Can God get annoyed or Irritated?

[Missyjojo88]

Hello all,

I know I may seem childish, but at times I purposely try to irritated God, most likely out of boredom. I don't know what God must think of me, but sometimes I can be a little crazy. At times I would constantly ask God for the same thing although the answer may be no. When I pray for something that I want, I will constantly bring it up to see if I can get him to change his mind, even though I know he will always win, I see it as a challenge. It's mostly about healing so I'm not asking him for something that would cause me to sin or something that he wouldn't want me to ask for.

Another problem I have is that I want to get closer to God, but I'm struggling with some mental issues. God has taking me from some low places so I am still dealing with the aftermath of these issues. Nevertheless, I have seen a very big progress both spiritualy and physicaly and I know God is fixing me. I have been reading the scripture, but I feel like I am not going deep enough. I also try to pray for at least two hours a day, but after 45 minutes of praying I run out of things to say. I also wanted to fast, but my stomach says otherwise. Ironically, when I don't have any appetite, I don't fast. I also deal with anger issues and idleness, which I need to be delivered from.

Well, I know this topic maybe useless, but am I the only one that have purposely tried to annoy or irritate God? I don't really think I've succeded though, but can God eventually become angry or do you think he does not mind? I have to admit that I smile when I think about how annoying I can be. But I don't make a habit of it, I can also be serious and not give God the attention he deserves.

The reason I'm writing this is because I used to have this lay back attitude when it comes to seeking God. Like I had no problems with not hearing or feeling the presence of God because my faith would be strong and I always knew he was there more so when I don't have the evidence. Now, I recently felt insecure, like God has been quiet recently, although it's not the first time, I am a little worried. Sorry I type so much. Lastly, I love God and can't wait to hear from him. Sorry you had to hear my ranting, but this may be some form of therapy for me. Well I have to go and God Bless.

Have you ever thanked Him for your healing? Scripture does say that you were healed. I say, ask God to show you that you were healed if that is what He intended you to believe and stand upon, based on what scripture says. Our struggle here is to, "keep doubt out" as my wife says. *If scripture says we were healed...

1 Pet 2:24: He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed.

One more thing: Why do you see and feel your infirmity? Because satan uses this physical world physically against us. For example, things that feel good aren't necessarily good, are they? They are a lie--a twisted, physical temptation presented to you: a physical deception. *So is the physical infirmity you feel--it's really there...but you were healed!

God says to remind Him of what He says in His Word. I say ask--then act upon the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

It may sound strange to say outright like this, but obedience is a good thing--it's good for you--it's really what you want to do--satan just plays his game of confusion and temptation with us here. When in doubt, obey and enjoy your relationship with God as He reveals Himself to you. He loves you!

Missyjojo,

you are trying SO HARD to please God, and you've burnt yourself out trying to do it.

Understand that He loves you, not for being religious about how long you pray, denying yourself food and comfort, beating yourself up for failing, but because you are His precious little daugheter.

Oh dear sister, bless you.
Let Him in, let Him make Himself heard above the cacophony of your thoughts and fears.

Find something that "works" for you - a walk in the park, some tender worship music, a long soak in the bath, in your church, in your room - and let Him come and bless you with His presence. Everything else can be worked out in time,His time, but you need to hear Him whatever way you can first.

That is what he requires of you, that is all for now; to meet with Him, somehow, however you can, just meet with Him.

Praying for you sis.

God bless, love Sue

God bless you sis. I'll be praying for God to continue His work. I believe that God can become annoyed, we are made in His image why would He not have all the emotions we do? (though He is uberly patient with us).

Your conditions do not sway God, but God can sway your conditions.

You guys have been very helpful in your replies and I realize I need to stop being selfish and focus on pleasing God instead. I don't think God is angry at me because I have talked to him about this, but I guess the enemy has been using my insecurities to get me to worry about my walk with God. I have a long way to go in my spiritual maturity. I think I may have made it sound worst than it actually is. I do have a good relationship with God but at times I will do stupid things such as trying to bargain with him, making promises to get him to react, asking him useless questions, and talking nonsense. I don't take it as far as mocking, but if I did, it wouldn't be on purpose. The last thing that I want to do is to provoke God. I even asked if I was getting on his nerves, he didn't say anything. I will pray again and ask him for an answer. This is what happens in times of boredom in my case or it may just be the Jacob complex. I certainly will apologize to God if I have provoked him in anyway, but I will still pray on the situation until he says no. Also at times I tend to forget that He is God Al'Mighty and does not have the same attribute as man, but that can be a little tricky. But I will surely work on these flaws of mines and the holy spirit will take care of the rest. Thanks for your prayers, I really need it.

