When you are in troubles will you blame GOD?

I saw many people will do this, when they are in troubles they just say OH GOD why you given such problems/troubles to me! they just blame the god for their problems. I will be very confused about this. God loves us and if we ask for the help he will surely help us, only the thing is we must have faith on god. I read in one of the holy books "God is not the source of anyone's problems he is the only one who can help us." Instead asking for help why people will blame god? Share your views about this with me. God bless you all.

I don't know why people do this. In my case, I could say "why did God let me get cancer again?" But I think that scientifically, that would not be a good place of blame. I may not lead the best lifestyle, but I'm sure that there is a natural reason for the cancer recurrence. I don't say God did it because I don't think that is a very good explanation for why cells in my body started growing faster than before. I'm not an overly religious person anyway so why blame what I don't believe.

Wow! I am impressed with what you have written here. I don't currently have access to a blender or coffee grinder, but I would consider purchasing such things if I get funds available to do so. I had not thought about doing such things, but if it could have a positive effect on my life, I might consider it. I do need to live a healthier lifestyle, but since I am living in a motel room right now, I have very limited space. Thanks for the suggestion!

If you don't have a blender, eat the flax seeds without blending them. Do the prayers, you don't need money for that. Go somewhere there is beauty and meditate on that beauty. Feel a profound gratitude to God for putting this here for you to view. Every artist has a desire for his/her work to be appreciated. And God is the supreme artist. Go and give thanks.

I will tell you how to cure your cancer. Many times I have put this information out there. But most ignore it because it is not coming from the medical establishment. I am Choctaw. My people very rarely had cancer before the modern age. Some primitive peoples to this day do not get cancer. Because they have a natural diet. What we would call 'organic foods' for which the grocery store wants to charge you doulble. Get some flax seed. grind two heaping table spoons full of that in a coffee grinder. Put that and a cupful of cottage cheese and some milk and other fruits that you might want, and two table spoonsful of flaxseed oil in the blender and make a shake. While it is blending put 35 drops of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in so it gets stirred evenly through-out the shake. Make sure it is NOT the 3% Hydrogen Peroxide you can buy in a grocery store. That has chemicals in it. You don't want chemicals in your shake. Get some DHEA, some melatonin, CoQ 10, and some resveratrol. Take those every evening about a hour before bedtime. And pray.. not asking for cure, you are already getting that but thanking what ever God you pray to, for every second of life you have had, are having and will have. Love and Gratitude is the only prayer God wants to hear. Do this and you cancer will go away. Meditate loving thoughts toward the Cancer, telling it that it has done its job and it is O.K. for it to go back to sleep now. Don't harbor thoughts of violence or hatred for any part of your body. Ever. Many will try to debunk this cure, or this kind of prayer. Many will sing its praises. Those are the doubters and the believers. Which side do you want to be on? Remember... there are so many cases of cures from so called 'terminal diseases' from faith, that no one would be fool enough to deny it. Remember if anyone has ever recovered from one of the so called 'terminal diseases' then they are really 'terminal', are they? Think about it. The only thing that makes them terminal is your thought processes. But there is no case in the annals of medicine showing a cure because of cynicism and doubt. Think about it. Take this routine I have given you and believe that 'God', or Buddha, or the Universe, or what ever you want to call it, is speaking directly to you through me. Believe and live. Or doubt and die. Your call.

Hi sweetie. I think people find it easier to blame others and God for their problems or troubles. They are too lazy to go and sit and think why things go wrong. A lot forgot about karma and her little tricks. TATA.

Hi dear saphrina, instead blaming themselves for the troubles they just blame the god i feel. This way they will be relaxed by putting everything on god. True some people believe in karma, that i feel it is only an excuse. Thanks for your response. Have a good day saphrina.

I am not going to blame God.aafter all he is theone who tries to always keep me safe and keep me on track. Hehelps me and he maakes sure i amsafe...so why blame. Everything that has happened to us is not anyones fault. We make our own decision and qe make mustakes...instead of blaming God why not ask for help from him and next time let him decide for us.... So we commit less mistakes and are alwaus doing and living up to God's will.

As a Zen practitioner, I blame nobody for any troubles I may have. I focus on them and looke to see what life lesson's they happen to have. All problems pass in time, and without them, we would not grow stronger emotionally or spiritually. _Derek

God is not some old man on a throne who keeps tabs of what you do. God is an entity that pervades everything. He favors the barracuda the same as mankind. Because he is the barracuda as well as mankind. Think about it. A plane falls out of the sky into the ocean. On the plane are sinners and saints and babies. God does not interfere when the barracuda eats the babies. He does not save the saint. I read, not so long ago, of an earthquake collapsing a church full of God loving people in the middle of a sermon. Now either God isn't paying attention to what goes on down here, or it was a really bad sermon. Remember the flood... God killed every living thing. If you believe God does such a horrific thing as mass murder including children and babies. I don't believe that kind of crap. God has given us a planet and abilities. Jesus said. "Ye can do all these things I have done." Trouble is, we are too lazy to learn them. Many have shown us how. Just look at the abilities of the So Called Idiot Savants. Think about it.

