[QUOTE="Lawrence87, post: 1565890, member: 23052"] Another suggestion based upon your OP would be to make sure you include gratitude towards God in your morning and evening prayers. If I am honest, your OP sounds like you have a lot of rage against God. Maybe not expressed in precisely those terms, but it seems like you have a lot of complaints about things you feel are beyond your control (in other words things that are in God's hands). I'm not trying to be too critical here, because we all do this from time to time. I think it might benefit to remember all of the good things that God does for you. Thank Him each morning that He has granted a new day for you. Thank Him that He created you. Thank Him that He has provided you with this life as a chance for salvation. Thank Him for sending His only begotten Son to suffer and die in order to conquer death for us, and for the life and freedom that he is offering you. Remember that loving one's neighbour is an extension of our love for God. So even if your rage is directed at your parents or whatnot you still ultimately rage against God. Seize control of the things that you can control, and come to peace with God, I think step one on that path is to let go of our rage against God and embrace gratitude. He has the power to take everything from you in an instant, so take inventory of all the things you do have, and thank Him with all your heart. [/QUOTE]
