I can't help think that you'd be better off thanking God for the million blessings you have had, and still have, than focusing on the things you think are cruel.
Million blessings? I have 4 blessings, and 100+ heartaches. I don't see why I can't complain and can't be angry with Him.
Believe me - if you've actually read my post - for 25 years I trusted Him just fine and cared about people. But guess what? Pssh. It was pretty much all for barely nothing!
I *always* thank God for the blessings I *do* have. I just think the other 99% of the time is absolutely horrifyingly cruel.
i'm not sure that's what he/she needs right now. in fact, i AM sure condescending platitudes is NOT what he/she needs. btw, its that kind of response to real hurt that makes the world respond to christians the way they do - thanks for proving them right.
It's not condescending platitudes, all that dwelling on the bad does is to make it the central focus of your life and trap you into a self-sustaining cycle of negativity.
not the point. when someone is that angry and hurting, all they need is someone to say "hey. its ok to hurt". all the "hey look at your blessings" is just putting a bandaid on a gushing wound, it doesn't help and actually irritates.
I know we don't talk much, but I find you to be a blessing to me whenever I read your comments. You are someone who helps me see the glory of God. Strange words coming from someone whom you barely know, I understand, but it's the honest truth.
There is a great deal of evil in the world, strangling it, wanting to shut off every crack through which light can enter. It makes sense that you would face great suffering and terrible pain. But I believe God wants to help you, that He's fighting for you even now. It's okay to be angry with Him. He wouldn't have taken all the anger and pain of the world onto Himself if it wasn't.
You're going to survive and you're going to be free. I just really fee convicted to say that for some reason. I don't know why, I just do.

Maybe I'm a yeller? Maybe I'm supposed to go outside and yell about things? ( I wouldn't mind that, honestly)
I feel better, thank you :)
