What is your question?
Why did God break my spirit at an early age and kept it broken into older age.This life has been one big waste of time. And I never asked for it. Maybe Godshould repent of his sins?

ANSWER:
Thanks for your comment. I am sorry to hear about how life has seemto be a disappointment to you! However, let me know God is a life-giving God.He cares for you! The "thief (devil) comes only to steal and kill anddestroy" but Jesus says that "I came that they may have life, andhave it abundantly (John 10:10)!" The devil has lied to you about God'slove for you Frank! The devil was the first to speak doubt about God's lovewith Adam and Eve and that has brought confusion to humanity ever since tillJesus Christ (Genesis 3). He is the one that has been lying to you all thistime! In fact, Jesus calls him the "the father of lies" (John 8:44).On the contrast, Jesus says our "heavenly Father is perfect"(John8:48)! The book of Hebrews says that " it is impossible for God to lie"(Heb 6:18)! God himself says that "I know the plans that I have foryou,plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and ahope" (Jer 29:11)!

God wants you to be with Him for eternity andthis plan begins with your salvation! Jesus is the one and only way toexperience all access to God's love and presence! Jesus says "I am theway, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but throughme" (John 14:6)! Recognize that Jesus Christ died at Calvary for a lifetimeof sin that you have and will commit that would prevent you from beingacceptable to being in the presence of a Holy God (Rom 3:25). Your solution is confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in yourheart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Rom 10:9-10).Christ came to make you a child of God and make you acceptable unto God!

There is hope for tomorrow! God can heal you of your hurts and save yoursoul from eternal destruction! Trust God to heal you because He desires it (Ps147:3 and 3 John 2)! Take these next steps to a new beginning today! Weare available to help you here at Saddleback as you begin this new journey intrusting God!

Jay, I read your question, and understand your pain and feelings of anger towards God.If if ask God to remove your pain and fill you will his love, peace and joy, He will do just that. The Lord Jesus Christ gave his life and took on the sins of the world, our sins, so that we could have access to God, for this very reason. This is what God did for us to free us, so that we have access to his Love. It is easy to know this love and peace and to live the life Christ wants for all his children. Just ask and you will receive. If you ask Jesus to help you he will. We have all sinned and fallen short, because our world is sinful, it is ruled by satin, but we can be set free. We can receive the power of Jesus Christ, all we have to do is seek, pray and ask and he will set you free. Ask God to help you in your pain or suffering or whatever is bothering you. He is merciful and kind and he will show you a new way to live. That is far better than what you are experiencing now. I know this because he changed me and my life in this way. I was sad and miserable and now I am happier and more satisfied and content than I ever was before. I pray that you seek him and be filled with is abundant love. God Bless you

Jay:I have added you to my pray list and am asking you to do the same for me. I often feel that God is testing me too much. I speak from my heart to God and hold nothing back. I want to please him if he would just let me know what he wants. I feel the hurt you share and know that God with faith will move us past this time. Take Care And Keep Talking To God,Diana
