I think im done with god.

Just remember, He is not done with you.

I'm feeling pretty discouraged and despairing now. All I can say is don't give up. Every bit of faith you have hold on and fight fiercely for it.

Sorry. I'm just at a low right now and I probably shouldn't be on here right now.

Listen to Philippians on audiobible. It's less than 20mins long. I marvelled at how much joy he had even though Paul was a prisoner at the time. That joy you get when submitted to Our Marvellous Creator.

I am sorry you are going through so much right now and feel like God isn't speaking. He speaks so often through His word. Seek Him out. He can turn any situation into good.

God bless you x

This is a good on. I like the introduction too.

I feel similarly. I think you'll be okay though, you just have to keep going. The low will go away.

That's your problem in the first place. You don't show God any reverence. You don't seem to fear or respect Him. He's nothing more than a genie to you and if you don't get what you want, you're going to take your ball and go home. None of the things going on in your life is God's fault. You are free to make your own decisions.

You say you're not the best Christian and you rarely pray, but then wonder why God doesn't speak to you? You have to draw near to Him first and you aren't. The bible talks all the time about how trials make us stronger, better people. We all endure them and while they suck while in the midst of them, I can often look back and be thankful I went through it and can see God's hand and fingerprints on everything.

And it's appointed for all people to die. We get sick, injured, and we die. He never guaranteed anyone would like a perfect, happy life because such a thing doesn't exist in our fallen, sinful world. You have freewill to make the decisions you do, as does everyone else. But the true glory doesn't come in this world, but the next.

I promise I'm not trying to be mean to you, but you can't go around and blame everyone else for your shortcomings. If you have no friends and feel lonely, then that's not God's fault. Go out and do more things. Sitting back and writing post after post after post, wallowing in your pain, over how lonely you are does NOTHING to fix the problem. Demanding that God take care of your needs and saying you feel far from Him when you can't even bother to pray regularly will do NOTHING to fix the problem.

Stand up, take action, and become more accountable to yourself. No one else is to blame for your weaknesses or lot in life. You're a grown woman and is capable of making her own decisions, good or bad. It's like the parable of sowing and reaping. Whatever you plant will grow back times ten in your life. Start planting some good, healthy seeds instead of bitter and negative and maybe things will start changing in your life.

P.S. I only speak confidently about this because I've been there. Complaining about it got me nowhere for years. I finally snapped out of it and took action. If you want your life to change, then you have to change your life. God will help you and be there for you, but He won't be your genie.

Just thought... maybe try getting in touch with a Pastor from another Church. Someone who can listen to all your hurts and support you. Direct you to solutions. He can pray for you etc

Feel so much compassion for you. God's people are meant to help, not make you feel like this x

I've tried that. I'm not trying to be difficult ..but I was in church before I was so loyal so faith that I caught a bus and train in the rain numerous times just to be treated like crap...so I know what you're saying I know it well.
Focusing on God just lead me to being taken advantage of, I prayed for years but got silence instead. I did deliverance ,went to revivals...I promise you...I've tried it. I have.

I just think I'm done because I've seen all there is to see except God himself(in my life)

You've tried it. Why not let God? HE will, HE really will.

I was once a very broken person and there was a time I thought HE wasn't listening or helping. I was in a desperate state. Then I realized, each time I would pray for HIM to come help, then get up off my knees and start trying to figure out what to do to fix my situation/s. 'ME'...I was trying to fix things, and they only got worse. I was worn out and thought God had truly forsaken me. In reality, "I" was NOT letting God do anything. When that sunk in, I sat back and cried out to HIM and did nothing to try and change a thing in my circumstance. I told HIM how weak and powerless I was and that I NEEDED Him to come do it.

I began to cry out to HIM, telling HIM how much I believed in HIM and how I loved HIM. I asked HIM why HE didn't come and do what HE said HE would. I told HIM I just could not do it any more. I asked HIM to come fulfill what HE promised...that those who trust in HIM would not be put to shame. I lamented and poured it all out to HIM. And then, just when it seemed so dark and hopeless, HE CAME and HE lifted me up. HE gave me strength. HE ministered to my broken spirit...and things have never been the same.

The Book of Job was very revealing to me as I read Job's prayers and cries to God (not that they were always right prayers) but Job never gave up, even though everything fell a part. That is key...NEVER GIVE UP.

Hi,
I'm one of those that has heard His voice, since at least about 15 years old. Have had instant healings from Him.
How do you approach God Almighty throughout the day?
Hi, God - just stopping to send you hugs? Do you talk to Him about His power? His mercy? His love? His lovingkindness to you? Do you call Him by the names out of the OT - as to your Provider - Jehovah -Jireh?

You're one of the lucky ones. I have done that. I just think god does what ever he will with whom ever he wills....even my former pastor told me he has mercy on whomever he wills...and I believe that to be true.

God can and will do whatever he wants.

You are lucky. I hope you never forget it.

How do you let God? Don't you have to do something? Even reading and praying is putting in some form of effort,.. I've cried before... I honestly don't kno2 what to do except give up because if I don't try there's nothing else to do except give up/ nothing.

My thing is...how do I let god do it if I can't hear him..if I can't hear him accurately... I can't do what he wants me to do...I just can't. That's my whole thing..I wanted god to change my life to move or do something great..but how if i,can't hear?

Don't give up, LET GO. Focus on your blessings, even tiny ones, like a nice day, a butterfly, a smile, anything. Make a habit of this, thanking God for the smallest things that give you some sort of gladness... the roof over your head, the food on your table...Focus on the good, let go of the bad, and a renewed perspective will guide you to a better place.

Yeah you're right...but I'm still done with God...now I see why people give up on god, have a chip on their shoulder when God is mentioned ....because God doesn't equally bless people...nor protect them...he lets some things happens to others and intervene for some. He's close to some and distant to others.....

You all have my blessings to continue being Christians...its hard...but especially when god just doesn't care about you. Nor cares to talk to you...then takes the only friend you had by letting them be mentally ill ...then bless others in your face... That's messed up and I'm out.

I wish you guys the best.
