Broke up with bf, still dealing with crappy family, still have deep resentment for God.

Not sure how to start over with God bc i dont have faith he will help me just do what he wants despite how I feel.

Contrary to popular belief, there is only so much God can do without violating the free will of His creations. Think of it in this manner; suffering is an essential part of the human experience. We would never change or progress without it. Instead of resenting the bad, take some time to process your grievances and accept them for what they are. You don't have to let these things shape you for the worse.

In terms of starting over with God; He is always there. There won't always be an easy solution to your problems, but you can at least rest easy knowing that He'll be rooting for you and waiting at the finish line. Even the worst pain fades with time :^)

Hi, keep pressing on with faith in God. You may try reading The Daily Bread devotional from https://odb.org/
God is a loving Father; He will accept you as you come to Him. As a loving good earthly father does not give up on the child who throws tantrums, so our heavenly Father is good to all who call on Him. You may visit a church and ask for Christian counseling, if possible in this covid situation.
When we return to God, He welcomes us with open arms. it is through difficulties and trials in our lives, that our faith is strengthened.
Try reading the Bible every morning. You may read Psalms or John as a start.
I just said a prayer for you. God bless you.

This is a good answer. Its just i ask for really simple things like just moving out but things get in the way like my son sons health, car accident ect and im just stuck with my trying parents. Thats hard to deal with daily.
Im yrying not to be bitter.

I got away, but my trying relatives influenced my children through letters, emails, and visits. I totally understand having sorrows poured out on us. I need God in my life. He's going to keep making me compassionate.

Depend on Him and read your Bible as often as you can.

Never, never, never give up! God will help you when the time is right. Ignore the naysayers.

The reason my family still influenced my children was that one of them stayed in touch with an unbelieving relative. But I always pray for God's will to be done.

Maybe you are blessed with parents who have taken you and your child in. Could it be they love you and want what is best for you and their Grandson? Could it be that God sees things more clearly than you do at this point in your life?

The first step is always the hardest. The end of a matter is better than its beginning. Focus on the results. Don’t allow the present to derail you. :yellowheart:

They care on some level but the name calling and ignoring isnt right.

Try this. Tell them you love them, ask them if they love you, tell then how much the name calling and ignoring hurts you, ask them to stop. Each time then hurt you ask them again if they love you, tell them what they just did hurt you. Parents sometime show their pain by getting angry, why would they be angry, well maybe because they see you as being a girl who has a bright future, is smart and beautiful but who is making decisions that they do not agree with and is harming herself. When you love someone you want the best for them.

God sees the full picture, we see only in part. It's better to consider God as being in your situation alongside you, as Father, Brother, and faithful Friend. Trials will change us in either of two ways - they will drive us from God, as we blame Him and turn bitter, or they will draw us toward Him, and we realize we cannot make it alone. Remember, God did not cause the evils in this world, but He did stick with us through them when He didn't have to. It's hard when the deliverance doesn't come when we want or think we need it. Definitely keep on praying, but pray with more of a focus on God's goodness, and on the goodness He's already showed you and is showing you. This will be a protection for your heart, and it taps into the grace and faithfulness of God in ways that can either change your present situation or make a way out of it.

I just heard this one. A husband and wife who had been married a long time are driving together. And the wife is hunched against the door and says, "what happened to us? We used to sit shoulder to shoulder". And the husband said, "I'm still in the same spot as always. I haven't moved".

Broke up with bf, still dealing with crappy family, still have deep resentment for God.

Not sure how to start over with God bc i dont have faith he will help me just do what he wants despite how I feel.
Once, after being too afraid, I finally asked The Lord ‘why did you allow ‘that’ to happen?’
The answer I got floored me,
‘to show you how easily you can be deceived’.
Pick yourself up, get back to God, and test EVERY spirit. Try reading Jesus’ warnings about what happens to believers who allow themselves to be deceived...Then don’t allow it to happen again my love :)
Numbers 6:24-26

been there, but out of the frying pan into the fire. What I should have done, was have a relationship break, and seek only The Lord. Learn from my mistakes :)
Bitterness is horrible
