Problems are very common to everyone. As what they say, you are considered as abnormal if you do not have problem.There are many people that I have met a lot of that they blame God when they were not able to solve their problem. I think this thing is not right. It can be consider as a sin. Problems will not incur if we did not do something.In my situation, if I have a problem, I never came to a point that I blame God because I was not able to solve my problem. I believe that we are the one who is making our destiny, so we know what is better and which is not better for us. What about you? Did you ever came to a point that you blame God because of unsolved problem?What is your opinion on this? Share your ideas and feeling.

Okay, I have a very different way of looking at this. I think the God is everywhere. We see him, feel him and breath in his presense everyday; HOWEVER, we get so wrapped up in problems or petty disputes that we can't SEE him.
I think the answers are always there but the requests aren't in his plan. We need to bring it down to the basics as to what is really important. Ask yourself, what would Jesus do and then seriously think about the answer to that.
I think when it comes to our relationship with God, whomever your God is, you have to be thankful first for the blessings you have. I don't see anything good coming out of demanding or praying for something all the time if you can't be thankful first.
Does that make sense? I hope so, because I'm a lot more peaceful with myself when I can thank a person over asking them for something all the time.

Problems Are Man Made Sometimes .. These Can Be Avoided .. Some Have to happen .. You cannot avoid these .. Life is A Journey of Ups And Downs .. You Win some .. Of course You Loose Some .. Dont take anything Seriously .. You will Thank God For Happiness .. God Bless All ..

no i would not blame God. i have in the past and i am sorry for it but it is not his fault. i tend to not look to really blame anyone when things go wrong unless it is obvious that someone caused something to happen. i try to move on without blame in most cases.

The shortest answer is NO. We need not and for that matter should not blame God for our problems. Sometimes we know we have created the problem.Then it is pretty clear, we should solve it too. But often problems do occur even if we had taken that extra care to avoid them. That is when, if you believe in God you feel it shouldn't have been there.IOW, God should have helped you with not causing the problem! Here, I am talking of a problem caused by unforeseen causes. Like, suppose you had planned your trip to some place on the seaside when there had been no indication whatsoever of any mishap happening. And then there was this tsunami at the beach where you were stretching to relieve yourself. That is when you would feel, "Why did God allow this problem to happen at all?" Let's say you escaped unhurt. Then God has reminded you the essence of Kabir's couplet:(translated)
[B] He whom the Lord wills to protect , Not a soul in the world one can kill.
Not a hair on him shall any dissect , Even if he were pushed downhill. [/B]
Now, let it be said that a person goes to the beach with his family, the Tsunami takes all but this one man. He will ask of the Lord, "Why have you done this to me?" He would feel he must have taken along too. But He is left to suffer privation. If he now keeps his faith in the benevolence of the Lord he will see that He would fill him full.
Thus problems draw us closer to God. One has to be discerning. If instead he blames God, what would God do? He will just smile and let him pass.

Problems are ways to strengthen a person help him to become better and mature person. A person should never blame God whenever they cannot overcome problems and obstacles in life because God will never allow a problem to hound the person if He knew that person cannot handle it properly.
We should remember that God is always there for us no matter what is the situation, good or bad. We all just need to remember the story of the "Footprints on the sand" where a man asked God why is there only a pair of footprints on the sand during the times where he encountered many problems in life. God told the my, "I carried you on my shoulders that is why there is only one pair of footprints."
So, for me, problems help me become a stronger and better person.

yes that's true.others are blaming GOD when they feel that their sufferings don't seem to end. when we are to analyze everything, it's stil our fault why some problems remain unsolved. maybe one's best is still that enough to answer all the problems. I don't think that GOD has something to do with that. HE give us the free will to decide on everything. in this sense, we should not blame GOD.

I don't think I have a reason to blame God for whatever problems which are not solved. For every problem given to us, I believe there is always a solution for it. It's only a matter of accepting the problem first and then learning how to solve it.

of course not. we dont have the right to do so, or blaming HIM for having so much problems were facing in our entire life. instead thanked HIM for the strength that HE gaves to us that we are able to solve that particular problem. problems are just part of our existence. so just deal with it and dont stop asking for guidance from HIM for you to be able to fight those trials you are facing.

I've never done so.In fact I don't believe there is a God. I do everything by myself.

You are right when you said that we are the one that chooses our destination and decisions in life. In any problems that we are facing, be it big or small, we don't have any rights to blame God for it.
All people have problems and it is just normal that we should face that problem and not to pinpoint any fingers on whose to blame specially the one that created us. No matter how people might not understand the reason why things are happening, it is still not God's fault.
We are tested by the problems or trials we have. It makes us strong and both dependent on God to help us, not to blame Him for that test. This is what I can share and I respect others opinion too if they have it differently. Happy Mylotting.

When I was younger, I usually find myself blaming god for all the bad things that happens to me. But as I grew older, I finally accept that everything whether it is positive or negative, all has its purpose. So right now, when problem arises, I always keep my faith by offering god the problems that I have. I am surrendering all obstacles and ask god for more guidance that I will be able to accept and cope whatever in store for me.

i never blame God for whatever problems that i may encounter but i cant help but just spoke of it and God always comes with the words out in my mouth. but i always ask forgiveness. its like i am out of my mind talking like that. maybe because of the mixed feelings i am having and God always just suddenly be spoken of. i know that is not good so i pray and always asks forgiveness from Him.

No, I didn't blame God but sometimes I asked him why those things happened. I know that God is so good. He only wants the best for us. Actually bad things happen because it's consequences of our decisions and choices. I believe if we let God to do it and decide for us. Everything will be perfect but of course sometimes we don't know or it's hard to know what he wants for us so we insist what we personally want. Happy mylotting!

Yes, I have blamed god for my problems. I think everyone has at some point in time. I did however learn that the only one to blame for your problems is yourself. Not God. You are right about making your own destiny, but some look to God for guidance. There is nothing wrong with looking for a higher power for guidance, but sometimes we just need to look within ourselves for the answer. The mind is a powerful thing that can be used for all answers! Look within yourself to solve your problems! If you do that, you will always find truth! You may not like what you find, but it is truth! For the sin part, I am not sure on that.

Sometimes God breaks our spirit to save our soul
Sometimes He breaks our heart to make us whole
Sometimes God sends us pain so that we can be stronger
Sometimes He sends us failure so that we can be humble
Sometimes God Sends us illness so that we take better care of ourselves
Sometimes He takes everything so we will value what we have
So no matter what god has given and taken from us
its only for our best
DONT BLAME GOD

i don't blame god,i found that everyone could meet some problem,this spend our time to deal with it,maybe we could not easy to deal with it,but i think that we make attempt to do something several times and finally solve our problem.you should know that fate is grasped by yourself,nobody can help me,the problem is temporal,i believe what i adhere to do it and finally can solve it.
