1. We are instantly *started over* with God when we return to him. There is no apprenticeship involved or testing period.Broke up with bf, still dealing with crappy family, still have deep resentment for God.

Kind of tough to love Him when you resent Him. He knows your heart. One thing for sure, any resentment in your heart is due to your own actions that causes your repeated separation. Examine yourself first before you completely turn away from Him forever.Broke up with bf, still dealing with crappy family, still have deep resentment for God.

Im trying not to be bitter.
I am sorry to hear what you're going through. However, can you help me understand where God promises you would have good, healthy relationships with significant others and family? It sounds like you are resenting God for not giving you what you want rather than not living up to His obligations. I suggest you start from the beginning and ask God to teach you the Gospel again and your identity in Christ.Broke up with bf, still dealing with crappy family, still have deep resentment for God.

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
That's exactly how I feel when it comes to my own life.i dont have faith he will help me just do what he wants despite how I feel.
How do you treat God? Is he some distant relative that you never call? Or is he thathigh Father incredible friend that you share your deepest secrets with?Broke up with bf, still dealing with crappy family, still have deep resentment for God.

Can u explain this a bit more? I believe in practical help i just dont have people that i can go to to confide in. I just dont.What are you praying for? Help? Someone to understand? Someone to listen? Then tell someone. In addition to praying, actually tell someone. You need a real human being to walk beside you, and if you don't speak up, I guarantee nothing will happen.
This idea that God sometimes answers yes, sometimes no, sometimes maybe is nonsense. If you don't do something,nothing happens, and the religious ones will tell you God answered no, or has a different plan. I fell for this and was disillusioned.
Do something, okay?
Its not just that but I need help too and I feel like Im not getting that help I need despite doing my part and everything possible. Juat seems like he's just laughing at me while I struggle or purposely blocking me. Its beyond annoying and makes me want to givw up on God bc other people tell of how he helped them and idk i just feel he doesnt want to help mw or likes me or something.Why would you have resentment for God because members of your family are not close to Him? God isn't the source of their rejection and their behaviors, they are. God calls them to come close to Him and to be healed. If they refuse to do so, that's their fault, not God's. Likewise yourself. Why would the sins of other people cause you to turn away from God? He is calling you to Himself. The closer you come to Him, the better you will be able to deal with problems caused by other humans, and the more peaceful you will be in dealing with such problems.
Don't try it in just your own strength. Take help of the one who you 'resent and have no faith'! Crazy I know. But, that's the only way we can fight/win that bitterness within us.
This is coming from a person (me) who has just finished suffering a week long depression, bitterness and resentfulness towards God and sulking throughout the week about how I "think" he betrayed me when I needed Him the most. It's like you are angry with God and you hate that feeling.
Battling bitterness is hard, I know. Remember God says in Revelation 3:21 - "To him who overcomes ...." and the promised reward in that verse is worth the fight!
After all the bitterness, If you find yourself with that little urge/longing to go back to HIM, consider it as no random feeling, It's HIM calling you back. He wants you back as much as you do. Don't let any lie stop you from going back.