Thanks again and God bless

Missyjo, did you have a mom or dad that got angry with you, impatient, etc? We tend to think that God is like our parents in a way and so we expect Him to react like our mom or dad. Abba has been teaching me what a father or mother really is--and what love is. Our parents were imperfect, but His Love and Goodness is perfect! Love, Lara

No, I don't think you have annoyed God. His patience is great, much greater than we can imagine. But ask yourself why you are doing what you are doing. Obviously there is a conviction there, so you know it is something God doesn't approve of. And it's not necessarily the act, but rather the motive behind it. You should ask Him to help you figure out why you are doing this, and to help you stop.

God Bless

Hello again,

Throughout my life the friends that I had were mostly none christians. In those relationships, I didn't put much effort in them. Such as I don't like talking on the phone, but don't mind if it is certain people who call me. So these people were friends for the outside. Although, I did manage to still be friends with a two of them, I don't see them all the time (I don't think God want me to hang with them with some good reasons). I do have a christian friend, but again college, jobs, and busy schedule has inable us to hang out as much, the fact that I don't like talkig on the phone makes it worst. The other christians friends that I could have become close to were doing things that were as bad as those who were not christians.

So I am in a place in my life where I am mostly alone because everyone is doing something else. I think God allow this to happen because I wasn't seeking him throughout my life as a christian should and was focus and making my flesh happy. I wasn't trying to get to know God, but I was goign to God and asking him if the guy and I can be together (nothing really happened with this). So about 3 years ago God came for me and cleanse me. Delivered me from spiritual death and depression. During these three years I have learn so much and grown so much in God, but all my friends are gone, but maybe 2 or 3 whom I rarely see. I am introverted, but I don't know if it is due to my childhood experiences or if it is just my personality.

My parents are the best but they are not perfect. I was lucky to be born into a christian family so they did their job as parents. But I never came to them about any personal problems that I was having. All my problems were always between me and God, not even my friends knew about them, unless they were not that big of a deal. Till this day I never go to them with these things. My sister is the same way also. I don't think she went to them with any personal isssues. My brother is 14 years old so I can't really say much on him. I think its a family thing who knows, but they are great as parents, but not as friends. My parents once told me how they could not understand my personality. Some of my friends would say how hard it was to figure me out. I manage to be friends with them while not being too intimate with them. Only a few knew more about me.

The point is I only have God now and no one else. I am not unhappy for being alone at this moment, I really am not. But I have this personality that is hard to figure out. Even in my church I don't have a group to hang out with, I don't have friends there. The funny thing is I've been in that church for most of my life while other people who just came recently have already intermingled in the church. I on the otherhand am outside looking in.

I pray to God last night and ask him a question about my relationship with him. I had this dream which I believe is of God. I'm trying to figure out what it is saying, if it's about my annoying him. If it is I will tell you what he says.

Thanks for the help and God Bless

Missyjojo,

all I can say is you are in the right place; God has brought you here for a purpose, and ALL His purposes are good ones!

Hang around here sister, and keep talking. Let's see what He is going to do in you!

God bless you, love Sue

I also deal with anger issues and idleness, which I need to be delivered from.



Well, I know this topic maybe useless, but am I the only one that have purposely tried to annoy or irritate God? I don't really think I've succeded though, but can God eventually become angry or do you think he does not mind? I have to admit that I smile when I think about how annoying I can be. /QUOTE]

hi missy, i have thought a bit re your post, and so i have copied 2 portions.

"IF" someone tried to purposely annoy
"YOU", and on top of it you knew that this behavior toward you made them smile, what would you think?? how would it make you feel??

God will only help anger issues and idleness, IF we really want to change thru repentence. "WE" have control over our heart. and sadly, it seems you find pleasure and joy in being disrespectful and mean to God?? you enjoy provoking Him.

this is also abusive. something to ponder is if you also do this to the people in your life??

if someone was disrespectful to me, and also found pleasure in trying to provoke and manipulate me, i would be silent and walk away.

God loves us, but He can also be silent as He steps back.

you might benefit from counseling, because this behavior mot likely flows over into other relationships in your life, and it is defined as abuse.

also, one form of witchcraft is to "manipulate" someone for control. (please consider reading a book by rick godwin: witchcraft in the church.)

God is not to be mocked, and disrespected. we dont abuse someone we "claim" to love.
