It's hard to have faith in God sometimes

I genuinely believe you are being a fool and living in mockery and arrogance with some wickedness too. Not only these things but also against The Lord himself. Your pride is going to be your downfall. I recommend humble yourself and bow down to God, acknowledge him and worship God. Confess all of your bad choices and mistakes and foolish ideals and renouce them then turn to The Lord for mercy and forgiveness. It is irrelevant whether you deserve or don't deserve your situation/circumstance, turn to God regardless.

This is where I struggle. Because the logical conundrum of an omnipotent, loving, forgiving God, creating me, putting me in situations knowing that they would bring me pain, doesn't sound like someone I want to worship. It sounds like someone who I wouldn't want in my life. How can someone who supposedly embodies love bring so much pain?

We as humans seek pleasure and try to avoid pain.

It's a difficult topic for me, because I don't want to reject God, but I find this blind acceptance of him an insult to our intelligence. Why is the God of the Hebrew Bible exempt from criticism, and yet all the others Gods that have existed throughout human history not?
