My hearts ponders why
People have such little faith
When facing problems

They tend to blame God
Instead of blaming the world
And its bad choices

Examine yourself
We are all accountable
For our own actions
Part 4
Reach for the heavens
Pray a heartfelt prayer to God
And have childlike faith
Reflection
I know someone that is blaming his problems on God. He told me “God does not love me to allow this to happen to me.” I told him that doubt alone can cause our problems to get worse. Thinking positive may just help people’s problems solve themselves, or just helps us have a healthier outlook on life. I know that the problems that I have suffered through are not God’s fault. I do believe that the reason my problems have improved themselves, is because I kept the faith by allowing peaceful thoughts to surround me.
This reflection is just my opinion on how I feel about people blaming God for their troubles. But when those heart wrenching problems happen, just know God did not do that to you. He can help you find peace though. When we are all hurting from life’s tragedies, just know God is not to blame. I know some members here have lost a child etc, and yes, the first instinct may be to blame God, but that is just our pain talking. Comfort is what can help ease our pain. This post is mainly about people that blame God for every little thing that goes wrong in there life. If everything goes fine, then God is good, but if things are not so good, then God would get all the blame for it all.

If you give your life to god, on some level you are abdicating personal responsibility. If you blame god for your problems, you are doing the same thing. So whether you blame or praise him, you are still giving your life over to him…
Thank you Alex Ledante for this thought provoking comment. You are right!
I tend to come at things from a different angle than most…
Quite a lot of people who behave like that! The reason is that God is omnipotent, so that great power is what has caused them trouble. As you say, the key is to nurture peace, conquer fear, and accept sincerely all that goes while still do something to solve problems, or make it a lesson to grow!
You are very wise my friend. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us all,
You are always welcome, LaJenna. Always happy to share with all friends.
After losing my son I didn’t blame God but I felt he desserted me, was not there for me. Still feel like that most of the time.
Watch the movie “Love comes softly.” It tells about a women who lost her husband and how she made the peace she needed to go on with the world. He can’t tell his people that nothing bad will happen due to sin, but he does promise to be there with you.
But he wasn’t there, he was the only one who could have intervened with my 16 y/o to make him realize he should not take his life. And he did not. He allowed it to happen.
We should not blame anyone. Neither God nor anyone else. Let’s look where we are wrong. Take the right decision and move forward.
Thank you for your thoughts lacho59. You are so right!
