We cannot hide anything from God. Therefore, things that we wish to hide we should just be upfront with God about. Sometimes when things don't go our way we have negative and bitter feelings toward the cause. We shouldn't tuck those bad feelings away. Give them to God. The only way to get past anything is to give it to God. Giving those feelings to God helps you to feel free once again. You didn't realize it, but those feelings way you down and pull you away from the Light. Train yourself to not feel those negative feelings. Train yourself to immediately give them to God and let Him take over leading you forward on the path of life.
"The best response to losses or thwarted hops is praise: The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Remember that all good things --- your possessions, your family and friends, your health and abilities, your time --- are gifts from Me. Instead of feeling entitled to all these blessings, respond to them with gratitude. Be prepared to let go of anything I take from you, but never let go of My hand! (Young 308)."
Investigate my life, O God,
find out everything about me;
Cross-examine and test me,
get a clear picture of what I’m about;
See for yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong—
then guide me on the road to eternal life.
1 Peter 5:6-7 (MSG)
So be content with who you are, and don’t put on airs. God’s strong hand is on you; he’ll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before God; he is most careful with you.
