Confusion
The majority of Christians, probably do not know God like Moses, Elijah, Paul, or Job. However, if one were to do his or her biblical research, he or she would notice that each of these men, at a certain point in their lives wanted to face death, rather than life. Their lives became so difficult until they actually asked God to take their lives. I would argue that, until Christians have gotten to this point in their walk with the Lord, they really have not reached the apex of their Christian journey. Think about it for a moment. If you are a Christian, do you think that you are closer to God than Moses, Elijah, Job, or Paul? At a certain time in your life, quoting biblical scriptures, will not solve your problems, listening to this minister and that minister, will not solve your problems, running from this Christian conference to that Christian conference, will not solve your problems, Watching this Christian DVD and listening to that Christian CD, will not solve your problems, and confusion and perplexity will overtake your life, and you will not be able to understand what God is doing. Yes, I know that I Corinthians, 14:33, states that God is not the author of confusion, but a God of peace and order. In this particular scripture, however, the Holy Spirit is referring to the church, and not your personal life. God can cause things to happen in one’s life, that will make his or her head do flip-flops, and He will have your problem setup in such a way whereby, others will not understand what you are going through. Even though they say they do, deep down in your heart you know they really don’t. You will try to explain your problem to them, but it won’t make sense neither to them nor to you. When something like this happens to you, or you are currently going through some major difficulty, you may be experiencing a Moses, Elijah, Paul, or Job moment. A moment which cannot be explained neither through poetry nor pose. A moment in which you feel like King David, when he said in Psalms, “ if I had wings like a dove, I would fly away.” It’s the moment when the most popular Christian answers, will not satisfy your soul. It is a moment of anguish and emotional pain, and you feel helpless, while you are waiting for Jesus to give you a breakthrough. For those Christians who have not experienced, a Moses, Job, Elijah, or Paul moment, just keep walking with the Lord, because your day is coming. For those Christians who have had one of these moments, you know exactly know what I am talking about. You may think that you are strong, until all of a sudden, out of nowhere, something drastic happens in your life which causes you a great deal of pain and sorrow. Then, you will understand what I mean by such a moment.

Cuz, it seems like you are experiencing lots of pain. You are yourself in the position you speak of.
We are praying for you because God is truly the beginning and the end. Be strong in the Lord.
Stay in touch.
This is Greatichel and just want to say God is real, exist also and truly only God can reveal God.
For I have encountered God in a way unknown to man. How one knows is because God truly has a voice that speaks as you and I do, meaning real words to be heard comes from the very voice of God. You have had many unanswered questions, truly God is the only one that shall answer the very cry and depth of one’s heart. Be still and know that God is God. Amen.
Donna, what gets me the most is that many Christians think that the stuff in the bible is for the past. Christians really don’t believe that the Word of God applies to our current times. If a person has not experienced a Moses, Job, or Samson moment, he or she probably has not experienced a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. What is this moment? It is a moment in which the born again Christian is going through something to such a point, that he or she prefers death over life. It is a point whereby a Christian situation in life is just about to drive him or her insane, and the most biblical answers cannot ease the pain, and this is no joke.

Space matter and time is what God created, and things can happen in one’s life which cannot be expressed verbally, and neither through poetry nor pose. Living for Jesus is no joke.
I have been through many things in life, but this incident was a whopper.
