Will God's Mercy Dawn On The Eleventh Hour?

The belief or faith in God is truly centered on the firm faith that God will not forsake you in the eleventh hour. When trials and tribulations gather in abundance most of us seek the ultimate refuge in the hands of the merciful God.God is the one in whom we put quite a lot of faith and trust.We pray ardently on the hope that He will extend kindly help when we need the same.However isn't the reality that troubles and problems galore make one feel doubtful about the real presence of God at a time when his intervention is greatly needed?

Hi sukumar794! I do admit that sometimes, I find it hard to understand why it has to be like that. My patience is really tested and so is my faith. I do believe however, that God's Help and Mercy always arrives just at the right time. I do believe that in His Time, everything will fall in the right places. I know that as a human, it is really hard to wait and be patient but I guess, having faith and hope in Him surely makes a lot of difference in waiting silently and patiently in waiting for His Intervention. Take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

Really depends on how true we are as persons. I don’t think God will come to the rescue of a murderer in the eleventh hour, when he is about to be hanged! Also remember the old adage ‘God helps those who help themselves’ so there is really no point in sitting idle waiting for God’s intervention to deliver us from troubles. Being made the supreme in the animal kingdom, God has already given us a huge advantage, now the rest is upon us. If we tread the path of truth and humanity, God will not forsake us in good times or bad

I believe Gods mercy will endure to the eleventh hour, i sure do..God has never failed me yet..Now he has not always come through in everything , and later i found out that the BIG problem was just me wanting God to do something that was not really needed..So if its just something we want, maybe we feel he has failed us, but when things were desperate & needed he has always been there for me..I trust he will be there in my REAL time of need.He is never early, and he is never later, God is always right on time....God sometimes works "in the moment".....God said he would supply our needs, but he said nothing about our little wants...

When we do talking about God; it is concluded in precise and concise; having said, the God State and the criteria of it perfectly described as unimaginable, incomparable and ultimate. Whatever in the form of reality as "say it~ be it~got it" is the "Proof of God State". That is the theory about God's existence.

When I was young I thought God was very callous because He didn't wave a finger and solve all the troubles I was going through--which were my own fault from lack of judgment, lack of experience and just plain stupidity. Now that I'm older I can see how those problems let me grow and mature and I'm glad they happened. I've learned that God gives us the strength to conquer anything if we seek His encouragement and listen to His words of wisdom. He won't take our burdens away but He will give us courage and strength to survive them and be better people because of them.

The god you seek may be yourself. This quote was written by Anton Szandor La vey, author of the Satanic Bible(Yeah I know, I'm no satanist but I do enjoy his writings) I think he was write on the money that you have to rely on yourself to get out of trouble. No god will come to safe you, you have to save yourself. Praying is a waste of time IMHO, it just takes away time you could have spent dealing with whatever problem it is you have to face. So to answer your question personaly I have always doubted his existence, so I doubt it too in that type of situation.
