Complaining to God

I seem to remember an old hymn "take it to the Lord in prayer when we pray we are in conversation with God and its ok to tell him all and to ask that his will be done in the situation knowing he will answer but be prepared that answer may be no !for just as our earthly father says no to us on occasion so to will our heavenly father say no!we must remember that even if we cannot understand it at the time he will only do what is best for us in the long run!

I guess it is alright to complain to God and also to thank God. That is much better than complaining to other people who might know how to deal with the complaint or not. They might just be exacerbating the issue if they take it up without knowing how to solve it. God might be the better department to complain to. Cheers!!

Not sure what you ae getting at . But I never ask for anything!

God does not stop us from complaining to him. All through David he complain and asked for forgiveness. It is not wrong to complain but it is the way you do it. God says that we should fear and respect him. I take all my needs to God what I am trying to do at this moment is to learn how to leave my needs in his capable hands. You see when I asked God for things I will then think and talk about it with others and not forgetting it. Although God takes long to fulfilled what I asked for he is always sure. What want us to go to him with our needs and wants for us and others. We need to pray for the Holy Spirit yes because we should always remember that it is he who comforts and teaches us, so to me this is a must. There are other Spirits that the bible takes about that we should have too. For instance the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding. Remember God does not give us the Spirit of Fear so we should always go to him. The bible says we should pray without ceasing. All the best. Kerry

God is our Father in Heaven. We need to talk to Him just like we do our Dad. We must complain to God when things are not right with us. That way he will know best how to help us. Be truthful with Him and let Him know all your feelings. He knows what they are anyway but maybe He thinks we need to admit to them. You will never go wrong by just being honest with God and letting him know your true feelings no matter what they are. It is real easy for God to explain things to us that help us to understand our feelings better. This is usually what the problem is. Very often we just don't correctly understand what is going on with us.

We are told to cry out to God! He is our Father and wants our honesty. Prayer does not so much change THINGS, as it changes ME.

someone told me that when we pray for others needs,he will hear our petitions faster.i try to follow that-.

I try to remember to take all my requests to God. He knows them anyway. I have found an additional ministry praying for people I meet online, when they talk about things they want prayed for, or when Ithink they need prayers.Of course I pray the pious prayers as well.

I always say the Lord's Prayer however I take all my requests and needs to Him. Then if it is His will I shall get an answer. I have been very blessed as they have been just the right answers for me. Perhaps I do not recognise it as what I had hoped for at first but eventually it becomes clear that it is/was the right answer.

I first thank him, and praise him. I then worship him and glorify him. I ask him to guide me and walk with me and then present my requests. Then I pray for my friends, family and anyone I believe needs prayer; this is the time for intercession. Then I thank him again for listening to me, and giving me the breath to live and worship him and know him. He is life, he is everything. Lately, I had run away from God because I was disillusioned, and misguided by atheist preaching, especially of Shelley who is my favourite poet. But then I have realised they are all arguments by men and fallible. GOD exists; we would not be here without him. And I have come back to the heart of worship.

complaining to god is sumthing always..

Well, I figure that God gave me a brain so that I could help myself but that I would need Him sometimes. I do all I can to solve my problems then if I can't do it, I ask for His help. So He knows I never ask for little things. Usually I thank him as much and as often as I can for all the blessings He's given me. I don't think we have to accept and not complain, but I do think He'd like us to look at problems as opportunities for growth or something else in a more positive vein.

I don't think God has any problems with us complaining to Him, even if we're angry with Him about something. We are, after all, His children. Can you imagine (although I know it happens) not being able to go to your earthly father with your concerns? I believe we should go to God with praise, with thanksgiving, with needs and with complaints. There is no better source to deal with everything. We also have to be willing to accept His answer (I sometimes have a hard time with that one).

GOD is FAITHFUL. He answers all our prayers. As for me, I do direct all my prayers to God and always believe that He will answer everything. It could be in a way that we want but it can be in His own way. He knows everything and He knows what's best for us. He allows things to happen for us to grow spiritually and He makes things happen for us to know that He is just there. (",)

I try to take all of my concerns, my compliments and my problems to God. Afterall He is the only one strong enough to handle everything. I don't pray as often as I should but I don't only pray to complain or to ask for things. Nearly every morning on my way to work I thank God for all of the beauty around me. I leave early enough so that I can enjoy the sunrise, the landscape and even the beauty of the early morning fog.

I believe in God and all else..I pray but I don't go to church anymore..not that I don't like it and not that God would mind me not goin but I believe that if you have your faith and your beliefs thats what matters most. I don't depend on God with everything I try my best to achieve what I can. After getting my achievements I thank him, I thank him for what I have and what I get. I pray for him on times of needs only when I am desperate..But I believe that God will find a way for me when there seems to be no way. He is always beside me in everything I go through and with that belief I know he never leaves my side..Not being in Church or not going to church doesn't make me less of a believer but I believe not everyone who goes to church are people who follows his ways..I have proof of people like that who goes to church every Sunday some even everyday but they treat others cruelly outside of church. The Church is a place where we can learn from him and acknowledge him. It is a place we can pray and praise him but it doesn't mean that with you not going to church you are sinning. I don't believe that's true. God knows who is a true servant and the true believer.

i try to only come to the creator for big problems or worries, small ones i usually ignore them or deal with them myself. of course what is small to me may not be small for others, and big for me may be small nuisance for others. when i do pray i will use my own words i know if i haven't done anything wrong i will not lose any fight and i will receive exactly what i pray for. that's why i try to be careful in my own conduct because if i do make mistakes, things can actually get awry for myself. it may take years for the prayer to be answered, or it may only take a few hours but it's always the same rule: if i haven't done anything wrong i will get it, if not i won't. it doesn't matter i need what i pray for, or only want it. sometimes i was granted bigger luck in winning bingo when i was out of work, sometimes people chose to listen to their heart and do what was right or fair in my situation, all of these are the answers given to me. it's easy to believe that nobody hears our prayers, i had those times too, but there has been too many evidences in my life i just can't give up the fight easily anymore. i am sure if we all look back, we will notice that we do have some prayers that are answered now or maybe after a few years since we first prayed for it. if we give it up after we pray, what's the point of praying in the first place?

I have always admired David. He was very human, sinned greatly, he committed adultery and at one point even murdered,and yet he was a man after God's own heart. There's great comfort in knowing that he was forgiven, sometimes people think their sin is too great. He praised the Lord without caring what others thought. I think of the time that he danced naked before the Lord and Michal his wife mocked him. And yes he brought his complaints to God, sometimes even asking God where he was, and yet he always ended in praise to God. That is what I admire most about him. Yes we can bring our complaints to God but let us, like David always remember to praise him too.

For me complaining to God is not just mindless, pointless babbling. For me, when I talk to God about something that I dislike it kind of works as a catharsis. It helps me get it off my chest and once I have had my say I find that I'm on the other side able to get through what I know I have to do. So often I hear people say, "It's no use complaining. It doesn't do me any good anyway!", and I ALWAYS tell them that's not necessarily true. Complaining can help you process your thoughts and work out things. At least that's how it works for me. Now, if you are a pessimistic person who chronically complains,, that's another matter. THAT is when complaining does no good. That kind of person will complain no matter what and will find fault with everything. That is definitely not something that God wants from His children. Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

I am always thankful to the GOD because HE is all above the world . i am of the view that we should not complain to GOD but should be thankful to HIS bleesing. HE do right at the right moment instead of complaining we should obey HIS surpeme order.this is right way of attaining real happiness in life.
