If a born again child of God gets out of line they may receive discipline from God their Father. So is God mad at His child, angered or disappointed may be the better word.

God has treated me with mercy and love all my life, even when i was unfaithful, but there is one this time when i was complaining a lot because of the hard stuff i was going through, that was the only time in my life God 'rebuked' me, sort of saying me to endure what i was going through and stop complaining.

Complaining too much is really bad, Israel couldn't get to the promised land because of that.

I felt God was resisting me for the first time in my life because i was complaining, i don't wish to do that again.

The fellowship with God, the Spirit etc.

I have not, but I have stumbled before. God sometimes uses our stumbling blocks as ways to learn from our mistakes and become stronger men and women in our faith and Christian walk of life.

 

[Joseph G]

The fellowship with God, the Spirit etc.

Yep.

I've experienced it, too. So did King David in the Psalms, amongst many other servants of God in Scripture. Even the Supreme example of His Son Jesus, Who in His humanity cried out His perplexity from the cross - TO the Father. Excellent example for us!

Once we have been so intimate with God, seen the beauty of His heart, been sheltered under His wing when we just couldn't handle something in our own strength or understanding, and learned to die daily so His Spirit can live in and through us, we become just a tad dependent on seeing His face and hearing His voice!

And that is exactly what He wants - our vulnerability. A perpetually open heart that extends His love at the risk of occasionally receiving pain from this world is the mark of a fruitful servant.

Good news for us whenever we do feel so unaccountably distant from Him for too long - that we cry out to Him to reveal if He is angry with us. Whether He is or isn't, here is a beautiful example of why we shouldn't crater and keep exalting the Name of Jesus out loud despite fear and doubt - our confidence that God has a purpose in all things and that the restoration of that sweet fellowship is just around the corner - if we keep waiting patiently - however long it lasts. There's no getting around His requirement of faith.

Just one example in Scripture that inspires faithful confidence of eventual restoration:

Isaiah 54:4-8 NIV

"Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame.
Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth
and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
For your Maker is your husband—
the Lord Almighty is his name—
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth.
The Lord will call you back
as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young,
only to be rejected,” says your God.
"For a brief moment I abandoned you,
but with deep compassion I will bring you back.
In a surge of anger
I hid my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness
I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord your Redeemer."

God bless!

I thought so, but it was just the result of humans that didn't know how to pray and ended up doing telepathy.

 

[Dave G.]

Even within the rebuke is God's love for us. Actually it's why He rebukes, why He convicts of sin for us to confess, why He chastises. Out of His love for His child, His sheep. When Jesus prepared to leave earth to sit at the right hand of the Father, He stated sending another as a helper. That is the Holy Spirit. God is always with us, even if He's rather quiet at times of our lives. But you must be born again.

God loves you.

I've disappointed Jesus so many times but I don't think He ever got angry with me. I've told Him that He should be angry with me but He's always been merciful, forgiving and keen to get me to return to Him.

Do you think He's mad with you?
I can tell you for certain that He's madly in love with you and thirsts for your love, affection and attention.

But could there be something blocking the flow of his love and blessing into your life?

Idk I feel anxiety coming on. I'm having such a mental slump I feel my panic attacks coming back.

You can do this, my sister in Christ. Remember, God will help you through this. Hey, you got into nursing school, so feel proud, and lift your head high for the Lord.

Be like this singer, and be confident in the Lord:

Dang, this song makes me get so close to tearing up. Found this cover of Casting Crowns - Who Am I, by the Asidors, a group of Asian musicians from the Philippines who moved to California that I have never heard until today. Relevant Bible verse for the song...

I'm struggling with anxiety and su** thoughts.

I'm struggling with anxiety and su** thoughts.

Remember, we will be there for you, just as God is. I have mild anxiety as well, though not major. Do you have any parents or trusted family members, or a pastor/priest you can talk with? I will pray for you.

You need to go to a medical doctor.

I am. Seeing a therapist soon.

 

[AlexB23]

Amen to that. Finally, I was waiting for you to say that also. You are going into nursing, so hopefully, you can get a discount on therapy, if there is such a thing as a discount for medical employees or students.
