Psalms 88:6-8 You have thrown me into the lowest pit, into the darkest depths. Your anger weighs me down; with wave after wave you have engulfed me. Interlude You have driven my friends away by making me repulsive to them. I am in a trap with no way of escape.

18 You have taken away my companions and loved ones. Darkness is my closest friend.

Just like the writer of Psalms 88, some of us have blamed God for unfortunate events. We’ve blamed Him for letting our loved one die, our divorce, the loss of a job, or our child acting out.

Somehow, some don’t consider the devil and his mission to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Some believers don’t understand that not using our God-given authority is giving the devil and life’s problems an inroad into their lives (Gen. 1:26-28; Luke 10:19).

If we continue to blame God for everything, we minimize our communication with Him and we distance ourselves from Him. It’s hard to trust someone you blame.

Instead of blaming God, thinking He’s in control over everything, take accountability, and let’s look at ourselves. Let’s see what we need to do, or not do, to maintain this abundant peaceful life we have in Christ.
