I’ve never done this…

[Matt5963]

Not new to the faith, and frankly disappointed in this post myself. I’ve had a particularly challenging situation in my career that has really discouraged me over the past few months. I can candidly say I’ve prayed on more than many occasions for my will, and not much for his will over this situation. I fully recognize that, although I must say I am finding myself to have a lot of disappointment right now in God. I realize I’m not right in my frustration, but that’s how I feel. It feels like God had me on the edge of success on so many occasions throughout this…only for me to be let down over and over again. I’m sure he has a reason for it, but this sure hurts. Not necessarily looking for dialogue or guidance on this, just felt I needed to put my feelings on paper, or this forum. Hmm….what a bummer. There is still a small opportunity things go my way. I know god is always good, and with me through it. That alone should make me feel better…but it just isn’t right now. Prayers for that.

May God’s peace that passes our understanding be upon you

Matt, prayed this prayer for you:

Psalm 90:16-17 NASB

"May your deeds be shown to your servants,
your splendor to their children.
May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us;
establish the work of our hands for us—
yes, establish the work of our hands."

Keep the faith, God bless!

Matt, I understand those feelings. I don't understand why we face so many disapointments, but please don't give up. Sometimes God shows us a different path. I'm in my late 70s. I know that I'd be worse off without God. Know that God and Christians love you. We are survivors and we will see the victory in the end --- perhaps not what we thought we wanted, but better if we endure with patience the the trials of this life.

for my will, and not much for his will

God knows a lot better than we do what is best for us. God does provide abundantly above and beyond all we could ever ask or think. He does not change so He is the one that is waiting on us. So He can accomplish His plan and purpose in our life. I just pray thy will be done as Jesus teaches us. We should look at the Lords prayer so we know how to pray.
