Does God do us justice when we nees Him?

loveandhope · #1 30th September 2012, 06:27 PM

Hi all.

Although the bible, it says Our Lord help the opressed. I'm a Christian and ive hit a problem which has lasted for several years. I have prayed and kept the faith. But this situation is becoming ugly. Will God show me justice ever? I admit He has never failed me. But i cant accept God would allow this situation to last. That would be a wrong God. I'm not if my faith is being tested. But when times get hard then harder why is God not showing? I hear in prayer The more they boast the more there is to knock coming down'.

Its not easy being in a family of narcissits who find it an honour if you are insulted by them. Its been 6 years of neglect and saddness. Ive never once refused to help and support every one of them. They are mentally draining me and yet i dont hate them. So im being the only Christian in the family, where and when does God come to my rescue? Thank you all.

Has anyone been through this i need encouragement. I dont bargin with God. I dearly love Him I love Jesus. But i dont think i can take anymore. Praise the Lord for being humble and forgiving. I would forgive tomorrow if only they would see what they do. I ask God to forgive them but how can that work if God is to take vengance on the wicked self centred .

God bless :-(

I opened a thread on this topic a year ago: 'where is God when you need him?'

I had a fair few replies from people equally concerned, but no solutions I regret to say. And, yes, narcissists are certainly not fun.

PM me if you want to talk, I'll be up another hour,

kindest regards, M&M

This may not be a Christian view exactly, but in a situation such as you describe, it is no use asking God to forgive them, it is up to you to forgive them, it is not so much a matter of, you should but more a matter of, can you find it within yourself to forgive them.
You should lay it all out before the Lord, reason with Him.
Talk with the Lord your God.
It does wonders.

Thank you, yes i would forgive i have a thousand times. Without God im nothing but if i didnt disapline myself i would do something drastic. It doesnt help that in this situation God isnt interviening.theyre hordering secrets and believe they deserve respect. When they givenone. Theyll say how wonderful they are yet theyre not. They really truly believe i should worship them. Theyre completely deluded. They chase money and owe money. I dont want to judge as its not my place so i have given it to God, but i wish to see the answer appear. I cannot live like this anymore. Its a life of misery. Its abuse.

Sounds like you are going to have to do something about your situation.
Don,t know your circumstances, but maybe you should give them a choice, either they change or your outta here.
Wish I could have been more help.
Never the less, put your case before the Lord.
The answer is there, it,s a case of seeing it.

Thank you. I wish them well. They will never change heart, and they'll always abuse my kindness and honesty. I've been questioning this for a very long time. I have spoken to them sadly to no avail. A problem is a compliment in there eyes. I was asked today but I couldn't raise the argument again because I don't want to hurt anyone. I'd rather hurt than to cause it. I suppose that's why I can't understand them. Part of me thinks that's why god has placed me in this family, and however it's no use. I have a father who does not care to remember my birthday but makes it clear he remembers my other siblings. I and I'm never offered. I truly believe the Devil has entered the weak minds and this is testing me. I seem to be the only one who care, and my mother makes excuses for all of them I can't even confide in her. They'll all rely on me but never seem to ask how I am. I feel so uncared for its not funny :-(, I cannot share my love for the Lord with family. They contradict and hypocrisy is strong. I will only love the Lord more than my own flesh and blood. Thanks again for answering xx

The answers for the Christian in such matters always are found in the bible, but that requires deep meditation, understanding and application in our lives if we are to discover God's perspective. I suggest that you consider deeply Rom 5: 1 - 5 in this respect;

Romans 5

New International Version (NIV)

Peace and Hope

"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."

Thank you a very reassuring passage from the bible which i read everyday. The Lord directed me to Isaiah and that comforted me too. God Bless
