Blaming and cursing God

[Grace2022]

So misguided!
I joined a bereavement group soon after my husband died. Extremely good and supportive. I still pop on there. Just a group not religious.
Trouble is many people on there regularly curse God, using the F word etc. Blaming him for their pain, going on about life being worthless and suicidal feelings. Understandable, up to a point of course. I just stay out of such discussions.
But observing them, i feel so sad that they rant and rail against God who they don't even believe exists! Pain is part of life. Nobody after all is spared from bereavement and death.
I have been through the pain of loss. My fellow congregation at church have all endured loss. The difference is that our love and dependence on God has increased the more pain we have endured. We know all strength comes to us.
Anyway it upsets me a lot to hear God and Jesus being insulted and sworn at.

I understand. My mother passed away yesterday, but I've experienced God's help and comfort many times, and I know that He'll always take care of me.

Non-believers are going to rant and rail against God when they experience loss.

And there's not a lot that you will be able to do to change that.

Unless you are there to minister to them, ... it might not be the best place for you to find comfort ...

Awwwwwww what a heart wrenching dilemma, sis. What is all their pain, anger, and rage ABOUT? It sounds like there's some very RAW grief and excruciating pain there......some seeeeeriously deeeep woundings. Layers, even.

They don't KNOW God, dear heart. They just know how torn up they are, and ripped to pieces, and like their soul is a crumpled heap on the floor, maybe?

What do you think they need, BIG TIME, dear heart? (((Hug)))

Thank you, Brinny, but my losses are now ancient history - the most recent ~4 years ago, and the previous ~43 years.

I'm sorry for your double loss.

My mother was ninety-three; we couldn't expect her to be around forever. Thank you for your condolences.

==================================
Reading Psalms has helped a lot of people seeking God's Peace And Understanding from HIM and from His Word.

Realize that all around us every day people are blatantly being evil and wicked , more every day, even on forums/ all over the internet, and especially on all television, etc ....

Yes, it grieves us for their soul's sakes, and as God directs, PRAY for them a blessing, when God Permits.

See the Psalms again, and PRAY the PSALMS as God grants His Understanding.

People will ignore the Lord's commandments, and then the resulting pain sets in, and they blame the Lord sometimes.

I am sorry for your loss

Once, I cursed God. It took me half a day to come back in tears and ask for an apology. What we must understand is that life is a learning experience for us, a chance to become godly characters. This also means that everything is a lesson that ought to bring us closer to God. At least, this is how I view this. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 tells us to give thanks to God in all circumstances. Always remember Job. That guy had it tougher than mst of us and yet, he always held on to God

 

[Grace2022]

Hi Frater
That's good. You sought God's forgiveness and He always responds. We all go wrong sometimes and God knows. It is those who repeatedly maintain cold accusatory hearts who will come to grief. They cannot curse God and gain peace or happiness here or eternally.

 

[frater_domus]

It is those who repeatedly maintain cold accusatory hearts who will come to grief.

Ephesians 4:26. We're all angry from time to time. Deliberate persistence is what separates a natural impulse from a cold and hard heart. Well said
