Angry at God

[Flavius_Aetius]

I’m feeling furious at God right now…mostly for being so @#*% mysterious and hidden away!

I’m so angry…in my head I can honestly picture myself just hitting Jesus in the gut out of anger…and the thought just leaves me feeling like a filthy animal!

I’m feeling anger and hate for God and myself and I can’t explain it…it makes me want to tear out my hair I feel so broken!

God is not hidden away. You need the eyes of faith to see Him, but He is here with us always, in the Tabernacle!!

Dear friend in Christ; permit me to ADD to your fustration

IF you were an Informed, Practicing Catholic God WOULD NOT BE HIDDEN FROM YOU:thumbsup: We have God; REALLY and Truly Present to us in Catholic holy Communion.

God has to be mysterious or God COULD NOT BE GOD: Why?

God is infinite; we are FINITE

God is PERFECT; were NOT

Still God loves us FAR more than anyone of us can love Him in return.

Develope a STRONG and disiplined prayer life; seek God in a VERY personal relationship and Hear and OBEY HIM in all things,And God will make Hiself more Present to and with you.

Isaiah 55: Isa.55: 8-9 " For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts"

God Bless,
Pat

Faith is a gift I feel never permanently stays.

I feel on edge…and there is a strong urge to just stop even trying to understand God-stop putting faith in him, to just stop caring my worthless soul.

My dear friend in Christ;

Faith dear friend is and has to be given as a GIFT friom God. In a sense it depends entirely upon Him; and in another way; God mysteriously allows us to influence [but not direct] His decission of who gets what, and how much.

Prayer, [our most common means of influencing God], Good chairtable works, and for Catholics the Sacramnets.

SEEK and Ye Shall find; ASk and it Will be given unto you. … God permits us to seek Him in realtionship while He in turn is seeking relationship with us. Just as one is foolish to think that one can [or will] share in God’s glory without also sharing in Christ Passion [take up your cross and follow me is found FIVE times in the NT], so too simply waiting for God to get around to “little OL” me" is foolish. SEEK God where he can be found my friend.

As for your final comment: … God Don’t makr JUNK my friend

Gen. 1: [THE FIRST CHAPTER OF THE FIRSY BOOK IN THE BIBLE: 26-28 “Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; :heart:and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”

God Bless,

I would suggest to take a peek at the three books “Light for life”. The first one “The Mystery Believed” it is quite eye opening and it can limit your sense of frustration.

I have friends that fell the same way. Angry that God has not given them what they wish. When they snap their fingers and he does not deliver. I wonder who are THEY to order God around. Such has happened so much of late. We forget the God is always. a second from now, a minutes, 1,000 years, God is all time. God is not hidden from you, you just choose not to see him, for when you seem him it reminds you of how finite you are. How that what ever happens he loves you more than you can imagine. Some people give up because they try to rationalize why God does things. You can not rationalize infinity, and that’s a scientific proven fact. Don’t hate him for it. Weather good or bad he always has your best interest at heart what that is I can not say for I am not him, and I am here and not in his dwelling place.

I take peace in the vast things I do not know. I do know that Go loves me. So I try to return the favor. Don’t rebuke God because you are not getting your way, even people who are entirely devoted to him don’t get their way at times. have peace, for isn’t infinite love worth a even a simple earthly pain. Whatever it is Jesus had it worse.

Practice the Sacraments more often, Eucharist and Reconciliation. Help the Church, connect with Her people. Read, do, listen, act. We are God’s arms and legs and His heart in this world.

God’s not “out there”, He’s inside of you.

 

[Flavius_Aetius]

Yes…he does make me feel finate…

I’ve never thought God could leave me feeling like someone out of an HP Lovecraft novel who just encountered one of his cosmic beings, but here I am!

I feel utterly worthless, a meaningless existance…not only that but my heart feels like a furnace that I can barely keep closed from lashing out and revealing the hatred I feel for most of the human race.

My hands are shaking…I almost wish I was dead inside.

I’m sorry you are feeling so frustrated. I will pray for you! :console:

When I am angry at God, I tell Him so directly. I either go to adoration and just pour out all my frustration to Him, or else I go to confession and tell His representative that I am angry at Him for whatever reason.

If you are unable to do either of those, try taking a walk and letting out the anger with each step you take, imaging God is at your side and can hear and answer your thoughts and frustrations.

