If a person is mad at God or hurt they might want to hurt themselves. It can also be a cry for help or a way to outwardly show your pain. I think about cutting my arms with a knife a lot, lately anyways, but I never do. Just don't hurt yourself because God loves you. One time I was mad at God and I heard myself thinking "if you want to hurt God hurt yourself." There is spiritual warfare all across the world. Between countries, between groups of people, between friends, family, and between our inner beings good and evil side. Please don't hurt yourself. Find another way of dealing with those intense feelings. Sometimes it feels like nothing will help, but if you write about it in a diary or call someone you are taking healthy actions to deal with your inner demons. Prayer helps too. God has emotions too. He/She understands.Health Question & Answer
