I cried out to God last night

Last night I was at the end of my rope so I cried out to God, or should I say I screamed at Him in abject anger and told Him I need help, so now I will find out if He comes through or not. Usually I just scream at God and call Him names, but this time I asked for help, so the ball is now in God’s court. God can help me because He is All-Powerful, or He can just leave me standing at the side of the road. :(

Mind you, the All-Knowing God already knows what I need help with, so I did not need to put in a prayer request. God already knows I have tried to solve these problems by myself to no avail, so it is not as if I am just sitting around doing nothing. I have struggled with these issues for what seems like forever but I have come to a dead end and I know not what to do. This is when God is supposed to step in and help me if He is worth His salt.

A gift for a gift, you have to do for the Gods, for them to do for you.

This is sometimes true, but I think the most profound gift I got from a God was one I didn't know well, and whom I had just been somewhat rude to...

I've heard it said that God wants all of us, heart and soul, and sometimes that includes anger as well.

I'm sorry you're struggling, and I hope you get the help you need, in whatever form you need it.

Here's the thing. God always solves the problem, primarily because it's a problem only to us. After the fact I can see dozens, maybe hundreds of God solved situations in my life. I definitely didn't see it that way at the time, but now, looking back, wow. I suppose that's one of my proofs.
Try to be calm. I know. If someone said that to me during one of my episodes, I'da belted 'em. Unfortunately, It's all I got.

The same thing has happened to me, after the fact I can look back and see it, and see how I got help.
But when we are in it we cannot see a solution to it or any hope that it will ever get resolved. :(

So, what is the problem?

Perhaps God can work through one of our advice?

I do believe that God works through people and I am not sure He ever works on His own.

Or, perhaps you could take the atheistic approach and evaluate your problems yourself and find solutions for yourself.

You could seek out the advice of other people. However, be sure to understand their biases and objectives.
