I am many times astonished by the question, "Is God for real?" If he is real, how come I don't get answer to my questions? If I will ask you, you will definitely answer, "Of course, He is real! But then there comes within us an ambivalent attitude which is well pronounced in the reality of our situation, "If He's real, why is there so much suffering in this world? Can't He not at the stroke of His hand take all these out? What do you think?

Hmm. It seems you are completely not aware of what life means and how God is connected to it. Yes, all of us suffer in this world yet we can still overcome all of those. You do not have to ask others questions if God is real or not. It depends on your judgement. The question you are asking do not have any sense because people have different perception in life.
God, Himself, is the One who brings us our own sufferings and problems. It depends on how we recognize Him and believe in Him. If you question His being real or not, you might encounter more problems. He just wanted us to learn how to have faith in Him. He will send much trials in our life until we believe in Him, lay ourselves in His hands, and TRUST Him. Honestly, I am enjoying my life nowadays since I started to trust Him. I can feel that He is answering my prayers. He will never let us down unless we let Him down.
Well, this is my perception in life. It is up to you on how you will judge it.

Thanks Blacksun! Well obviously my discussion are for those people who are really believes in God but having a hard time in reconciling their faith about the reality of God especially during the most trouble times of their life. Maybe you are right in saying that it doesn't make any sense, to you at least-- but to others maybe it makes a lot of sense because as what you have said "people have different perception in life" So I may also say that not all people will agree with you that "God is the One who brings us sufferings and problems." This philosophy or argument will lead to a false perception that people like you and me are not responsible for our own actions, right? Many times people suffered because of his own wrong doing, actions or decisions. Lastly, I agree with you in saying that God is sending us trials (of many kinds)and that's for the purpose of molding our faith in Him. - Thanks again Kabayan.

I have strong faith in god, his presense, his help and his hearing us
When ever i am in problem, the first thing that comes to my mind is 'god', by the term god, i speak of several hindu gods and goddesses.
we have to suffer as per our past deeds, karma etc, all prayers are not granted..
thanks for this nice post

Yes, God is definitely real, as all you need to do is look around you, and see God's handiwork in all the stars, clouds, trees, flowers, mountains and other things of nature. If God didn't exist, you wouldn't see all the nature that he created. I have always believed in God, as he has been with me in many ways, and has blessed me in many ways as well. If it weren't for God, I wouldn't be where I am at, as he has had his hand in it all. Also, all you have to do is pick up your Bible, and see God throughout. I don't know what I would do without my Bible either as it has drawn me closer to God and Jesus. Take care, and have a very good day.

Yes, God is for real... I think that people are the ones who make problems for themselves- since God gave us free will, we can do almost anything, so we should be prepared to face the consequences of our actions... Also, life would be boring without problems.
