God, our help and assistance, who is just and merciful, and who hears the prayers of your people; look down upon me. a miserable sinner, have mercy upon me, and deliver me from the troubles that torment me, even though I might deserve them. Grant me, I pray, your divine helping grace; endow me with patience and strength to endure my tribulations with complete submission to your will. You know my misery and suffering and to you, my only hope and refuge, I flee for relief and comfort; trusting your infinite love and compassion, that in due time, when you know it is for the best, you will deliver me from my troubles, and turn my distress into comfort, and I will rejoice in your mercy, and exalt and praise your Holy Name, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, In Jesus Name Amen

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
