God doesn't mind when you're pissed at him whether he deserves it or not. He can take it. Hot or cold, it's a relationship. Good you're still listening. Blessings

I am a man of faith, which also means I know just how much of a sinner I am. Have I ever been pissed at God? You bet, many times but I always come to understand that God is not the problem. I try to remember two simple facts; 1. God loves me, and 2. There is nothing I can about it. I will pray for you and your son.

He is trying to tell you something and I’m glad your listening. Everyone gets made at him for different reasons. Tell him why your mad. Jesus says- “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Whatever your problems, I hope you find the solution and some peace.

Life's too short to go through angry for extended periods of time.

Lot of prayer and a handful of faith goes a long, long way. I and others here hear you, and you're never alone..most have taken those small leaps of faith.

Hope things start looking up for you and yours. Been through a few difficult times myself. Let us know if there is anything we can do.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I have come to a point in my life where I believe, God is worthy of praise, regardless of my circumstances. Good or Bad, It never changes his position.

It gives me peace, and relieves a lot of the struggle I have experienced.

When I consider all that I have done, or could do, I realize that it is Christ alone, who has paid my debt. My very best, is but garbage. Very humbling, and comforting to know where my faith resides.

After Job had lost his material possessions, then his entire family except his wife, then his health, his "friends" suggested he "Curse God and die." Job's response was, "Though He slay me, yet shall I serve Him."

I found what you said riveting.

Seems like it is a constant struggle for our souls between good and evil. It helps to have the grace of God to defeat the evil in us. Hard without it.

Black92LX, may I recommend that you watch Tim Tebow's four-video session called "Shaken?" It is an amazing view of how we can make it when we are shaken by life. Each video is only 10 minutes long. There is a book that accompanies the videos, or vice versa. Mr. Tebow is an amazing speaker and offers simple and deep wisdom.

Black, you join a long list of biblical characters who have questioned/argued with God about his commands. God Bless you on your journey. You’ll be in our prayers.

It may be as simple as the current occupants of the house would like to express their thanks for your work there. Or maybe God just wants you to again lay eyes on good work that you have done. It will be revealed to you when you go there why you have been called.

Maybe you just needed a reminder about how life is always changing. The past year may not have been the best but things will not always be that way. All you can do is your best and wait for it to get better.
