Have you ever fought with God? What issues were you fighting about?

“If a man divorces his wife
    and she leaves him and marries another man,
should he return to her again?
    Would not the land be completely defiled?
But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers
    would you now return to me?”
declares the Lord.
~Jeremiah 3:1

There's no doubt in my mind that I have fought with God.  One thing that I've possibly fought with God about is someone that might be the right one to be with in a relationship.  When I feel something about them, I've wanted to ask God, "If the situation is not meant to be, then please, take these feelings away so that I don't fall brokenhearted!"  Overtime, I've been persistent about this request, but really, I think God is really telling me "No," and "you must hold on to those thoughts and feelings."  This, in result, has shown me that I must trust in His guidance.

What would you most like to see changed about your world? Does Isaiah speak to that change?

“See, I will create
    new heavens and a new earth.
The former things will not be remembered,
    nor will they come to mind.
~Isaiah 65:17

I would say that Isaiah does speak of the changes I wish to see in this world.
