Let the Bible show the answer of what God thinks:
"As a father shows mercy to his sons,
Jehovah God has shown mercy to those obeying him.
For he himself well knows the formation of us,
Remembering that we are dust." (Psalms 103:13-14)
"If errors were what you watch, O Jah,
O Jehovah, who could stand?" (Psalms 130:3)
be good!

This has been a very interesting topic. I love my Lord and know that it has been a while since I was really really mad at God. But I have been. But what was quickened in my heart was
that although it is permitted to be angry, what isn't permitted is anger and sin mingled together Ephesians 4:26 "Be angry, and do Notsin" do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.
I am also reminded that we serve a HOLY HOLY HOLY GOD. Remember Isaiah? Isaiah 6 when he saw the Lord he fell on his face and said I am a man of unclean lips. He was not even able to look up!
So my point? Yes be angry and saddened at the sinfullness of the world, the injustice of brother against brother or Mom and Daughter or Father and Daughter etc etc, but please know that raising a fist at God will not bring the healing of heart and mind and closeness to Him that we all so desire. That has been my experience. When we let the devil fill us with doubt or a sense of entitlement then we get on a slippery slope. We are but dust and we are honored and priveleged to be his children. I hope this makes sense. Love and prayers to us on as we work out or salvation with fear and trembling (reverance)

I read and understand that most of those that have felt or feel mad or ungry to God is because of suffering or injustice of some sort. However the question is: Is really God the one to blaime?
WHY SO MUCH SUFFERING?
Often, the response is that suffering is God’s will and that he long ago determined everything that would ever happen, including tragic events. Many are told that God’s ways are mysterious or that he brings death upon people—even children—so that he can have them in heaven with him. As the Bible proves, Jehovah God never causes what is bad. The Bible says: "Far be it from the true God to act wickedly, and the Almighty to act unjustly!”—Job 34:10.
One of the reasons that you might be blaming God for all the suffering in the world and for what you had gone thru, might be because you think that he is the real ruler of this world. Remember or be known of a simple but important truth that the Bible teaches. The real ruler of this world is Satan the Devil.
The Bible clearly states: “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19) When you think about it, does that not make sense? This world reflects the personality of the invisible spirit creature who is “misleading the entire inhabited earth.” (Revelation 12:9) Satan is hateful, deceptive, and cruel. So the world, under his influence, is full of hatred, deceit, and cruelty. That is one reason why there is so much suffering.
A second reason why there is so much suffering is that, mankind has been imperfect and sinful ever since the rebellion in the garden of Eden. Sinful humans tend to struggle for dominance, and this results in wars, oppression, unjustice and suffering. (Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9)
A third reason for suffering is “time and unforeseen occurrence.” (Ecclesiastes 9:11) In a world without Jehovah as a protective Ruler, people may suffer because they happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It is my hope that you will find comfort to know that God does not cause suffering nor he is the one to blaime for what you had gone thru. He is not responsible for the way your family mistreat you, he is not responsable for your frustration nor he is responsable for the wars, the crimes, the oppression, or even the natural disasters that cause people to suffer. Still, you need to know, Why does Jehovah allow all this suffering? If he is the Almighty, he has the power to stop it. Why, then, does he hold back? The loving God that we have come to know must have a good reason.—1 John 4:8. (Let me know if you want the answer)
Again it is my hope that you find comfort reading this.

I'm like that right now.
I shake my fist at God rather than pray to God. I even took down everything that had that had Jesus or Christian stuff because I can't even stand the sight of God! I prayed to God to help my family get out of this hell...but what happens? My parents ask me for more money!
If my parents ask again...I'm closing my Savings Account!
