I agree with you brother to the point that if you are loosing faith and in that dark place where you are feeling spiritually distressed, than those who start quoting Bible verses to you and make you feel guilty for even having these feelings, does not help at all.very easy to say, try waiting for decades for something that is never a direct promise in the Bible when you have the ability
to do it natures way, and the way God uses for the 99.99%
I wish myself and other Christians would be much more compassionate and at least acknowledge that someone is human and sometimes feels overwhelmed. We all do, but most will not extend a hand of compassion to anyone.
What I will say again is have you thought that maybe you thought God was calling you to a certain lifestyle and maybe He wasn't? I'm only saying this because I've made in a wierd way the same mistake, but the opposite. I thought that God had picked out a good Christian for my second marriage because I messed up the first one so bad. But after we were married a year, I began to wonder if maybe I just thought that this is what God was telling me, something to think about.
God bless.
Brothers and sisters. I exhort you to use compassion and at least let someone feel the way they feel. Maybe it is right, maybe it is wrong, but it is their feelings and this person is laying his heart out to us. The Bible is wonderful, but sometimes we do not need to lay out Bible verses (I can't believe I said that) to someone who needs acknowledgement. The Bible should be learned with love, the way the Holy Spirit teaches us, not during our most down trodden moments to teach some lesson using scripture.
