unclevroomvroom I face this problem of cursing God and being angry at him when things go wrong, how can I fix it, always when I’m facing this kind of problem I remember that Jesus suffered more and unjust punishment in the cross for me, but that just doesn’t help at more critical situations, how can I love God and delight in him when things go EXTREMELY wrong? How do you personally do that? (Please answer if you know anithing that could help me)

@@leviackerman6678 Hello Levi, First I need to say that God understands you more that you understand yourself friend, and he knows the struggles you go through. as for your question, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15. this is how we show obedience and that we love him friend. Continue praying everyday, and reading your bible everyday. Because the more you read, the more you will know God, and the more you know God, the more you will love Him, and the more you love Him, the better you will serve Him. God bless you friend

@@leviackerman6678 For me, it's all about perspective. I deserve an eternity in hell. Jesus paid the price I deserved to pay. He purchased me with his blood. I trust in His sacrifice, and know, by His grace, I will be with Him in Heaven for all eternity. I will seek his will for my life in His word. Living in obedience, and (by His strength), facing whatever hardships may come, because He has saved me.

I've been afflicted but never to the severity that Job was afflicted with. I've developed a habit of rebuking the thoughts Satan plants in my head.

When I was greatly afflicted I was angry with God that He would not bring relief it was not His wrong doing it reveal my faith was immature and also all manner of evil in me and I didn't understand in everything I would not leave faith in the Lord but was still angry with Him I was greatly troubled in mind and heart to the point I was deeply depressed for years which resulted in more anger Please pray for me while this was some time ago there are scars on.my heart and I GREATLY GRIEVE that I would be angry with God like that I believe in Jesus today and will never leave the faith but even today I'm hurting in MY relationship with God I love him and want deepness with Him Again I could really use some prayer from caring loving chistians

Had you gone it alone and had faith in yourself instead and your ability to handle your hardships you would never feel any bitterness or disappointment. Only confidence from finding the strength to endure. As soon as I started expecting god to take care of me I became bitter towards him constantly for all the things i was suffering from because I was relying on something outside of myself and my control.

If you only love those who love you, what are you doing more than others? If we only praise God when we are showered with gold and blessings, what glory will God get? Do we not share our good times and our bad times with those we love? Share all your pain and love and thoughts and dreams will God and Jesus. Never give up! They are with us!

Hey darling!, I was reading the book of Corinthians and Paul talked about how being single is awesome bcos you have more time to commit to God. This is bcos you don’t have the responsibilities of pleasing a spouse and children(mortgage, education fees, relationship issues). So look at this as an opportunity to grow in the Lord and become more acquainted with him.

When I had tribulations in my life. I took time to stop wondering. And I thanked God for the situation I was in. Rather if I brought it on my self or not. Whatever the case may be. Thank him anyway. I lost my job. I lost my home and everything in it. All but a couple of pairs of pants, shirts and socks. And very, very few items. I felt he had a way of making me come to him. And I did just that. I felt closer to him. That's my testimony. And I love him, no matter what. I'm not without sin. But, through Christ I'm made whole. May God bless you all.

There is no choice, as there is no other that is deserving of praise. Only God is worthy of worship. Any praise or worship to any other entity will fall on deaf & dead ears, and is a worthless pastime. I am nothing but a passing idea, really. A wisp of vapor. Anything that comes to me is from God. So why shouldn't I worship Him, even if I were in Hell?

I hear your plea and desire to do the right thing with God. I pray that you discover Gods joy, in you, about you, about life. Even in all of life's pain, sorrows, disappointments, heart breaks, betrayals, and our body's ills; God's persistent love, redemption, mercy, grace, beauty, justice, and strength still breaks thru. Yes, some times it seems as if His reprieve comes when I can barely hang on, but that's when He confirms I desperately need my Savior. I love Him and appreciate all He saved me from. I pray you find a friend in person who will advance on their knees with you till the battle is won. God loves you dearly, run to Him for your protection.
