its hard to hear or think about god because deep down you know you need him but you arn't ready to admit it yet, right now you are probably reading this and thinking "she has no idea what shes talking about and does she even know what ive been through!?!?!?"!. i know because i have had my fair share of doubts and screaming matches at God have had my share of blameing him for everything thats happend in my life!. I mean i sure have a reson to my brother almost drank himself to death in the military, he got his arm gouged out in Iraq, my parent got divorced a year ago my grandma died two years ago, and my dad moved to wyoming so i never see him, so i have plenty of reason to lame him but 'why doesn't she!?' you may ask well here is the brunt of it:

Deep down i know that God never throws anything my way that i can't handle and in the long run the trial and error that i go through will strenghten me for his plan for my life, plus God is NEVER at fault all he does is steps aside to let the devil try and tempt us to test us and make us stronger in our faith!.

think of this story:
One day God was talking to one of his young followers and asked him 'would you follow me and obey me in anything!?'!. 'Yes teacher' the man reaplied!. so God told him "Go and push that bolder for awhile" so for years the man sood there in the hot sun and did just that, he pushed and pulled without a thought of doubt in his mind!. Until one day the devil came to the man and said "what are you doing!? do you really think you'll ever move that!? i mean look at the size of that thing! its three times your size and even heavier!" and then the devil left, but the damage was done since then the man pondered the devils words and began to doubt himself and his task at hand until gradually he stop putting effort in it and one day didn't even try to move it he just sat there doubting!. Then God came down to talk to him and asked why he had stoped his task, and the man replied "How God will i ever move this bolder!? all the years i've been pushing but it hasn't moved an inch!" and God said "what ever made you think i meant for you to move it!?" he asked "Look at you, when you started you were weak and pale, but now you are stronger, and tanner, in perfect shape! your muscles are toned and lean and could survive days and weeks of hardship, now tell me how your task did you harm!?"

so you see just because what you are going through now is hard in the long run God turns bad into good, and emotionally you will be stronger than ever, and even possibly could help people who have gone through the same things as you it will just take time!. all good thigns that last take time!.

BELIEVE ME - I know the feeling, but you have to realize that it is not God that causes the suffering (he is only capable of good), it is the devil that causes the pain, tribulations and suffering!.

My current struggle is with prayer!. I don't understand the benefits of it, because everything that I am praying for is not happening and, in most cases, it is getting worse!. So, it appears, that my life is the opposite of the good things that come from praying!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's not his fault, he's just a hapless figment of the mass
imagination that gets blamed for everything, as if he's
shirking or acting maliciously instead of merely not
existing!. You'll never get a handle on your feelings until
you take god out of your equations, and hey there aren't
any guarantees then either!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Where did you get the idea that God is to blame!?
Here on earth Satan reigns with impunity!. If you want to blame anything then put it where it belongs and not on God!. All the pains, hurts, and suffering we have are derived from evil, and the ruler of evil is Satan!. He has a great army of minions working for him as well!.
So you are angry, upset, frustrated to the point of explosion !.!.!. great! That's just what the minions of Satan like, it's exactly what evil wants of you!.
What the evil we live with is doing to you seems to be working!.
If you want relief and a balm for your pains I would suggest you go to God for that!. He has a plan for you, and it would be a shame if you missed out on it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You need to move beyond your anger for some higher power (in your case God) and take a look at the things in your life you can and cannot control!. Most things in your life you either can change or you can create a mind set to accept the things you cannot change and not become angry at them!. We all have strokes of bad luck and periods of sadness, but these things aren't because of some all knowing mean spirited higher power!. They are natural and normal and happen to everyone and it is up to each of us to make the best of it!. Look within and ask yourself, what is it specifically you're angry about!? Is it a jerk at school!? Parents too controlling!? Bad grades!? Or is it even on a larger scale!? The suffering of innocent folks through natural disasters!? The way animals are treated in zoo's and on farms!? Some of these things are temporary and you must use that knowledge to empower yourself!. Someday you will be on your own, and you have your own kids you can treat them in a way you believe to be fair and happy!. That jerk at school!? He'll be gone in a matter of a couple of years at most!.!.!. and he'll be a loser to boot! Natural disasters!? We live on planet Earth and we have weather we cannot control!. Understand that!.

I know that believing in a higher power can be helpful for millions, but I also believe it can be a crutch to true personal growth and happiness!. If you always think 'God' did something unpleasant you will always feel out of control and powerless!. If you think 'God' is to thank for the nice work someone did in a painting or cooking a meal or you getting that job promotion then it could hinder your confidence, and having confidence can make you a stronger and healthier person!. Be proud of yourself and those around you!

Take the joys and sadness and happiness and anger that life offers us head on!. Take control!. Something bad happens!? Lend a hand however you can!. Something good happens!? Make sure the doer knows they are appreciated!.

This is our shot!. I believe to be happy we have to be happy within ourselves!. Then you won't be angry at 'God' anymore!.

Besides, who wants a 'God' or any higher power that kills tens of thousands in a cyclone or encourages suicide bombers!.!.!. only crazy people! If you like the idea of a higher power, imagine that it set up the world to operate on it's own, and gave us all the tools to create infinite happiness right here on Earth!. The sad and angry people around us isn't 'God' being mean, it's us people trying to figure out how to be happy!.

You can't expect 'God' or anyone else to make things ok for you!. Only you can!. Now make it happen!Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you beleive he is the reason you suffer there is good in that because you acknoledge there's someone greater than all of us and you are frustrated simply because you missunderstand him!.

you don't mention anything in particular so I figure you frustration is simply, "if he was so great why would anyone suffer!?"

its not that he allows us to suffer, we allow ourselfs to suffer!. Like Adam and Eve, he created us with everything we need to surpass any tribulations we might be going thru, our faith!. If you find that faith in yourself you will feel better not only with yourself but with him as well!. "Ask and you shall receive" don't ask for your problems to be solved but ask for the strenght to face those problems and to find peace in mind while you face those problems!.

it would have been much easier for him since he is all powerful to just changes everyones mindset and manipulate everyone to act or cary on as he wished!. But he has faith in us to do as he ask's at our own will!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It depends on your definition of God!.!.!.If you get frudtrated it's because you beleive in Him!. You think of Him, therefore He exist to you!. I think you have personal issue towards Him to have such emotions!.!.!.God Bless!Www@QuestionHome@Com

"I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of His children for their numerous stupidities, for which only He Himself can be held responsible; in my opinion, only His nonexistence could excuse Him!."
