No matter how down in the dumps we are or dissapointed with God we are,its always important to remember that God is a good God who loves us deeply.
Its important to keep looking for affirmation of his goodness in times of grief and wavering doubt.
The Devil will always try to convince us that God is not for us and that God is against us or doesnt care about us.If we hear these accusations in our heart we need to confront it.I usually sing them away with a worship song.
I too have been through times of deep depression,on my knees,weeping on my bible,God gave me a word through an altar call.
"I have seen those times,those times you have cried alone in your bed,i want you to know that i will never let you go or leave you.No matter what."
He has affirmed this in His Word.
"Don't panic. I'm with you. There's no need to fear for I'm your God. I'll give you strength. I'll help you. I'll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you" (Isaiah 41:10, The Message).
Dearest Brother,at these times you need to keep seeking for ways to be set free,ask God to lead you to people or books,passages in the bible that will help.Keep at it,God will respond,he may not reply in an audible voice always,but if you look around you He Speaks!Through strangers who pass by and nudge you to cheer up or an unexpected kind gesture.
Do deliberately seek them out and you will see that God is not quiet after all.Bring your petitions to God.Wrestle your doubts with him,he will lead you to the truth.He will draw out any unconcious sin and clear your soul.
It takes alot of trust and safety towards someone to confide in them our deepest darkest secrets.Thats the sort of trust i want to have towards God and i pray you will have that trust in God too.
Trust that whatever bad that may have happened in your life,God can take it and turn it to good.
That God is a good God,a loving God,a forgiving God, a powerful God who is in control of your life right now.

]No, i don't need counseling; I'm a counsler myself. it seems silly to me to be getting counsel from a counsler FOR a counsler[/B]. And this is my only real support network. i have a few friends at church, and my parents ... they just dont really understand what it means to be mad at God i guess. not mad, i mean, but...wondering, begging, pleading.

I hope that I'm misunderstanding you here because we are all in need of counselling at different times in our lives. As a matter of fact Proverbs 11:14 says, "Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety." and again in 15:22 "Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established."

Even though you may not want counsel I am offering some. Be honest about how you feel and approach God in that way. Do not try to cover it up or hide it. He sees right through it. If you are hurt then go to Him hurting, offended then go to Him offended or even angry then go to Him angry. Who knows what would of happen if Adam and Eve would have run to God as soon as they disobeyed instead of trying to hide from Him.

I have been angry with God many times and found that the sooner I would go to Him the quicker the anger fades. God sees all that is in our hearts, He cannot be deceived but we can. When we try to cover up or hide our heart from God, how can there be any trust. If you don't relate to Him in truth what kind of relationship can it be? Please go to God with this and I promise you will be amazed at how ready He is to resolve it.

I'm leaving here; I think I've scared somebody off with my problem. Instead of feeling better, I only feel worse.

 

[calluna]

I doubt you have scared anyone off from TJ. TJ is powered by the Holy Spirit. No fear here, just love and peace.
Stick around Drowning, we are friends here. :girl_hug: I myself like others at TJ care about our brothers and sisters who are in need of help or a friend. If you've read any of my posts, phew.. I've sure needed some.

"As we have opportunity, let us do good to all people,
especially to those who belong to the family of believers" Gal 6:10

God Bless you

And I’m good, good, good to go
I got to get away
Get away from all of my mistakes

So here I sit looking at the traffic lights
The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
I want to run away I want to ditch my life
Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night

And after all of my alibis desert me
I just want to get by
I don’t want nothing to hurt me
I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I’m sorry can we leave it at that
Because I just want for all of this to end

And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
Consequences
Oh God, don’t make me face up to this
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
Cause I know that I let you down
And I don’t want to deal with that

It just now hit me this is more than just a set back
And when you spelled it out, well, I guess I didn’t get that
And every trace of momentum is gone
And this isn’t turning out the way I want

And after all of my alibis desert me
I just want to get by
I don’t want nothing to hurt me
I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I’m sorry can we leave it at that
Because I just want for all of this to end

And I spent all last night
Tearing down
Every stoplight
And stop sign in this town
Now I think there might
Be no way to stop me now
I'll get away despite
The fact I’m so weighed down

All of my escapes have been exhausted
I thought I had a way but then I lost it
And my resistance was once much stronger
And I know I can't go on like this much longer

When I got tired of running from you
I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears
You said, “I miss you son. Come home”
And my sins, they watched me leave
And in my heart I so believed
The love you felt for me was mine
The love I’d wished for all this time
And when the doors were closed
I heard no I told so’s
I said the words I knew you knew
Oh God, Oh God I needed you
God all this time I needed you, I needed you

Oh my goodness, I'm CHANGED! This song above changed my whole point of view! I feel...loved, protected, safe! Thank you God!
