Title is explanatory. Today I realized that God isn't coming for me and isn't going to rescue me from the hell I've created for myself. I knew my mistake was too bad for me to have the life He wanted for me ever again and now I just have to accept that. I don't want to spend the rest of my life miserable and am realizing that if I want to have peace and joy, I have to create them for myself because God no longer wants those things for me.

I read scripture, try to believe the right things, go to church, have tried to forgive myself, wait, pray constantly, but reminders of what happened never go away and they aren't going to. I'm leaving God because I have nowhere else to go and He has nothing left for me. I font know what's going on in life or why I can't get past this pain, but it's over for me and it has been. I'm giving back my crown.

The only sin that can't be forgiven is rejection of The Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. You need to confess your sins to God and pray for forgiveness. God will give you peace.

1 John 1:8-9 KJV If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I've asked for forgiveness more times than I can count.

You can walk away from God. It is a good thing He will keep after you. Some day, you will sort out just how He wishes to deal with you differently than your life has taught you up until now, and you will discover that He has something for you that you cannot expect with what you now know. Then you will realize that what you are now trying to do for yourself, is what he has been trying to get you to understand about His gifts to you all along.

Consider living in the moment. Did you know when the reminders wont forgive you (assumption people) they seek to be judged by one who can destroy souls too. Self, is most important to forgive. It maybe that you need a change of the three P's people, places and playgrounds. A mind of judgment is the hardest thing in Romans 12:2 to overcome and replace it with a mind of forgiveness (self, first.). All one can say is you know what, reminds you of what. It is up to you to gain courage to change that what.

God is not pleased with me anymore because He gave me the best life I ever had, and I made a mistake and threw it away. I believe He has only forgiven me enough to keep me out of hell, but not enough to want to give me a second chance at living the life He wants for me. I also believe that He is not as pleased with me as some of my other believing friends because I don't do as many works for Him as they do. I want to make it up to God but know I can't and believe that He is asking me to pay for what I did by living the consequences, which is having a life that is less blessed than what it could have been. He has not fully forgiven me and won't. :(

Well, if God actually doesn't want good things for you, then walking away from him isn't going to help you.

Following God - really following God - isn't going to bind you to doom, gloom, and shame. That is simply not what he has for his followers.

You say you've tried forgiving yourself and it doesn't seem to be working for you - but you do realize that if you whether you believe in God or not, you have to forgive yourself if you are going to be happy? God has no problems with you forgiving yourself if you have sincerely asked his forgiveness first, so there is literally no reason to leave.

He is offended and insulted by what I did even though the decision I made was done only out of a desire to please Him based on what I thought was right at the time because I was still very new in faith. I want a second chance to do what He had planned, but it isn't coming, and if I walk away then I can't fail Him anymore...

What you're believing isn't what Christianity teaches.

No, walking away means you're failing him as long as you stay away.

Know that this format can not show the meekness of what is written herein but is the intention of this consider this post.

Who tells you good works lead to God, not God, for if so, then this is a lie Matthew 6:1. Ponder this ... In law, good works came from people who have the "Look at me aren't I righteous" doing the good works and they appear on the outside to be righteous as this verse applies to them Matthew 23:27. I stress to you , people are not the way. None are righteous, no not one Romans 3:10. Now, in your mind, you are thinking they now set themselves above you in a mistake . Most likely they do and that separates true righteousness from humanized righteousness where God forgives but people wont , self included. Sin/mistakes...are. Is it not how we deal with it that shows true righteousness through God ? Did not Jesus say as we killed him, "forgive them Father for they know not what they do"?

It is in the mistake where you start to see others as non forgiving that ultimately stops your Spiritual growth for they either reaffirm the mistake or in your mind God thinks like people, including self, that do not forget a sin/mistake when He tells you He does. One is caught in a loop algorithm of are they judging me, and/or why do I judge myself and cant forgive myself?

I reiterate , that is a mind in judgment from self and someone taught you this for God does not. Basically, you have been betrayed by people in sincere ignorance that judgment is the way to God, even by the ones we love the most.

Sin was my lover for thirty years when my mind snapped trying to operate in judgment so I know a little about your situation (not the mistake itself which would not compare to my plethora of mistakes even to loved ones.) as people and church snapped my mind in sincere ignorance.

