Have i ever questioned God? Yes, quite a lot of times. I even got so angry at him. I questioned Him when i was going through a difficult time just recently yet He was so gracious, merciful, faithful and patient with me. I was not able to find very specific answers regarding my questions but He made me understand so many things. It was tough to have your faith shaken but God is real and He had proven that to me so many times. I think it's ok to question Him in prayer coz once a commentator said that "prayer that includes an element of questioning may be a means of increasing one's faith." God bless! :)

yae we get to the point by hating him because we dont have patient and we wanted to get the answer right way but we never realize he gave his life to protect us for our salvation.

Oh Kulit, that was so beautifully expressed. I too have questioned God and even got angry with him. And like you He dealt with me in a very loving and patient way. One thing I came to realize was what ever situation I found myself in, nine times out of ten, it was because of a decison I had made earlier, even years earlier. Not everytime, but most. I had a difficult childhood, which wasn't brought on by a decision I made, but He helped me understand the deeper things. Amazing.

I think that part of human nature to question GOd and wonder why things happen. Sometimes we get our answers others times we dont.

Well, there are times when I do question God. But I guess my faith is much stronger. That is why, regardless of all the bad things that come my way, I just take on the challenge and move on. I know that God has something good in store for me. I just have to be patient.

yes we have to be patient at all times, to do the things we wanna do and to those problems we received and think that we are still lucky for surpassing the difficulties we have been through

I used to ask him "WHY"?"WHEN"?! then i realized that,trusting him than questioning him is the best way to get the answers. Instead of questioning God,i asked for his guidance, and i just let his will be done,and not mine. I do believe that he has reasons for everything that is happening in our lives,and whatever it is,it will always be for the good and us who'll benifit.

I do that most of the time, when I'm in the verge of hopeless and desolation. I don't like talking with other people my problems, so I turn to my room, lock myself up, and cry my heart out. During these times, I sit at a corner, with tears in my face, asking God why, why, and more why's. I don't mean to question His power at all, nor blame everything to Him. I know I'm the captain of my boat so I wouldn't dare blaming God with the misfortunes I get from my actions. I don't want to question God, either, but that's just me. However, whenever I come to my senses and get myself together, I ask God for forgiveness, for questioning Him. It's not good to question God but I just can't help it. So after the hard crying, I try my best to say sorry and eventually make a solution in my mind. I have faith in Him, so whatever my solution is, I know God will guide me to solve my problems.

Hi patzel88, I did sometimes when i really feel down.When i got to much problem that feels like i cannot handle or i cant talk to somebody else about it.Then God is my guide i am asking him for guidlines ands sign on what i have to do.If i go further w/ things. I prayed many time and asking for forgiveness if i did something wrong.I asked him to help my friends who is sufferring from depressions,and sickness.But i dont questions God in the person i lost,to the person i love are gone,or passed away.I know he is doing these kind of things for a reason and i believed that God doesnt gave anything that you cannot handle.I think God loves me becouse most of the time what i asked has been answered.My faith is making me strong and go further in lifes and move on if i am hurts.

I don't question God. I only pray to Him that everything will be fine though the situation is getting worse. I believe in Him that He will never let me fail. He'll always be there for me.

I question him often. Sometimes I do not get the answer right away but with time I know. Sometime good things happen, some times bad things happen but god always has a reason for it even if you do not understand it at the time.

If you mean questioned God as in questioned whether he exists, is real, etc., yes, me being an Atheist. I do sometimes wonder if there happens to be something out there, however. It is easily possible that our universe could be ran by a giant pickle. So I often ask questions to existence in general, wondering if something out there will answer.

There were many times when I questioned God because my life was not good and He seemed to have abandoned me. What I eventually realized, after things got better for me and my life became much happier, was that He had to make me strong first, then He had to present the opportunities to me that He knew I would be brave enough to take because I was stronger. Now my life is very happy and I know that I would not be here, with the husband that I have if God had answered my first prayer for help so I'm very happy that He ignored me. His plan was much better than mine.
