I am wondering, if you have a continual, pervasive sense that God is very angry with you, can you be reasonably sure that it is from the devil, or from yourself, and not from God? I have heard different things from different people.

God never changes. God is many things – love, mercy, goodness, etc. He is not hate or anger. That feeling that God is angry with you can easily come from a feeling of guilt. A trip to the confessional should dispel the feelings of guilt that you have. Then let them go. Once your sins are absolved, they’re gone. Do your penance and forget them.

You can be reasonably sure it’s from the devil, who’s called the “accuser” in Rev 12:10. God, OTOH, is our* forgiver.*

I used to think the whole world was against me-and that included God. It took a long time to begin to realize that it doesn’t really matter what the world thinks- and, more importantly, that God loves us with a burning, infinitely huge, unconditional love. While God hates sin, satan wants you to think God hates you-or won’t forgive you anymore, or thinks you’re ridiculous, or whatever, as long as it’s negative, but nothing is farther from the truth.

God’s not petty, God is love, and He’s not angry in the sense we may think-man was the one who turned away from God-and began mistrusting Him, according to our Catechism. Man is the one who hated God without reason, according to Scripture. Enmity comes from man IOW, while God is patient, kind, long-suffering, even* humble*, as revealed by Jesus, who showed us the love of God in no uncertain terms by His passion and sacrificial death on the cross.* That’s *the heart of God towards man.
