I'm not mad at God...
"In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly" (Job 1:22).
In this verse it's talking about the hard times Job went through. It was a long and dark tunnel. It seemed there was no hope. He lost much and could have been mad at God, but he didn't go into that swamp. He kept his faith, and the Lord brought him out to better things.
It is easy in hard times to become angry with God. We wonder why something bad happened, or why something good didn't happen. But there's no upside to this type of approach. How one responds to what happens matters more than what actually happens.
God is still good even if life and people aren't always good: "The Lord is good to all, His tender mercies are over all His works" (Psalm 145:9). It's best to let our view of God be formed by His Word and Spirit, not by our emotion and experience. It's best to judge life by God rather than judge God by life. Making this adjustment in one's faith is a key that will open doors of goodness and turn the condition around.
After all, God can easily fix with His omnipotence what He allows in His omniscience.
Every blessing,
