Ever feel sorry for...

Anyone ever feel sorry for turning to God when you are down?

I pray every day and always ask God for guidance, love, patience, protection, and to please forgive me...but I am not always doing the hard praying that I should be. Lately I have been under a lot of stress and emotion and I have also been talking to God a lot more.

It has been one of those week or two times when you start praying and end up crying by the time it is over...just asking for help, to take the pain away, to take away the fear, to help my life, and to guide me in the direction that he wants me to go.

I just finished praying...a very hard prayer before bed...and felt a little guilty. Do I ONLY really turn to God when I am in dire need?

Just something to think about...

well i feel about the same you must feel, i know whatcha talkin' about but i don't feel 'sorry' or 'guilty' or anything, i don't even think someone is 'listening' lol, it's just a way to relieve myself (i can see the jokes comin now...:D )
 
:devil:
Nope. But I have noticed that people in trouble usually "find" god.
Prayer wont solve your problems confronting them and taking action to correct them will.
 
I'm the exact opposite bfold, when things are bad I curse at God like a mofo. When things are good I sing out praise like no ones business. I talk to God a lot. Sometimes he puts me on hold and that can piss me off too.
 
I always feel kinda sad when people say things like "I'll say a prayer for you tonight." Why wait until you're ready for bed to talk to God? I talk to God and pray all day long! I truly always feel Him with me.

I always say a prayer of thanks for what I have or for answered prayers too...it usually helps me to put problems into perspective...

I hope you find then answers you're looking for B Fold.

God will do whatever it takes for him to get your eyes on him. I went to chruch yesterday for the first time in a couple years and I loved it. I realized how much I missed it from going all the time when I was a kid and a teen until now. Some people only talk to God when they need him and push him to the side when they dont. Thats when he does what he has to do to get your attention again.
 
bfold, I can totally relate to what you are saying. And I should have learned from the last time God helped me out of a bad time(lots of them) in my life I should have learned to keep talking and thanking him for the good times in my life. But have confort in knowing when you are tested you are growing in character for His work.

I think pinapple devil(should be angel btw) brought up a very good point that God will do what it take to bring you back into His fold so to speak.
 
Don't feel guilty bro. God created man (not my beliefs, but stay with me here) in his image. So, in theory, He'd be doing the same thing. Asking for help only when in dire need.

Something else to think about ... ?


But in all seriousness dude, I don't think you should feel guilty at all. Sometimes all you can do is pray.

I feel the same way...

But there are times when I have felt guilty about pushing God to the side and only talking to him when I want or need something...but I think that many people go thru that from time to time...it doesnt mean you are a bad person...it means that you should take that as an opportunity to grow in your relationship with Him.

"I think of GOD even when I'm not praying..."

Quoted by our Minister last Sunday from a child's letter to God.

Personally I also think of Jesus and GOD all through the Day.

Sometime I'm thinking about or questioning things I do, or want to do, and asking for guidance or forgiveness and strength.

Sometimes I'm thinking about GOD in relation to other people and wondering if he will show himself to them.

Sometimes I thank Jesus for little things out loud like if I find a lost important item or if something potentially bad turns out OK..

Be glad that you are turning to Something to give you strength when you need it, and resolve to give thanks more often for little blessings as well..

I went to church the other day for the first time since I was quite young (about 12 or 13) and as soon as the service started, it struck me just how mad the people there were.

I was amongst a bunch of zombies. Zombies that had been conditioned to believe complete nonsense.

(E.g. Priest: "Give thanks to the lord", Congregation: " We have all sinned and shall truly repent, We shall give thanks!")

It really was quite scary. I used to thnk that Christians were a bit smarter and normal than the other religions that believe in Elephant Gods and such, but no, I was wrong.

Sounds like you need to visit a few other Churches.
There are many that teach what it means to be a Chrisitian so that it makes sense in todays modern world...

I left the Roman Catholic church as a teen because of the Ritual nature of the Mass. Same thing week after week for the most part. People reciting without knowing what they were really saying.
 
No, I pray in good times and bad. I have known to thank God in prayer even when I successfully merge onto traffic. :D There are some crazy drivers out there. LOL Seriously, I wouldn't feel guilty for praying at certain times...God loves you no matter what. :)

Well over in the UK, we have a show called 'Songs Of Praise'. It tours different churches every week and broadcasts a service. Each church this program goes to is exactly the same as the church I visited, if not worse leading me to believe that the vast majority of churches are like this.
 
You should never be ashamed to talk to God. I pray 3+ times a day and always thank him for what he has blessed me with and ask him for help in the areas I'm struggling in. I've had the long, hard, tearful prayers when I felt he was the only one that was their to listen.

I would probably feel guilty if I only prayed when I needed help, just like I would feel guilty if I only called up a friend when I wanted them to do something for me.

I know many people lose faith when their prayers aren't answered. I have struggled with that myself. But sometimes it's just not the right time for that prayer or it's not what God had in plan for you.

Another thing many people forget is that the bible never says that if you believe in God there will be no hard times in your life. Your faith is truely shown when you follow God in good times AND IN BAD.

Your a good man B fold. Ever think that God brought you to Elite to motivate hundreds, if not thousands, of people to achieve their goals?

It's not the Church's, it's this Road Show that is Stale IMO...

Personally go visit a few churches in your area. I'm not sure what different denomination are in the UK these days but don't let this "Show" make you believe all are the same..

I went through that same thing when my girlfriend and I broke up a couple years ago. I didnt agree with it and I know it was all to get my eyes back on him so I kind of turned my back on him. Trust me, you wont win. Things happen for a reason and if you keep your eyes on him, he'll show you that.

Don't worry about offending us, it's God you need to worry about (remember he can squash you like a bug.) But He doesn't want to he wants a relationship with you. The other guy down in the world aka Satan wants doesn't want nothing to do with you except squash you like a bug.
 
Kak, Not offended just curious and offering some advice if I can hence the ? mark..

Sure, Ive had my low times when I cursed God for doing something in my life.
Asking WHY he could do that to us etc...

Then, I realized that what happens in life and how God controls it is all a Mystery, and none of us will ever ever easily understand really WHY...

Accept the fact that it has happened for a reason and that reason will someday be made apparent to you.

No biblical Miracle, No sightings of Jesus, no dream, nothing that would immediately be seen as the answer.

But I believe that whatever your beef is, someday the answer as to why it happened to you will be Miraculously Clear.

Maybe not tomorrow or next week but Someday....

It did for me but it took years...
