Beloved of All
I don't want to get closer to God and I am upset at God and I don't trust God because he let me be in poverty since my Dad died despite working extremely hard. He let me be hopeful and excited about my marriage but it's been nothing but disappointment and heartbreak. He didn't keep his promises and did not provide for me so I don't trust him and I don't believe he is a good God. If he was a good God he would keep his promises and provide for me.

We understand that you're going through a difficult time and want to address your concerns with compassion and truth from God's Word. We're here to pray for you and share some biblical insights to help you navigate your feelings towards God.

Firstly, it's important to acknowledge that it's normal to feel upset and disappointed, but we must also remember that God is good and His ways are perfect. Even in our pain, we must hold on to the truth that God is faithful and He keeps His promises.

In times of hardship, it may sometimes seem like God has abandoned us. We know this is not the case. For example, the scripture in Psalm 22:1-2 says My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.

Jesus Christ, the son of God, who was born of a virgin, crucified, dead, and buried for our sins, ascended to God the Father, and will come again for us to take us to be with him forever, quotes this verse while on the cross himself.

It is a feeling we have that God has abandoned us but that is not true. Jesus knew this and he knew he would rise again on the third day. We must have faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the salvation he offers.

It's crucial to understand that God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). We may not always understand why He allows certain things to happen, but we can trust that He has a purpose and a plan, even in our pain.

Regarding your marriage, we're sorry to hear that you're experiencing heartbreak. We pray that God will heal your wounds and draw you and your spouse closer to Him and to each other. It is important that your marriage is between you, your spouse, and God. Remember that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) and marriage is a lifelong commitment. It is important to seek counsel from Godly men and women to help work through your marriage.

It is also important to address your concern that God has not provided for you. God promises to provide for our needs (Matthew 6:25-34), but it's essential to understand that His provision may not always look like what we expect. He may be using this season of poverty to draw you closer to Him and to teach you to depend on Him more fully. There is no promise of wealth and fame. Godliness with contentment is great gain.

Lastly, we want to address your feelings towards God. It's okay to be honest with God about your emotions, but it's important to remember that He is a good God who loves you deeply. He proved His love for us by sending His Son to die for our sins (Romans 5:8). If you are upset with God and do not trust him, you must reconcile with God to restore your relationship.

We encourage you to seek God with all your heart, even in your pain. Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Cry out to Him, and trust that He hears you and cares for you.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We lift up ### to You, asking that You would heal their broken heart and draw them closer to You. Help them to trust in Your goodness and Your promises, even in the midst of their pain. Provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory, and restore their joy and hope in You. Give them wisdom and guidance in their marriage, and help them to forgive and trust in You again.

We also pray that ### will come to know and surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. We pray that they have already done this but we want to be sure. We pray that they will come to know your Son Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to spend time in God's Word and in prayer, seeking His face and trusting in His goodness.

We're here with you, friend, and we want you to know that we care deeply about what you're going through. We understand that it's tough when life doesn't turn out as we expected, especially when it comes to our relationship with God and our marriages.

First off, we want to remind you that God is always with you, even in the toughest times. It's okay to feel upset, disappointed, and even angry at God. Jesus felt that way too, remember? In the garden of Gethsemane, he cried out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46). But even in his pain, Jesus trusted God.

We know it's hard to see God's goodness when you're struggling with poverty and heartbreak. But remember, God doesn't cause these things to happen; He's there with you in the midst of them. He's not punishing you or ignoring you. He loves you deeply, and He's working in your life, even if you can't see it right now.

In times like these, it's important to cling to God's promises. He promises to never leave or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5), and He promises to provide for your needs (Philippians 4:19). It might not look like the provision you expected, but He's faithful, and He's got a plan.

As for your marriage, we're really sorry that you're going through heartbreak. Marriage is a journey, and it's not always easy. But God is right there with you, and He wants to help. We encourage you to seek His face together, and to trust in His goodness, even in the pain.

We're praying for you, friend. We're asking God to heal your broken heart, to draw you closer to Him, and to give you wisdom and guidance in your marriage. We're also praying that you'll come to know and surrender your life to Jesus Christ, if you haven't already. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Keep seeking God, friend. He's there, and He's waiting for you with open arms.

I don't want to be closer to God. God has been being mean to me, disappointed me, made promises he didn't keep yet, he caused my Mom, Dad and Bonus Dad to die prematurely of cancer. Then he caused me to suffer in poverty. I was being loyal to God and praying all day everyday despite the facts that God did not treat Me kindly. Now I don't want to be close to God anymore, I don't want to pray, I want God to leave me alone or bless me. I'm fed up with how God treated me. I'm disappointed by how God treated me and I'm very upset at how God treated me. How God treated me is not fair. So I'm very upset at God. I want God to leave me alone. A Prophet told me I am chosen. I don't want to be Chosen. I want to be happy and blessed. Look how God treated chosen people. Look what he let happen to Jewish people. Look what he let happen to Jesus. I don't want to be chosen. I'm not like Job. I'm mad at God this is the first I've ever been mad at God ever. Up until this point all I ever did was praise God despite how unfairly he has treated me. He's been promising me marital bliss but I cried because he disappointed me again. I'm very upset. I'm very upset. I didn't even go to Church today. I'm not going to Church again until God gives me my car. I'm very upset God made my Mom Dad and Bonus Dad die early of cancer. I'm very upset God didn't make my marital bliss with my Husband happen yet; God was treating my Husband like my Husband was his slave forcing him to work so much that he didn't even have time to spend with me. I'm very upset at God. He had Prophets tell me two days ago that God is giving me and my Husband marital bliss and marital blessings and that we will have celebrations starting today and that God is making 3 people do the work that my Husband was doing so my Husband will have time for me and our kids. But that was 3 days ago now and it hasn't happened yet so I'm very upset at God. He can make it happen like the Prophet said, today, but he didn't yet, I'm very upset that God has been putting me through disappointment. If he is a good God he will keep his promises and honor the words of the Prophets to give my Husband and I our marital blessings, marital bliss and marital celebrations in Jesus name.
