Does any one feel like this somtimes?
I feel like God has forgotten me In have depression and I'm always sad why would he let this happen to me! I feel to forgotten by him because I like beg for him to make me happy and nothing its almost like he wants me to be sad whats does every one else think about that? If you dont belive God its ok..even Satan Belives in God

I know...I didn't mean you meant it like that...I'm sorry if it sounded that way. And you're right...sometimes God allows us to go through things to make us stronger and even happier in the end.

i didn't say things happened because God wanted it that way.. i just meant that maybe God didn't just give her instant miracles and solutions because He wants to use the circumstances for them to be closer...


i know it sound weird and mushy and stuff but... yea..

I'm happy all the time. More happy than I was when I believed in God, ironically.

Of course, that's just me.

But the thing about blaming bad things on the devil is this: what if the bad now produces good in the future? Is it still the devil's fault? I once heard a story about a group of missionaries that were driving along in a bus when they hit a massive mudhole that completely destroyed the bus and caused them to lose almost all of their missionary material, which caused major setbacks in their mission. Of course, they said it was the work of the devil, trying to prevent them from spreading God's word. Shortly after arriving back at the nearest town, they learned that there was another mudhole further down the road that would have propelled them off a cliff if they had hit it. Instantly, the first mudhole was now the work of God, stopping them from hitting the second mudhole.

Situations are not inherently good or bad. They are what you make of them. Being proactive is the best way to take advantage of a sour situation.

God would so curse.
My money's on him saying, at the beginning of the Universe. "And let there be motherfuckin' light, on a motherfuckin' planet".

Blaming the devil seems cheap, no?

"A bunch of children were saved on a bus that was about to crash."
Must have been the work of God.

"A bunch of children were killed on a bus that crashed."
Must have been Satan.

"Two kids helped replant trees in their community."
They love God.

"Two kids shot up a school, in an angry rage."
They love Satan.

Screw that. Otherwise, I'm going to blame every bad part on the Devil.

ok...first off...God would never talk to anyone like that.
and also, you have to remember...God didn't make you depressed...that was the devil...something in your life (I'm guessing) allowed you to stray away from God and allowed the devil to come in and attack you. and audreee is right...if we were happy all the time, we would think we didn't need God.

REMEMBER ME YOU FUCKER!
/punch

Yep. Sounds like God.

think of it this way.. your sadness could indicate that GOD remembers you! coz if you were always happy, maybe you'd 4get all about Him.. sadness and depression is always a time to bond with God.. maybe He just wants to be closer to you..

"It's our struggles that define us
And the hardships we endure
Your spirit can't be broken now
You've come too far"

Hatebreed - You're Never Alone

Why bother about God?
If he's not going to help you, help yourself.

well i haven't read what everyone else said BUT rain falls on the good and the bad the just and the unjust. PLus begging for God to make you happy isn't the best thing. He's like a friend and if you never ever talk to him and then only talk to him when you need him... and only ask seek to talk to him when you need him then its pretty much a one way relationship.. see my point? Keep in touch and im sure the answer will come.. but dont jsut ask for things

I can't be Jehovah's Witness, I didn't see his accident

I am a Jehovah's Witness and let me just say that it is unwise to blame God (Jehovah) for any of the unfortunate circumstances you find yourself in. Satan the devil is really to blame for the unjustice in the world, i have also thought this too, but with careful bible reading i learned that he seeks to turn all away from God by putting obstacles before them. dont think God has forgetten you. Jehovah god never leaves you, by building on these doubts placed before you by the devil, you leave him.
I hope you understand that i am not telling you you're wrong, i am trying to reason with you because i once felt this way too. if you want to discuss the issue further you know how to reach me.

if god forgot you, forget him and make yourself happy. you are the only one who can make YOU happy. try doing one thing you love each day or talk to someone who will actual respond and care unlike a god.

you know what really helps? making yourself look really pretty for no reason or watching a funny movie with someone you love. just find ways to have fun because you are wasting away by constantly praying for something only you can achieve

Kate, have you ver seen God caring for a fallen sparrow? Thats the one odd thing I find about this passage, is that whilst it seems conforting, I have never seen anything caring for the many dead sparrows that I have seen.

God never forgets anyone...he says in the Bible if he cares for the sparrow that has fallen to the ground, aren't we more important to Him then the sparrows? Or something like that. Now...I'm not accusing you of nothing, but maybe there's something in your life that's holding back God's perfect will for you. If you wanna talk more....e-mail me kountry_kate3@hotmail.com or MSN IM me.

You will survive your turmoil and be stronger for it. Everything that happens to us is part of Gods plan. you will emerge with new found strength and wisdom. The journey is hard, now you seem to have lost your way but you will be stronger for it when the road forks.

MANDY231: I DONT THINK HAS FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU. GOD IS ONE OF THE PERSONS WHO MOST CARES ABOUT YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL AND WHY?

Like I said personally, (this normally means that an opinion will follow that can be ignored), I believe needs healing of some kind. Be it spiritual or physical.

If you express your opinion on a forum don't remind us it can be ignored. We know that. Every debate on here can be ignored, but they're not, enough to remain active.

I agree that everyone needs healing at some point or another, but why does EVERYONE need to be healed? What is the ideal state of being you're searching for?

I'm still with clpo, I think I'm fine as I am, as all healthy people are.

I really didn't think that faith healing was used, till I watched this documentry on American Chrisitianity.

ok...