I believe people blame God for lack of understanding. The Bible states we have not because we ask not, then it states we ask sometimes for the wrong things and do not put God first . which is God first in word and deed...we need the WORD (the Bible) to guide us and some have lack of faith..the problems sometimes men put upon themselves for they do not seek God first. God is our deliver from the problems and mountains(problems)..faith(believeing) . some problems the devil puts there in hope that some would blame God. In Jesus name(all things given in heaven and earth) in His name we should ask..believe and recieve.. the joy of the Lord is our strength..God Bless You also..

In times of trouble, never will I blame God. As a Christian I believe that all things work together for good to those who love God and are the called according to his purpose. Every trouble is an opportunity to make me a better person and despite the disadvantage, I believe everything will turn to my own benefit in the end. Troubles can be results of my own carelessness or others carelessness so God is teaching something whenever it comes so better just learn from every trouble that comes our way so instead of blaming God thank him rather

I had blamed God, because I have a lot of problems. At that time, I was desperate, and too stressful. Until I can not control myself. I always blame God, and never pray. Luckily, God still reminds me. I am sorry to have abandoned God. I am very pleased and grateful, because God is still willing, remind me, though I have forgotten God.

Hi Jo I think that is a wrong concept. When we get something beneficial immediately worshipping god day in and day out, but when we find something not favourable to us, then simply blame the God is entirely a misconcept. Not all but some people are still doing this mistake.

Hi akka I dont think there is anything wrong. On the contrary it is good. I have realized that there are troubles in almost everyone's life. Some vent out their unhappiness, frustrations (or whatever) on their kids, some on their partners, some even on their friends and on all occasions these people at the receiving end feel bad and hurt... Though the kids, the partners do not have much choice but to tolerate, the friends may leave you (and so can the partner)... This in turn will add to your misery. Now, if you keep everything inside within you, chances are that you would have high blood pressure, heart attack etc... which again is not welcome. So why not blame it on something or someone who doesnt care.... God is the perfect choice... because we grow up believing that he is the one who writes what you are... he is the one who can solve all your issues... so you always have two chances - 1. Your troubles would be attended to (if God Listens and cares) 2.you would be relaxed believing that you have sent your message across

Hi anna, everyone will have troubles or problems anna, the thing is people should be able to rectify it or face it. But i have seen people who blame god that the problems given by god will have stamina and they also feel that god given problems so god will clear it, this way they cool their minds, simply dumping on the god and relax. (one way good but god never give problems is it) Thanks for your good response. Have a great time anna.

Hi Accelerator, God i don't think he is belongs to one particular religion he is belong to the people his creation. We don't have good knowledge about the god so we ourselves created religion etc., God is only one, there will not any god for each religion, i have always this doubt if god is different for each religion then why people look alike, since god has powers to make their people in a different style? Is it not. So think is really god is belongs to religion? Thanks for your nice response. Have a wonderful day.

i believe that it is inherent to human to blame others for ones mistake and when one can't find anyone to blame it to but themselves they blame God. It is just an excuse to prevent ones self to feel guilty about a certain situation. God may allow problems to pass our way but this is not to persecute us but to make us stronger and wiser. He will never give anything that we can't handle. He give us problems because he knows that if we think right and act right we can be someone better.

When we have a lot of problems and trials in our lives, we look for someone or something to place the blame on. We often look to god as that scapegoat. God does love us but he did not make the troubles we come across. It is not fair to lay the blame on God when it should be ourselves to take the blame.

Hi sender, many will remember god or pray god only when they get problems, but praying god for ourselves and for others is always good. That itself will solve some problems. Thanks for your response. Have a good day/night.

You are absolutely right when you say that if we have complete 'faith' in God, He would help us. However, saying 'Oh God' is not for blaming God for the unfortunate incident, it is only an exclamation which we naturally cry. Quite possible for God'd help at that time. God always loves us and everytime He also guides us. Unfortunately, we never understand those signals of God. Have comlete faith in Him and you would see miracles happening.

Yes, people blame God out of their ignorance. These are the very same people who believe in God's presence. They think that everything is under control of God and therefore the problem they are facing is due to God's permission. But they ignore the other side - This problem could have been more severe if God was not there - God has made it less severe so that they can bear it. If a person blames God because of his treatable illness -- He forgets that he could have some severe disease like cancer or AIDS if there was no God. Many problems in our life are due to our actions only and we cannot blame God for them. We are responsible for most of our problems, how can we blame God. God has always made our life pleasurable and he is the one who has lessen our pains. We cannot and should not blame it. If there is any part that is played by God in our troubles it is that he has made them tolerable and less painful. As far as I am concerned, I do not blame God. I take all troubles as challenges of life. I believe that God has made them less severe otherwise my troubles would have been more without God's grace. God bless you too Jotomy.
