with all the trials in our lives, the loved ones we prayed so hard for not to lose, the trials we prayed so hard to be resolved so much faster, the jobs we might lose, the boyfriend, the father whom might chose another for us... and the harder you pray... the more you feel you are being left in the dark... With all these, and so much more trials and hardships we have yet to face... Honestly... have you ever doubted God and his capacity to eliminate all the bad things in life?

Honestly there were times in my life that I did. Not that I believe in it, but because I got no one left to blame. Probably I was looking for someone to displace the anger to. I doubted that maybe because I was created not special then that's the reason why God has neglected me and deprived me of the things I wish I have. I am not materialistic I wish I was created a little bit normal and things wouldnt be so wrong. I asked him why I was born shy, I was born not so pretty, I was born with generalized sweating disorder, why I was born hot tempered, why I blush so easily, why I was born not an English speaking native, why I was born with dry skin, and why I was born a paranoid. If I was just normal like others then maybe I dont have to be so shy to speak or talk in front of many people because I am afraid I might sweat a lot and then they cant concentrate because they'd be bothered by the human melting candle in front of them. If I am not like that then I would have been able to concentrate on impressing other people when I am reporting or acting or performing than concentrate on praying I wish I wont sweat that much because Itd be so embarassing.. There's a lot more I can't enumerate them all. But I only believe in one thing, that there could be something else in store for me. Maybe I am really special and I havent found out about it yet. But I always believe in GOD I know there is a reason, he is the designer of all things and I know there is a reason why I was born this way.

As a human being I am also exposed to a lot of trials in life. I have lost my job recently, about two weeks back. I used to earn enough to pay for all my bills and have some extra cash to keep aside. But now, I am worried because I have several waiting bills that need to be settled and I don't have money. I felt very miserable and frustrated. Sometimes I was angry too. However, even though now I still haven't gotten a new job yet, I don't want to think a lot about my hardships. I feel tired and I feel there is no use for me to think about negative things. Even though I can't pay my bills, I don't care because I know this condition is only temporary. Always think that whatever hardship that is happening, they are all temporary and will leave you eventually. So, whether you believe in God or not, you still have hopes in the future. Life is not always gloomy. Have faith in that, and I wish you all the best in everything. If not now, you will get something rewarding in the future, but make sure you don't give up and keep working for it.

Not any more.I might have doubted when I was reckless and not responsible as a young man.But I just cannot afford to mistrust God as He is the only hope for me.

I have in the past doubted God. I think it's part of growing in His grace, but never once have I doubted His "capacity to eliminate all the bad things in life." He can do it, I have no doubt, but He doesn't and never promised to. We live in a fallen world, not Heaven, and as long as we're here in this fallen world, we will have troubles. Jesus said it this way: In this world you shall have problems, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world. He didn't say he had removed all bad things from it or that we could live without ever contacting them. That's not what it's all about. What it is all about is trusting God through everything that comes our way. He will bring us through, stronger, humbler, wiser and more trusting. That's what it's all about.

i never doubted god but i always question him in whatever things that happened to me, i know theres a reason why it happened but i wonder why i suffered a lot, i would say that what i experience right now is the worst and the most troublesome in my life, i feel so down and that i totally crashed to the ground leaving with nothing, i hate to think of it as i never wish to have a life like what i have right now, though what ever his plan i just wish its for my own good and i wish every thing will going to be fine someday, i know god will never leave me as a matter of fact he provided me things that i need right now but its just so sad why i need to face like this. i still love and believe and god no matter what.

I am just a human being and at my weakest moment, I would ask God's existence. I know I have no right but at my worst time, I would ask why He would leave me alone when I need Him the most. Of course, I would apologize afterwards because it was not God who had done those bad things to me. It was only the result of all the wrong decisions I had made in the past. Until now, I still continue to hold on and knowing that help will be given to me by God in the right time.

I will never blame God because He doesn't deserve it. What He deserves praise, gratitude, and worship. Jeremiah 9:23-24 [23] Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: [24] But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD. I have a blog to share with you: http://esoriano.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/its-not-gods-fault-blame-the-hypocrites/ You will find out who are to blame and that it's foolish to doubt God.

I never doubted god. I am at his mercy even today and at this moment. I have prayed a lot and god has done miracles in my life. I know that god exists and he is taking care of me every second. I believe that he understands me. The only situation in my life when I thought god doesn't listen our prayers is that when my friend had gone through a difficult situation. My friend is a very nice girl. She prays a lot and she offers money and things to poor people. He gives money to an orphanage regularly. But, her marriage was a failure. She ended up marrying a bad guy. Now, she is trying to come out of the marriage. Her situation made me lose my interst in praying, but god has later shown his mercy to her by getting her a very good job.