Sometimes, God seems to disappear from our lives. Many saints felt as frustrated as you with how He comes and goes. St. Teresa compared it to Jesus sleeping on the boat while her emotions rolled and frothed about like the storm at sea. St. Therese used to say that she was a toy ball that Jesus would sometimes get tired of playing with leave her on the floor. St. Bernadette often commented that she was a broom God had used for a purpose, and after the apparitions at Lourdes were through, God put her in the corner behind the door to gather dust.

The point is that this is something to just work through. You won’t always feel God’s tangible presence, and this is actually a compliment, because He is watching you to see if you will serve Him and do His will without any rewards or consolations. Keep soldiering on as if you do still feel His presence and never stop praying. Even if the prayers sometimes dissolve into rants about how ticked off you are at Him, keep up the conversation with Him. Fall back onto vocal prayers if the emotions get too raw. You can get past this! Good luck to you.

We all have times where our faith is more challenging, even Mother Theresa did! Praying for you!

"Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it in my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.’ Thomas answered and said to him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.’ John 20:28-29

Why are you feeling this way? is it just something you feel and don’t know why? or is there a reason? it might help if you say what’s causing the anger you feel,
i know you said it’s cause He’s “hidden away”, although only from our eyes, but why does that make you angry?
Jesus has received so many blows and cuts and everything else, but He did that out of love for you, so…maybe you can go through this struggle now, but He will always welcome you back into His arms when you are ready, God is patient even when we hate Him.
have you tried reading and meditating on the life and passion of Jesus? of all the books out there on His life and death, i would recommend “The life and revelations of Jesus Christ” by Blessed Ann Catherine Emmerich most of all,

but whatever the problem is, just tell us, because i’m sure you don’t want to feel this way, you posted this because you wanted help right? and we can help you, so just try and explain what is bothering you.

If you have some fear, try to put that fear out of yourself no matter what kind of fear is.
Put yourself at first place,and your relationship with God. Try to talk to God and tell Him all your problems which you do not know the answers.

I am also angry at this catholic god.
It is estimated that 150 million people have been killed in the name of Jesus.
One billion people are starving today that is 1 out of 7 of the total world population.
God needs blood to fix the world, but only his own has the magical power to do it. So did he give himself a body and then killed it?

God is the Source of Evil Spirits
The next day an evil spirit from God came over Saul, and he raged in his house. David was in attendance, playing the harp as at other times, while Saul was holding his spear. Saul poised his spear, thinking to nail David to the wall, but twice David escaped him. (1 Samuel 18:10-11)
God Discriminates Against the Handicapped
No one whose testicles have been crushed or whose penis has been cut off may be admitted into the community of the Lord. (Deuteronomy 23:2)
God Makes Wicked People:blush:
The Lord has made everything for his own ends, even the wicked for the evil day. (Proverbs 16:4)
Mass Murder
“This is what the Lord of hosts has to say: ‘I will punish what Amalek did to Israel when he barred his way as he was coming up from Egypt. Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses.’” (1 Samuel 15:2-3)
God Admits He Did Evil Things
[The prophet Jeremiah speaking] “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to offer your prayer: If you remain quietly in this land I will build you up, and not tear you down; I will plant you, not uproot you; for I regret the evil I have done you.” (Jeremiah 42:9-10 NAB)

God did not create evil. He ALLOWS it. Evil was brought into the world by the temptations of satan and our human weakness. But God, in His infinite goodness, has given us an opportunity for all grace through evil. When we see the poor and destitute of the world, or the oppressed and persecuted, or the enslaved, or the starving, or the imprisoned, it is our GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to see Christ in them and help them.

Our free will and human frailty is a magic potion for evil. Since God will not interfere with our free will, He instead, gives us an opportunity for grace through the evil which WE create.

 

[Juda3]

Why douse a “loving god” create a torcher chamber to send most of his creations. I could understand if this was for behavior modification but there is no chance of forgiveness. Douse god give us a fire prof body? How douse someone burn for all eternity? Is burning is being consumed by fire?

I thought god created everything who is the creator of evil? I thought god created satan? Can your “infinite gods” stop the poor and destitute of the world, or the oppressed and persecuted, or the enslaved, or the starving, or the imprisoned? Douse god like seeing his creations suffer or douse not care to change there state or is he unable to help them? Where is the grace for thous in hell?
A so called leader molests a child god will forgive him if he tells another so called leader, but you go to hell with no chance of forgiveness if do not believe god needs blood so much that he turned himself into a man so he could become a “blood sacrifice” to himself? God sacrificed his self to his self so he could find it in his heart to forgive the child molester.

I´d stay away from all things which are not pure.
You mentioned the author Lovecraft - I would be wary of that sort of thing if I were you.

God created all that was good. Evil is simply the absence of good.