Ponder this verse to forgiving self, Matthew 18:22. Then ponder , who taught my mind "NOT" to think like this ? One will find it started from childhood of a mind conformed to this world. Now set yourself up in the Word for a season (sanctification between you, prayer Word and God and sincerely ask Him for spiritual wisdom ) to be transformed Romans 12:2. This can only be taught through Proverbs 3:5. It is up to you in who you follow, people or God?

In hopes this shows insight that your mind has been savaged by this world... Let God love you for a season in his truth. Pray for that spiritual wisdom , erase your mind of taught ways and read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 applied to you alone. Read that until you believe it through & through. Once you believe it jump to 1 John 4:8 and know His love is more massive than your mistake 7 x 70 .

In closing, for me, I imagine a title wave (His Grace/Love) and I am an ant on the beach looking at the massiveness of it that covers all my mistakes past and future. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Godislove we all do things that don't please God, but that doesn't mean we have to walk away and that he loves us any less. I think the accuser is accusing you and wants you to believe that you are less than you are. Cast down those thoughts and bring them into captivity. You are blessed in the Lord.

I have seen this before, which is why I am certain these are God's answers: So you walked away looking for something even better. That means you trusted Him enough to give it to you. Right now, staying out of hell is all you can think about, and that's fine - for now. God is preparing you for things your friends cannot even imagine. None of us "makes things up" to God: He makes things for us. Of course, there are consequences, but He is on top of the situation.

Works do NOT please God, seeking Him does. Whether you realize it or not, that is what you are doing. And in time, like others I have known, God will have surprises for you that will amaze you, and your older Christian friends.

:heart: Bless yer heart, He is not "finished" with you, precious one, who He loves dearly. If you will allow me too, i will pray for you, beloved of the Most High.

He LOVES you, dear one, regardless of what the enemy is throwing at you and inundating you with. Take yer weary self to Him, and just tell Him all that is in yer heart (just like David did) and He will take it from there,and minister to you and be the Lifter of yer precious head. His grace and mercy are demonstrated by the father and the prodigal son. How precious is THAT???!!!

The problem is, I'm so emotionally messed up and confused that I don't even know where to start from or what to pray for. It even takes effort to cry and most of the time I feel like a tin can being crushed.

The trouble with having a plan to walk away from God is . . . it can't be done. There is no away from God.

But God actually loves you and wants good things for you.

I'll be saying a prayer on your behalf.

You can cry and talk to Jesus. Like 'Lord I am so confused right now and so distraught. Please bless me with more peace, with clearer understanding of situations so I am not so easily overwhelmed. Give me the faith to cast some of my cares on you Lord. I know these problems I carry are heavy but your yoke is light. Help me have more faith. Help me to see things through spiritual eyes and not just how my problems affect me.

I know that problems are the way we learn and thank you for loving me so. I know from Your Word that you will never leave me or forsake me. You are faithful, just and perfectly righteous and cannot break Your Word. Thank you Lord for giving me the promises in Your Word that I can stand firm upon in my time of trouble and dispair. I can tell you my deepest thoughts, fears and dreams and You want to hear them. You enjoy your time with me. You call me your beloved, and You know the number of hairs on my head. That I can come to You, not only in joy but also in sorrow. You listen to every word in every prayer. Thank you Jesus for Your undying love and Your righteousness that I can always depend on. Amen.

Just lay your heart out. Tell Him your problem and then ask for what you will need to handle the same type of problem in the future. What would make it easier next time. Thank Him for the blessings you have. It will help you to because it will make you appreciate some of the good things in your life.

You can even read scripture like a chapter aloud and then talk to Him about what it says. What you learned. You can also sing in your mind. I'll just use for example Amazing Grace since we all know of it. Pick a song of praise and worship.


You could also keep a journal of your life and then pray and talk about the words you wrote down. It helps to have topics sometimes.

Another thing I do is listen to Christian radio. So many good worship songs to sing along too. Just praise God. It helps. The station I listen to is called 'K Love' if you Google it you will find their website and on the main page at the top it says Listen to K Love or something like that and you can listen from their website.

Hope this helps. God bless.

Don't give up on God. You will find peace and joy, trust me. I'm am very disturbed and for a long time I lived I nightmarish hell on earth, that my sin created, but I persevered until finally I got what I hoped for. Sometimes the joy is so intense I feel like my heart will fly from my chest. I still have times of hardship but the joy is very nice and I'm growing.
