Actually, I thought perhaps you had mistyped. That was the reason for my "huh". God has never done anything bad to me. When things go badly (and they have
many, many times), I don't blame Him. He's the one who has helped me through those times. I can't really even wrap my mind around your thoughts, and I'm not holding your honesty against you. It really just doesn't compute. I was raised by parents who
never had it good, who lost people they loved, who went through many painful experiences, who were never rich, and who, so long as they were saved,
never held those things against God.
I don't think its good to even voice those kinds of thoughts, but to rather rebuke them, when you feel them rising up within you.

Well, I have had a pretty sucky life. And it will most likely continue to be so, and most people who have known me for any length of time can guess as to some of the reasons why.
I know that I am not without responsibility, as well as the fact that we live in a fallen world...yadda yadda yadda...
So like I said I am honest about my struggles and doubts. Yes, I struggle often between what I KNOW and what I FEEL. Sometimes I FEEL that God is capricious, and I often wonder when he is going to cause me immense pain and suffering again, "for my own good". And sometimes I feel resentful. My lot in like really sucks, and I am trapped, no way out, and lucky me, I get to suffer for another 50 years.
I wish I could be all "praise the Lord, he smites me daily, hallelujah", but I am just not as spiritual as some.
LOL, I just read that over, and it really borders on bitter, and I'm really not. But yes, I do have trust issues.

Well, then, this whole thread is moot in reference to you in particular. Until you learn to trust God, everything else is for naught.
