Are you serious? While I’m thankful for perspective, you’re giving me a platitude
 
Your name is Christ Defender.

What kind of witness are you being by lashing out at the One who won your salvation?

Frustration is real.
But God is constant.
Whatever happened to you will pass.
Sounds easy? NO, but it will get better, and the only thing for sure is…that thumbing your nose at God who loves you above all things, created you in His image, and has redeemed you, is not the next logical step.
Trust in the Lord.
Trust.

I’d also suggest the Litany of Humility.
 
When I can’t pray in my own words I pray scripture. Have you ever done Lectio Divina? It’s amazing the insights you can get from meditation.

The Occult is not going to make you happy. Happiness does not come from there. Only more rage, more anger, more distrust and an emptiness you won’t believe. Do you really want that?
 
Just a day or two ago, you were thanking God.

These swings might be average, but, it is worth getting a checkup and telling your doctor that your moods are shifting in a kind of dramatic way.
 
Thank you for ACTUALLY being respectful about me. The rest of you can learn from dizzy’s example
 
How was anyone disrespectful?

If you are person who wears their anger on their sleeve, therein may lie your problem
It’s not God.

People on the thread have been VERY kind to you.
We love God.
You lashed out.
Which one is being disrespectful of others?

Many people are praying for you. We all wish you peace and a happy resolution to the problem you posted here.

OP, a poster gave you a very helpful and generous post and this is your response?

Honestly, the problem does not rest with God, it rests with your attitude. You came looking for help, and when it is offered you slap the hand of anyone that says something you don’t like.

Look within and stop blaming God for everything that goes wrong in your life. He does not exist to wave a magic wand over what other people do with their free will. Yes, their free will may impact your life, your job is to figure out how to deal with it, or fix it, or rise above it. Instead, you come across as a juvenile pouting because you didn’t get what you asked for.

My prayers are being ignored, people ridicule me, and I get disrespected a lot.

Here is what you need to do: Pray for those people who ridicule and disrespect you. I have done this, bearing in mind the Litany of Humility – read it and take it to heart! – and it helped me a lot.
 
Thank you, Random! i asked for HELP, not disrespect. Goodbye
 
So, give us an example of what people are ridiculing you for, and give us an example of the disrespect. Is it because you don’t have movie star teeth? Or is it because you made a mistake at your job and lost a million-dollar account?

It’s hard to make a useful suggestion without knowing a few concrete examples of who’s disturbing you, and why— and so all we’re left is to focus on your frustration with God for not fixing it. 🙂
 
Yes, I at times feel this way too. I know how distressing it can be to feel as though God has abandoned us or that he doesn’t care about our pain. But, please be assured that He is always with you, He hears you and cares more than we can imagine. You’re going through a very rough time, but what you must do is try to grow closer to God; not pull away. I’m not trying to lecture you, I’m just trying to share things from my recent experience.

And please don’t forget the Sacraments!
 
I understand how you feel ChristDefender.

Would you are to elaborate in more detail on what it is that is making you so angry with God?

Anyway it is easy to get angry with God. The worst is when you pray and nothing. You pray some more and still nothing. You pray oh so very hard for just this one thing and yet nothing still.

I think your feelings will pass in time. I have often had this, where I just said, enough is enough, why do I waste my time praying to and believing in God when this does me no good? Give it some time though, your life will get better and you will realise, that living your life without God just isn’t an option.

I’m sure if you stopped going to church and praying to God and even decided not to believe anymore, you would soon feel the emptiness.
 
I don’t know if I deserve all that.

I have been where you are. It is a very dark place. I have a lot of compassion for you.

Sometimes tough love is appropriate, but when I was in this place tough love only pushed me farther into desolation.

Focus on the light of God. If you can’t pray your own prayers. Meditate on scripture. Just open up to the gospels or Psalms and start reading. When something speaks to you stop. Read it again and again. Meditate on that. Focus on what is consoling about that passage. If you feel able to pray, talk to God about that consoling thing. Set aside all desolate thoughts. Focus on the light of God.
 
Imploring you to pray and submit to the will of God is the best, and frankly, the only help that online boards can offer to you
Not sure what you wanted. If you want a friend, be one in real life.
God does not sit around on a throne dishing out good months and bad months.
That’s just illogical thinking if you have studied the ways of God.
I’m sorry you’re having such a bad time. But I’d wager there are other far more clear factors at play.

Hope you clear you head on this, and don’t suffer too much.
It’s not worth the anger.
Reach out in love and peace to God and others, and maybe things will get better.

A platitude is like a cliche, like, “It could be worse!” So here, someone suggested that she look at people who have much harder issues in life, to put her own problem in perspective. Like, say, people who deal with bombings. And starvation. And illness. And displacement. And things like that. And how very small hurt feelings from disrespect are, in comparison to those much more physical injustices that plague millions of people worldwide.
 
Physical activities like running, preferably outdoors in the fresh air, help to get the body working and supplies oxygen to our brains. Go and talk with your priest, deacon or someone else who is wise.

When someone I know passes away, I clean my bathroom so that it is sparkling clean. An older and wiser collegue at work did the same and game me the suggestion. Keeps my head focused on something and my body gets physically tired so that I can sleep.
 
OP, I’m trying to say this in a gentle, loving way, but if you had a real, intimate relationship with God, you could never think of denying Him and going over to the occult. That is a horrifying, disgusting idea and deeply offensive to the Lord who suffered and died to redeem you. Really, the people who have responded to you have been extraordinarily kind. God is not a slot machine…you don’t go to Mass or say a few prayers and expect nothing bad to happen to you. Your ideas about God appear to be very immature and entitled. Anger at God happens and we have to work through our feelings, but thinking of leaving God and going to the devil?? That is not mature thinking.

Please see a priest and get some counseling. Are there any faith formation classes you can join? You need to talk to someone and be instructed in what the Catholic faith is all about…it is a relationship with the Creator and Redeemer of the world, and is the most wonderful Good News there is. Start reading the Gospels and get to know Jesus. He is waiting for you. I’m going to say a prayer for you that you will grow in your Catholic faith and be blessed.
