I’m very angry with God for giving me the worst month ever. My prayers are being ignored, people ridicule me, and I get disrespected a lot. I tried to tell Him how angry I am, but it ends up being a huge pity party and screamfest at God. What should I do? I’m perfectly aware that things can’t always go right, but I’m out of patience with God and I’m tempted to go to the occult.
 
John 15:18
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.”

A Christian life is not a promise of an easy one in this life, but rather the fact that we have eternal glory awaiting us in the future.

Offer up your sufferings - they are a blessing - they allow us to unite ourselves with Christ.
 
I’ve tried that, but then hours later, I’d be mad again. Thank you though
 
I"ll pray for you @christdefender. Hang in there. God loves you.
 
Read the book of Job. I prefer the translation in the New Jerusalem Bible, but, find the translation that works for you.
 
post in some sense doesn’t make sense as it is a basic contradiction … being mad at god for not answering prayers and having people get mad at you … maybe it’s not God, maybe it’s something else that is fueling your sense of anger.

remember, anger is just an expression of emotion, we should not use emotions as a compass to guide our eternal soul to heaven, if we did, man, what a mess that would be, use emotions, in conjunction with the powers of reason, memory, imagination, and shape your will to conform with all that in mind, gets complex fast, but with such marvels in our lives, it’s bound to be complex.

If you want to leave God, knowing he is all good, reject his love for you … seems like the ultimate rejection, seems like an ultimatum, have those worked well for you in the past?

Maybe God is answering your prayers, maybe he’s saying “no” and you just don’t like the answer

Keep pressing on brother! May God bless us each day to give us the graces to persevere until the end
 
I’ve gone through something sort of similar lately (well, the anger part; not the occult part). I have been meeting regularly with my pastor for guidance and I’ve found it to be a tremendous help. I would encourage you to do the same.
 
Reading Scripture is not “once and done”. In times of great despair, of anger, Job and the Psalms are important to Christians.

Also, remember, God is not a micro manager. Most of the things that happen in our life are simply things that happen in our life. God does not make your car tire go flat or make someone mock you. God permits people free will, even the people who are mean to you.

What God does is allow us to face the snarls of life and He accompanies us through those times. He promised us suffering and trials and hatred in this life. He never promised there would be no storms, he promised to send a peace that happens in the midst of the storm.
 
Sister then 😀

but yes, the advice I could only give is to go talk to a priest, director, or a minister that could point you in the direction of a priest or director.

Blessings.
 
Look within. That type of rage is not from God. God provide us with consolation not desolation.

Sometimes we can get so overwrought that we move away from God. We stop listening to his voice.

His consoling grace is there. When you pray, set aside all thoughts that cause you stress, distress, anxiety, and anger. Focus on those that console you and build you up.
 
Thank you, everyone, but I’m not even sure about trusting God anymore. I feel like I’m talking to a wall when it comes to Him. And sorry for the snappy reaction to Seagull btw
