Im just a normal teenager, not a holy man, not a philosoper, I often read books and I treasure every lessons that I learned from the book. Why God allows problems to come to us? In my opinion, He allows them because thats the time when we call for His help, He always wanted to help us, in everyway, in every thing! Picture your life being happy and happy and forever happy! Isnt boring? How could you distiguish sad moments if your only capable of understanding one emotion? That is being HAPPY (alone!). And with regards to God, let me ask you this. Do you often talk to Him when your Enjoying life? and Blessings come always and theres no room for you to keep it? I dont think soo, Yes we thank Him but One of those days, you eventually forget about Him because your hooked into physical things. That is why God allows problem to come, because thats the way He can reach us, and the same as we His PEOPLE reaching Him. I dont think I've offended anybody, please respond to this. Am i right? Is my understanding with regards to God correct?

Well I think that he sends us problems because he is trying to teach is what to do with them, and so it actually helps is when He sends us problems.

YEZ.....you are halfway correct with that!....... we all know that problems occurs on our lives because it's totally part of it......to live it....love it....and share it's laughter and tears to our dear "GOD" ...... He alone knows it.....and we people just trying to ignore for we believe ourself enough to forget that 'GOD" is with us ALways ...all the time, anytime of our life... maybe sometime we off course as human tend to be taken down by evil thoughts for we are naturally weak..inside especially spiritually....right!?!?... no One is perfect and it can't be denied nor argued by nobody but GOD alone is the answer....?? +chilll+ @jam@ ~live life~ keep it cool -.-

You are a remarkably insightful and thoughtful teenager, first and foremost. I agree with your ways of perceiving God not that your spirituality should ever be judged "correct" by another. I believe that all of us are on a sacred journey of sorts. What happens in our life spans are a mixture of destiny, opportunity, and the choices we make. Yes, we do need to remember our spirituality in times of good, as well. The more adverse times are meant to define us, that is my firm belief.

He allows problem because he wants us to be humble and learn from our mistakes and problems. He wants us to be strong. To reach for him. That's what problem is all about.
