I don't believe in God anymore. God has let me down more times than I can count. He is not there helping me, he is trying to ruin me. Every prayer goes unanswered. And when I pray, I get the opposite of what I want and pray for.
I totally give up.

You know what I've heard a million times - you can't be mad at God and not believe in Him.
I’m sorry you’re having a rough go of things. I promise you, He is there and He loves you immeasurably. I am praying for you and hope things get better. |

My belief in God has been hurting me though. Three months ago, I started praying for God to save me from my misery at work, I went through a month-long interview process, and in the end, didn't get the job offer, and neither did the other candidate. I am stuck suffering immensely in my job, working under two abusive personalities and have been for 2.5 years, but God is not answering my prayer to be saved from the abuse and bullying. When I prayed to God years ago for a man to marry, the very next man I met wanted to marry me, and I thought God had answered my prayers. This man turned out to be an abusive narcissist, who caused me immense harm. God also allowed my abusive ex husband to move within a quarter of a mile from me for a whole year, taking away all of my newfound happiness and freedom I had found after our divorce. God allowed this to happen, after I had already been abused for four years by my ex. And when I've prayed to God to give me a good job, one that I will be happy in, he gives me a job where I am bullied and abused? When I've already been bullied and abused in several jobs? How can I not be angry at God and how can I not feel he has failed me? How can I believe that God loves me and is protecting me, because whenever I pray for something I get the opposite of what I'm praying for? My belief in God is harming me... It's incredibly difficult to not think this way?

It is an incredibly human thing to think God has failed you or doesn’t care. I’ve been there myself. It is so hard to be persistent in prayer and trusting Him through hardship. One of the most influential things is finding community and people who will pray with and for you. This might not be helpful advice for you, and I’m sorry if it isn’t. But please know that God loves you, and I will send up prayers for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
