When Will God Be On My Side?

As I cry, I wonder
When will God be on my side?
Every day I get beaten down
Knocked down
And I try to stand up again.
But someone always pushes me down.
I ask God for an answer
For help
But he never gives
I see everyone else's life go so perfectly
While mine remains in shambles
I cry in agony
I so desperately want an out
I painstakingly want things to go my way for once
I pray to God
I look to God
But he is not on my side.
I am cursed
Thats the only answer I can find
To explain this torment
but I still want to know
When will God be on my side?

its a lot more complex than just positive/negative thinking. as for God, he hasn't been there for me lately...i guess my problem is his way of saying no, he is not going to be there for me this time.

God is always there. It is often our own way of thinking that blocks us from sensing it. And He is going through the same agony you are, perhaps more so. That's a parent's heart. Perhaps a change of thinking from negative to positive could be the key to see a new horizon. Thanks for sharing so honestly. We have felt that way at some point in our life. Best wishes, Caroline.

Learn some scriptures that say you are special. Like John 3:16 and insert your name in there where it says world. You are special to God and you have to say it believe it. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara

i know how you feel. and you ask the right questions and of the right person. you can ask him anything. but are you prepaired for his answer? can you live? try to avoid problem areas. can you fight? when it is wise fight back. but use discresion defend yourself. keep your mouth shut, dont attract any attention to your self. and read Psalms 91, john h loving iii
