Will you ask God why? will your faith be shattered? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2932)   ranked 30 out of 38,039 in life2 months ago

You applied for a job and among the 6 applicants, you are the most qualified. You feel confident that you will be hired not only because you are the most qualified but you believe in God and have prayed so much for this. You read His promises in the Bible that whatever you ask in His name, he will give it to you. And you heartedly believe that He gives good gifts to His children.

The next day, you found out that all were accepted excluding you. And mind you, these people don't share your faith?

How will you take this?

Your dream definitely will shattered, and you can't accept this truth at all. Your belief on God definitely in doubt. But you don't have to ask God why, that is the real, cruel world we are living in. So, grab a tight grip, moving on. Try it harder next time. Don't give it up. Follow what you really pursuing at.


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2932)   ranked 30 out of 38,039 in life  2 months ago

Cruel world, that is. Yes, move on and continue to follow your dreams.

good thinking.

cheers.

Hi, manong happy
I would probably curse the company and its people high and low! lol I would be very disappointed and ask God to help me get over that. But I do not think I would blame Him. You see, my faith includes my trust that everything I am praying for that is good for me and my family will be given to me at the proper time. If I were excluded by the company, then I know something bigger is in store for me.
Cheers! cool


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2932)   ranked 30 out of 38,039 in life  2 months ago

Definitely, something much better is in store for those who fully put their trust in Him.

Bless you.

you keep trusting that he has the very best for you. this answer comes from a lot of experience in dealing with disappointment. He is good despite the circumstances.

Yes, I believe He is. Thanks.

Yes, your Hopes will be shattered, In the Name of bhagawat Gita( the Holy book of Hindus), if you pray to god with utmost faith, then definitely good thing would happen. Yes, You may initially feel dejected and disappointed, but the fact is that you are destined for a better future and designation. Whenver god shuts all the windows, then he would definitely open the door. I dont mind whether other people have faith in god or not. But I would struggle hard to achieve the laurels and thanks for posting the discussion. Have a great day. Happy Mylotting. Cheers:-)


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2932)   ranked 30 out of 38,039 in life  2 months ago

If one door closes, another one opens. Yes, this is the reality of life.

have a great day!

I have seen my husband go through several disappointments while applying for a job and I somehow can relate to this scenario. It was difficult trying to console him whenever he was not accepted but then the knowledge of the sovereignty of God over his circumstance kept him going. We can find consolation in knowing that when God closes a door, He opens a window and that perhaps this is not the "good gift" that God intended for us. God's thoughts and ways are always higher than ours. What right does man have to question an all-knowing God?
God bless.


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2932)   ranked 30 out of 38,039 in life  2 months ago

Yes, he doesn't have the right. But even if he do question, it will not change anything. It's much better to believe that God is sovereign and that He knows what is best for those who trust Him.

cheers!

hi things like that have happened to me more than once. I do well remember the time when I had finished my training as a librarian. Guess what, a position was open in that nice library which is a combined public library and school library. though I came from exactly these quarters,where the library still is, though the librarian working in the School library there had inspired me to become a librarian and though I was very familiar with that place someone else got the job and to top that situation off, it was someone I knew as she was in the same school for librarians and she was such an airhead. I dont know what I did wrong so I didnt get that job.


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2932)   ranked 30 out of 38,039 in life  2 months ago

Yes, sometimes we ask ourselves why is it that our prayers were not answered while at the same time people who don't fear God are those who are favored. One thing for sure, this happened for a reason and one day we will thank God for this.

have a great day


myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (14518)   ranked 1,526 out of 38,039 in life  2 months ago

hi manong I have a totally different career now working for Workers Compensation and sadly I never worked in a public library, the job I was trained for. Its not easy when you invest time and efforts into getting good grades or a good diploma and then you end up doing something entirely different. Sounds and looks like wasted time.

Was God doing the interview and making the decision? I have not read in a bible that you will receive whatever you ask~ that doesn't seem like a responsible God - what would happen if six people were asking for the same job? I am not sure which scripture you are referring to and perhaps the prayer may change to help me present my best self in an interview. I don't believe God grants wishes - our wishes may not be in our best needs.


myLot reputation of 91/100. manong05 (2932)   ranked 30 out of 38,039 in life  2 months ago

you may want to read John 14:14 "you may ask me anything in my name, I will do it" and also John 15:16 "... the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name"

I am not offering an interpretation here, just merely reading. The words must be qualified and interpreted properly in the context of whole Scriptures. Certainly, it doesn't imply irresponsibility on the part of God. Far from it.

Have a nice day Trensue.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Trensue (1236)   ranked 360 out of 38,039 in life  2 months ago

Thank you for directing my to the scriptures you were reading. I was not referring to a scripture~ I was talking about what things we may choose to pray for. I know that sometimes I pray for things that I think are in my best interest and then am so blessed I didn't get what I prayed for.

If we all interpreted scriptures the same way there would be no diversity. That would be interesting. I didn't mean to offend you in any way. It was just another perspective.

I view God as a loving father and if I ask for too much candy - the answer is still no.

So long.


myLot reputation of 98/100. 2timothy (388)   ranked 6,405 out of 38,039 in life  2 months ago

To be in the Lord's name means to be one with the Lord, to live by Him, and to let the Lord live in us. The Lord came and did things in the Father's name (John 5:43, 10:25) meaning that He was one with the Father (10:30), that He lived because of the Father (6:57), and that the Father worked in Him (14:10). (RcV)


myLot reputation of 96/100. Trensue (1236)   ranked 360 out of 38,039 in life  2 months ago

Thank you for your interpretation~ I respect your opinion and I a finished with this conversation.

You make your own luck in this life and cannot go through it relying on some god or other to provide everything for you. So you didn't get the job - ask the employer why, not your God! The learn from their feedback, pick yourself up and move on. Don't dwell on the bad things, see this as an opportunity to get a better job.

The good things the Father gives to His children in Matt. 7:11 is not some outward material blessings but is the Holy Spirit as indicated by the parallel verse in Luke 11:13.

We ask God for what we want but God gives us what we need.

We may not know the whys now but we know who we have believed in and rest in faith knowing that He caused all things to work together for our good and will in the future eventually know why and be thankful.
