Don't you think we always focusing on our problems and so we forget so many things that God gives to us? We tend to blame and complain to God about our problems but we tend to forget to say thanks if something good happen to us, if you begin to think about the blessings from God, wouldn't you realize about the love of God to us? How about your opinions, dear mylotters?

That's exactly what I meant, you may can't count them because there are so many, and you'll realize the love of God after all

My mother always taught me and my siblings to count our blessings. Then, she would sing the song: Count Your Blessings, One by One. I do remember to count my blessings. My husband and I were able to find the right car for us the first day we went looking for a car. Every day, we are grateful to God for this car, which we were able to get such a good deal. It is just right for us and I really think God guided us to this car. I am grateful to God for the big things and the little things in each day.

Human nature does not remember God and praise Him, but when faced with a problem (except who my Lord bless them) .. When it solved he return to his life and forget even to praise God for the blessing . God says in the Quran: [34.13] They made for him whatever he wanted, arches, statues, bowls as basins, and fixed cauldrons. (We said:) 'Give thanks, House of David and work. ' Yet only a few of My worshipers are thankful. " [16.78] Allah brought you out of your mothers' wombs, and gave you hearing, sight and hearts, in order that you be thankful. " [89.15:16] As for man, when his Lord tests him by honoring him and favoring him, he says: 'My Lord, has honored me. But when He tests him by restricting his provision, he says: 'My Lord has humiliated me. " Here are reminiscent of some of the graces to us [90.8:10] Have We not given him two eyes,a tongue, and two lips,and guided him on the two paths (of good and evil) ? " reply the Question : yes ? I praise Him if I have problem or illness , because I believe that he forgive to me my sins , because I was have pain and be patient , we must thank God in the both condition .

Ideally we must thank God for both our problems and blessings, but don't you think the humans tendency is just to cry out about their problems but forget how much God has blessed us? But yes, it's good that you don't forget to thank God for both condition, that what should we do. Our problems make us stronger and in a way it can be blessing too

thanks for sharing this topic with us. God is fair and bless every one. we always tend to complain and blame,but when we have good luck, we will not say thanks because we have the idea that we deserve it. Beautiful thing is everywhere, just need us to discover.

Yeah, perhaps because people tend to think they deserve the good thing so they will forget to say thanks for something good/blessings, thank you for your opinion :D

I think by saying thank you to God, you are realizing that life is bigger than you are. Also, by saying positive things such as thank you, I think, it keeps people uplifted and inspired. When you make someone else's day by being grateful for the good things they do, you actually feel better. Just as it is not a good idea to leave bad feelings bottled up inside us, neither is it a good idea to leave the good feelings bottled up inside us. The good feelings and expressing an appreciation for the good things and the good feelings are probably more important to express and share.

Yes, I focus on the good, rather than the negative. I always remember God in the good times and the bad times. I am grateful for what He has given to me. He is the only one I trust. God is love.
