Praying that God hear your words and make them into sincere words within you... and that He lead you then along His pathway until the end of your allotted time as a fallible man.
I really do wish we, here could "tell you what to do"....God does tell us through His Word and our total submission no matter what situation we are in. I pray that you will submit ALL to God, but you cannot keep getting angry at the only one who can bless you.
Yes, it is not easy at all, I have been there where I would get angry with God, but very shortly after, I was on my face asking His forgiveness as, He won't do a thing for us otherwise, even if we are in the midst of longsuffering.
Jesus, the man, knew that he was going to be tortured suffering great pain which would lead to his death. He in the flesh like most all of us did not want to suffer pain like that. He prayed to God about it here:
| Mt 26:39 | And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. |
| Ac 21:10 | And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus. |
| Ac 21:11 | And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. |
| Ac 21:12 | And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. |
| Ac 21:13 | Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. |
Have you taken a vote from of all humanity or from all of those claiming in particular to be Christians before announcing yourself to be a representative voice on their behalf. Speak for yourself. Job did. Jonah did. Did they get all of what they expressed as their own way... or did it not go as God intended it. Either choose God or choose yourself, but do not try to tell God how it should be. Things do not work that way. Jeremiah writes as to how it is:
| Jer 10:23 | O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. |
| Ps 119:5 | O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! |
The same God, who is there for us in the midnight hour is the same God Who is able to wide our tears away. He is the same God Who is there inside of lack and want. He is Jehovah our great provider
No, of course not... not that is according to the ways of the flesh in which most people live their natural lives. Christians are also people in the flesh and until and if God helps them they cannot simply sacrifice themselves. Will God help us? Certainly! Have we sincerely asked of Him? In asking, remember what James wrote here:
| Jas 4:1 | From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? |
| Jas 4:2 | Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. |
| Jas 4:3 | Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. |
Without any doubt, but which of them is too difficult for God to understand and to handle His Way?
I am not God. Do you believe that God does not know the answer to your question? Consider what is written here:
| Heb 2:18 | For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. |
| Heb 4:14 | Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. |
| Heb 4:15 | For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. |
Must a person understand all of the answers always?
| Ro 1:17 | For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. |
| 1co 13:12 | For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. |
| Ps 30:5 | ...in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. |
Unfortunately, my friend, you along with the rest of us are here for the duration... however long that may be in each case. You certainly may not be able to handle it well alone, but you must handle what is put on your plate. God is willing to help you handle it, but do not expect Him to remove what is on the plate. Read about Hezekiah here:
| 2ki 20:1 | In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. |
| 2ki 20:2 | Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying, |
| 2ki 20:3 | I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. |
| 2ki 20:4 | And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying, |
| 2ki 20:5 | Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD. |
| 2ki 20:6 | And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. |
| 2ki 20:7 | And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. |
