My relationship with god has strayed so much it's upsetting
The story
I have been born and raised in a pretty religious family, and I always had a good relationship with god but for the past few years ( since 2023 ) it has been so rough.
At first it was okay, I was upset but I still believed that god would help me or guide me but as days passed by I saw that my family and I just constantly went under extreme horrible bad luck and bad luck. People tend to say whatever god does, does it for the betterment for you but what is this? How can we believe that god will save us when it feels like he doesn’t even listen. It’s upsetting to see honest people suffer while selfish people thrive and people say that we shouldn’t say anything as god will punish them after death.
There is this pretty important thing coming up for my religion but honestly I’m not even excited, for the first time in my entire life I’m having second thoughts about whether or not I should perform it.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe god exists and I do want to fix my relationship with my religion but sometimes just sometimes, I just tend to think that it is all so pointless.
( sorry for the confusing rant lol, I just wanted to vent )

Points of view
I totally hear you; it's really tough when you're feeling constant setbacks. Sometimes, life's trials just pile up and you start questioning everything' faith, destiny, purpose. You're definitely not alone in thinking this way; many people struggle with these thoughts. It's hard to watch unfairness and wonder about divine justice. Keeping faith can feel like walking on thin ice, especially during religious events that used to be joyful but now seem empty; don't stress too hard about it. It's okay to have doubts, and sometimes it helps to just take a step back and assess what truly matters.
Being honest with yourself is a strong step forward.
Life's curveballs can be brutal, and it's definitely frustrating when you see good folks going through hell while the selfish ones chill without a care. So yeah, totally get where you're coming from.
Sometimes it just makes you throw your hands up like, what the heck is going on here? It reminds me of a time when I was doing everything by the book, and nothing was working out. Just makes you question everything, right? Life's not always fair, and that's a hard pill to swallow. But you know, hang in there. Sometimes you just gotta ride the storm. 🌧️
