I feel as if most of us truly walking with The Father have felt this way at some point in their life. There was one time in my life where I was at my limit, and I prayed to The Lord for Him to take my life. Instead, the next day a new opportunity presented itself, and I started down a new and better path. In times of hardship, I often remind myself this is not our true home. The way I see it, our tribulations in this mortal realm are similar to the refinement of a precious metal. A rough piece of ore is thrown into the crucible, where fire and pressure burn away the impurities, and may be hit with a hammer for good measure. The result is a fine ring of gold that reflects the light, with dazzling diamonds soldered to it's surface. The point of my metaphor is that our tribulations are temporary compared to eternity, and that as hard as they may be (trust me I know), they are merely but a prologue to something great.Appreciate you guys talking about this stuff and very happy for OP. I have always tried to remain God's son, and I always rely on him to protect me and my family from evil and I will never deny or blame him. I try to live by the greatest 10 rules. But my question is....have any of you ever had your faith shattered? Have you ever felt like even though we have been taught he will never give us more than we can carry, that you are at that limit? I have really been down on my luck lately. Seems everything is against me, including me. Deep down, I am a little angry at God, but it don't mean I don't believe....I just don't understand, and I guess that is ok, we are not suppose to understand it all....right? But there are times I really feel like God is angry with me right now. Is that even possible? I lay down every night with anger in my heart. I have no room in my soul to forgive a few people. I will go to my grave and never forgive them, that is just how it is. I know I should be counting my blessings, I have been very blessed. Am I stuck between the old proverbial rock and a hard space? Forgive or live tormented? Sorry to be Debbie Downer and hijack your post.......just kind of hoping some of you have some words of wisdom.
