Have you ever questioned God?

my mistake but sometimes something go wrong then i think god has more better option for me. cheers!!

The Bible is full of admonitions to ask - seek and knock, on God's door {as a natural term.} God expects us to ask Him for help and answers. It says in the New Testament book of James: "if any among you 'lacks wisdom' let him/her ask of God and He will give it LIBERALL, and the word afterwards is an old english term I think. But it says he will not "upbraid" us, which I believe means that He'll not be upset with us for asking. God is not just our God and Saviour, but our friend, counselor and deliverer. He brings comfort and answers when we're not even aware of His doing it. I know this, for I am going through the grieving process of losing my precious husband of over 50 yrs., and I couldn't have made it this far without His love, and have felt His closeness here in my home as never before! One last thing - there's another scripture that I just know He had put in the Bible "just for me" LOL - - it says in 2nd Timothy 2:13 - 'even though we believe NOT, yet HE abides (remains) faithful.' That means that He understands our frailities and questions. He's a big God and has a marvelous understanding of our finite minds and questions, so ask away - He's always listening. Try reading the Psalms in the Old Testament. There, you will find many things that David went through, just like you, and how he approached God, and the Bible says that David "was a man after God's own heart." David was a man who repented often, prayed often, worshipped often, and questioned often. Hope I've helped in some small way. C. C.

OOOOOPS - I forgot to add the "Y" to the word LIBERALLY - SORRY. tRYING TO TYPE TOO FAST.

..right.. Many times that I've questioned God why I have to be tested like this or like that.. but after that, I kneel and pray..

..I wouldn't blame Nirishasol.. there are times when I feel giving up that I start to question God of so may WHY's.. then later on, after surviving the test, I look up to God and ask forgiveness from and and also thank Him for not letting me down even if I questioned Him.. Still, I'm trying my best not to question God for anything that happens. I still believe that God has His own reasons of allowing things to happen that way..

..yeah.. the sad reality is, we don't question God when we are given blessings. We don't say why me, we only question Him when we are already down.

Hi getbiswa I am happy atleast after a long time you are in the right path and started believing in God, but I can say one thing nothing is in your hands all this happened only his will, he is one who made you believe him. Now you are believing in him you will definitely prosper in your life and all the good things will happen to you in future. Have a nice day.

True indeed. Nothing is in my hand. Everything is controlled from some headquarter located somewhere else. I also believe that he also made me believe him, but when I question him, I ask "Why am I so late?". I dare not say that I am grateful for what he has done. We are his children, so it is quite expected that he will take care of us. Its just an expression of love and a resentment of finding myself in the right path after such a delay. You can call me Biswa. That's my name. God bless you

..well said.. but sometimes, I can't help it just what sbryan said that when my life seems to fall apart, instead of becoming stronger, I become weak and ask God why? just like the others, it is indeed important to be calm and just trust in God because in times when we already feel like giving up, God has already prepared a way for us.. This, sometimes is not easily recognized because we are overcomed by our anxieties.. This is why sometimes, I would prefer somebody to remind me how God loves me..

Hi Sbryan You are right God does not answer when you ask him for answer but one can definitely find some good result if they really believe in God. God almighty always forgives his children, I would only suggest you to believe in God always even in your hard ships and God will definitely take care of you.

Hi cher You are absolutely right God definitely help you if you have faith in God. I experienced this many times he helped me in all my difficulties, that is the reason I always believe in God.

..right.. but somehow, we don't realize the good things He did for us.. we only focus on our misfortunes.. we don't even thank God for renewing our health and giving us another day to live.. With your situation right now, I know its hard, but when I was in your sitaution (maybe not exactly), I force myself to attend church and listen to God words.. this way, the pain that I felt and the feeling of rebellion inside me is melted slowly.. after this, I try to renew my faith and continue hoping again that someday God will hear my prayers.. There are times when I seem not to know what and how to pray so I just lift everything to God.. and during the time when I least expected the answer, that was also the time when God answered me.. Move on and continue pushing.. Its not yet the end of the rope my friend.. and if you thought you've already reach the end of the rope, then tie you hands and hold on to the rope..

Hi atebuds There is nothing wrong in questioning God because when ever we have problems he is the one with whom we share our problems and who solve all of them as he is our father he always excuse us. I feel if you are not harming others or not doing any sin then need not get frightened of God because he understands our problems and forgive and take care of us. Have a nice day.

we don't abandon our faith only frustrated with all the test that god is giving to us and we are guilty afterwards but it's natural but that's why we had to have strong faith and trust in the lord.

..right.. I hope we all stay faithful til the end..
