Rage - Raging against the Lord only brings us more difficulties

Rage

 

Lord, I was raging against you,

but for a long time

I did not want to admit it.

 

I was angry at you

for what has happened to me,

but I was hiding my anger

behind all kinds of masks.

 

Now I have many problems:

My psyche has taken me

on a rollercoaster ride,

my health is going crazy,

all of my reactions are off,

and I no longer find any rest

when I sleep.

 

All because I did not want

to look at the root causes

and was raging against you.

 

I could not recognize

that you wanted to guide me

through all difficult times,

and in the midst of the storm

I did not hold onto your hand

but instead was distracted

by the tossing waves. 

 

I was completely consumed

by the negativeness of my surroundings,

and was upset and angry for I have neglected to look up to you.

 

Oh Lord help me

to never forget you and your kindness

in the midst of the storm.

 

Help me to believe in your nature even when my life is upside down.


Help me to remain faithful to you

when I have to go through difficulties

and injustice.

 

Help me to cling to you

especially in difficult times

and to look to you

instead of indulging in rage

against you.

 

I had lost my perspective

and had made my own life more difficult than it already was.

While I was raging against you

I had caused myself

many more difficulties.

Proverbs 19,3 (The Israel Bible)

A man's folly subverts his way, And his heart rages against Hashem.

The second problem - PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder)

The second problem I have a problem, or so I thought for a long time. Something bothered me immensely. Whether it was: suffering, illness,  injustice, bullying, abuse, loss, or anything else that threw me off track, what's certain is that the pain of it was etched into my mind. I got incredibly upset about it, simmered with anger and resentment, shrouded myself in self-pity and depression, occupied myself with all sorts of distractions, and did all sorts of things to try and get rid of the pain. Soon I realized that the thought about my problem had become lodged inside me, like a bird that has built a nest  in my tree. I'm starting to brood over the negative feelings. Day and night, they give me no peace. I'm getting so worked up about this terrible situation that I'm constantly preoccupied with all sorts of possible and even impossible scenarios. Soon, I'm experiencing increasing difficulty concentrating. Coping with everyday tasks becomes more and m...

Information about the posts in March 2026

All posts posted in March 2026 have a specific order to them. I have placed them in 3 different categories: 1. The Problems 2. The Considerations 3. The Solutions Posts, that will be posted after March 2026 do not have this order, but will be posted randomly only sorted by the time they were posted. It is my hope, that the reader realizes, that he/she is not the only one struggling with a certain problem. I have spent much effort going into the depth of each problem with the hope that the reader can identify with it. Over time I have come to realize that the way we react to problems in principle is timeless. We all get stuck with the same or similar reactions. At the beginning those reactions are rather unproductive or even destructive.  It is my goal to not only honestly write about different problems, but also give the reader, who is seeking solutions good thoughts to consider. I do wish for each reader to read the lyrics with an open mind and contemplate what is wr...

When the soul cries out - Emotional pain

When the soul cries out   When the soul cries out then the head is full with pain. When the soul cries out then it is obvious that you cannot concentrate. When the soul cries out then the everyday routines become difficult. When the soul cries out then any contacts with the outside world become more and more difficult. When the soul cries out then you become more impatient with yourself and others. When the soul cries out then you need a lot of love and comfort  in order to heal again.     (1606121555-1912,1706120737-0747)     Psalm 147:3 (The Israel Bible) He heals their broken hearts, and binds up their wounds.
