For so many years I have been blaming God for the many misfortunes I have in life. But today I start to think that maybe it is my fault. I assume I live a pleasing life to God but the truth is my life could not be very pleasing to the Lord so He let me pass through hardships in life.
I have times I want to give up my faith. I try to see that it is my fault and my ways did not please God. I need to ask for forgiveness and try to live a pleasing life from now on and hope that God will restore me and forgive me.

Everyone has a life that is like the proverbial wheel that sometimes you are on top and sometimes you are at the bottom. I don't think God has something to do with that.

Maybe He does not want us to just taste pleasure. He allows pain too to humble us

@Alexandoy Maybe you are right time and chance and happen to anyone and God has nothing to do with it. It's just random chance

@averygirl72 as I said, I don't think God has something to do with the misfortunes. It's a long explanation so I cannot write about my full opinion on the matter.

First you Blame God. Then you Blame yourself. What has Blame really gotten you? Blame is a petty thing mankind holds so dear. Let it go.
So many people think it's God's job to let them have it made. So many people think if they do not have it made that they are bad somehow or that God is angry or upset in some way. None of this is true. That's not what God is doing with this world.
When times are good, we all sit back and enjoy the ride. When adversity hits we have to think, study, analyze, search for knowledge, interact with others, learn and grow in our struggles toward resolution. So much more is gained over simply having it made. This is the path to acquire true Wisdom.
Problems should be worked on. One should never sit back and wait for God to fix it all. Widen that view. Answers exist all around you. Brains win in the long run.
If you ask enough people, you might find someone who has already had that problem. They might carry new ideas and solutions. Be enterprising. Meet more and more people. Search the internet for possibilities. Answers exist everywhere.
When adversity hits, look with a new view. How does this change things? How can this lead to Better things? This other half will always exist.
The first thing God pointed out to me is that mankind carries such a narrow view. Isn't it time to move forward?
Everyone should stop worrying about upsetting God. You will never make an omelette without breaking some eggs. God knows you will never really Learn without making a few mistakes.
God's Greatest moment is when that light bulb goes off over someone's head and they Understand. This can be about any subject.
So be Brave! Be Bold! You are capable of much more than you realize. Show God how Strong you are and what you are really capable of doing.
It has always been in your hands.

@averygirl72 I know you do not realize this when I say it, however Faith have nothing to do with it. Believing has never been important to God and the devil is no more than an invention of mankind to have someone to blame. There it is again: Blame.
Overcoming those adversities makes one Smarter, Wiser and more capable to solve more complicated problems along with helping others. Be Smart. Take on all those challenges willingly. See what you learn on the journey. See how much Stronger you will become.
God is Teaching you as He is teaching us all.
Few things worthwhile in life will come easy. We are all meant to stand without crutches. I know you are more capable than you could imagine. Your journey awaits.
You have all my Love and Kindness!!

Thanks for a long response. Blaming God is not good but I feel so negative sometimes that I think God is not really good for allowing misfortunes in my life. I started to think more positive as of today. Maybe it is the devil who really send troubles in life to weaken my faith in God because if you have faith you have the key to a really amazing life. God allow challenges for our faith but if we remain positive and unstoppable we will see blessings will be unstoppable too

@bird123 Thanks for saying that I am more capable than I could imagine. Actually some you said I really don't understand. I realize that life is facing challenges day after day and we should be prepared to face them not run from them

I think life has to go through hardships in life to really appreciate how precious life is. There are times we could not understand why we have to go through with it but if you persist on knowing it you will know it somehow as you traverse in life. I think with your thoughts and intentions God has already forgiven you and love you still despite you question HIM of His intent with you passing that hardship in life.

I think there are hardships to make us mature. We will not grow if everything is easy

How do you interpret that verse. I'm always trying to be a good person but I think that is not enough. I have a heavy heart every time I feel that God did not bless me enough in this life
