Saddoxie,
I don't believe that a God is making you feel bad. More likely a frail 'ego' responsible for your misery. You've only been conditioned to believe that it's otherwise. Happens to the best of us.
Sorry you are feeling this way. Tough stuff to endure.
So what happened that has you feeling the way you do now?

saddoxie, after my husband died i read and said this prayer over n over.
Dear Lord,
Please help me in this time of loss and overwhelming grief. I don't understand why my life is filled with this pain and heartache. But I turn my eyes to you as I seek to find the strength to trust in your faithfulness. I will wait on you and not despair; I will quietly wait for your salvation. My heart is crushed, but I know that you will not abandon me forever. Please show me your compassion, Lord. Help me through the pain so that I will hope in you again. I believe this promise in your Word to send me fresh mercy each day. Though I can't see past today, I trust your great love will never fail me.
Amen

saddoxie,
I don't know if this will help you out at all of not - truly take from it what you will or won't....but for me - and I am only speaking about me, myself and I here and this is just my own personal experience here - so don't take it too much to heart.....
I finally got to a point where I just had to let go of any pre-conceived notions that I ever had of a GOD who was, seemingly, looking out for my own best interests and to which of whom was basically - just not really there anyway. Not really. In any shape. In any Way. In any Form.
Not really. Not ever.
Really.
And I had to finally just shrug my shoulders and think - maybe it was all just a very popular delusion the whole time.
Like Santa Clause.
Bitter pill to swallow, to be sure.
But you know what I discovered much to much surprise?
Once I finally 'let go' of this god notion stuff.....reward/punishment crap......all of a sudden it was as if an incredible weight was suddenly just lifted off right of my shoulders.
I really don't know about all this relgious stuff and such and such and what have you yada, yada, yada....what I do know FOR ME is that this mess just ain't for me.
Kept me down. Kept me stuck.
I consider myself to be a pretty non-judgemental person. Open to just about anything anyone has to say along these lines and figure I give them a whole bunch of leadway in which to express/prove their point.
I'm sorry. But this whole god thing just doesn't cut it for me.
For you maybe - and that's cool. If it works for you - then I say, all the more power to ya honey, really and truly.
But for me personally after weighing all the pros and cons all the way around.... - It just doesn't seem to fly for me anymore..........
