Christians When you have a bad or sad day somehow God makes it better?

Just remember that we are not made for this world.  Someday God will bring us home.  He will bring us home, not for something that we did, but because He loves us and sent His son to die on the cross for us.  Now that is love.  Read Isaiah 53 to see how much God has always loved us.

Yes, this is how it feels. I am right now managing a sore throat and a congested nose. Yet, would all these come to heal without God? No, we are all punished for our actions,thoughts,and words. Are not we all evil in a way? We have all somehow harmed a creature... by stepping on it or eating it. God is not punishing us as bad as the bad. The truly evil are the ones with no love for anything. Those are the ones who are suffering. Even though I am not Christian, did Jesus not suffer? He did it for us. Does God not suffer?... seeing our pain and misery. Yet, throguh this darkness a light shines through. God is beautiful as anything. He is helping us. God sees misery in our hearts and shines light through. Think for a moment...How had God helped you?

Maybe you need something to fill your soul. I felt powerless once and tried to do everything to make me feel better about life and myself but nothing worked. Then I found God and I'm a changed man. I'm still powerless without Him but through Him I can do anything. If you think this is silly, then when you run out of options, you might just give God a chance. Who knows, you may just find what you are looking for. I know I did.

Sometimes when people complain about the day or the weather I just say 'You're alive aren't you?'. I know that life gets hard but for me just knowing that God loved me enough to allow me to be alive. Maybe begin to appreciate the 'little things'. Like being able to walk, talk, breathe, sing, see, run, eat, laugh, have a roof over your head if its a shack or a mansion. Sometimes you have to force yourself to look for things to appreciate about life. And the simplest is 'at least you're not dead'. I know its cliche but everything happends for a reason. Don't mistake though, you may think 'what she talking about, what has she been through'. Believe me I have been through things and I have just come to the understanding that we need to appreciate what we do have, we need to think positive that everything does really happen for a reason. It is hard to see peopel suffering. I just pray for them and if I can help I try to.

As a Christian, I believe that God lays on our hearts certain situations that we need to pray about.  Maybe the pain and anxiety is the Holy Spirit urging you to pray for someone's spirit as they are about to pass away.

When i look back and think of all the things i have gone through, not the good, but the entirely awful ones, times when i was nearly dead, times when i felt i wouldnt survive those depressions, I cannot sometimes believe that iam alive, and just fine. I think it was god. I was experiencing god and i didnt realise it 'while' going thru it, but when i look back, i guess it was god or whatever higher power pulling me out of it....

I know what your going through, sometimes my life just completely sucks and i just wonder why? does the world or god have something against me or something. But when my life starts to be crap.But the world isn't against, it just seems that way when your life isn't going the way you want it. When i feel this way, I do this: Take a long hot bubble bath, then sit down and watch your favourite movie with a mug of hot chocolate, and just relax and forget about it all. That's what I do, try it. It may work.

I believe there are several possible explanations for this.  Bad things do not happen to everyone for the same reason.  In one case, it may be a way that God is strengthening the person, or in another, it may be atonement for past karma, or it may be a lesson.  It could be so many different things, and I believe it is important to never point a finger at anyone who is suffering and say, "You've brought this on yourself."  Perhaps they did, but perhaps they didn't.  In any individual case, I don't think we really know.\n\nThere is one major issue here, and that is how do we define "Bad things"?  I have come to believe that events in themselves are neutral.  It is only our interpretation of those events that makes them "good" or "bad."  We can learn a skill of reframing, which is to change our thinking about a matter.  We can choose how we are going to evaluate the event.  Our gut reaction may be to think of it as bad, but you do not have to let the reaction rule over you.  You can find positive ways to look at it.  Of course, sometimes this is easy, and other times, extremely difficult, or maybe even nearly impossible.  But we can find ways of coping nonetheless.\n\nMy father was drafted to go to Vietnam, and before leaving, he took a last ride on his motorcycle.  He wrecked and broke his leg!  This actually prevented him from having to go to Vietnam.  Everytime I see a Vietnam veteran who is struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, I praise God that my dad wrecked that day!\n\nSo, what has helped me more than anything is to say to myself a little Hebrew phrase I learned, "Gam zu letovah."  This means, "This too is for good."  And I have found this to be very good to say.  Even over the little things!  I break a fingernail, and I say, "Gam Zu Letovah."  And if you say this whenever some little annoyance happens, instead of cussing or huffing, you'll be amazed at the end of the day how much better you will feel.\n\n;)

The poor baby...well he is older than me, but still...the good always deal with the most.. I like to think that it's God's way of giving them more things to deal with the Christianly way so they get into heaven with millions of good deeds and plenty of faith....\n\n~SugaSw33t

Just look out side and think of all the things that did not go right and the thing that did go right in your life. No way it is all random. God had a hand in it all!

When I was younger it always seemed so much easier to be close to God. After school I use to sneak into my church and lay under the pews in the sanctuary, leaving poems in the hymnals for people to find during the Sunday service. It was my little bit of quiet time with God. I felt that by being there, in his presence, he was listening to my every word. But now, I am disheartened by the whole "Christian" scene. \n\nI am a good person, I volunteer my time twice a week to causes that I believe in. I work with people with disabilities to help them gain independance. I love my family, friends, and all the people around me.  But people find out that I am a lesbian and all of a sudden I am this horrible awful person who is out to ruin their way of life, molest their children, and kill people. I had bible phrases thrown at me left and right, people telling me that I was going to Hell, that I would never be allowed in their life again. All of these things made me spiral into this horrible depression. I felt like throwing myself in front of a moving train.\n\nBut one day I went to church. I crawled under the pew like I use to when I was younger, and I wrote some poetry. And then, the next day I did it again. And after that first day, I reconnected with some old friends that I had forgotten about, and I left the negative people in my life behind. And I kept doing the things in my life that gave me joy. I stayed up late to count the stars, and I got up early to watch the early morning sun rise above the horizon. And then I remembered that God was there waiting to listen, that all I had to do was talk to him.

Yes, this is the relief we get when we are saved, we have God's love and happiness in us, and I think God would like it if we shared some of that with others. After my dad was saved, people noticed this difference in him, this joy and happiness and because of that he got to explain it was because of Jesus. What a wonderful gift that God has given to us!

Just great! God makes every day worth celebrating, no matter how good or bad it was. How was yours?

most definately.I pray that God will get me through the hard times, not knowing myself how i will cope, seriously. I sincerely put myself in Gods guidance, and he allways provides. The trick is not to dictate how you want the prayer to go, but to put your faith in the Lord, in that he will get you through any outcome no matter how difficult.Life will allways throw eventualities at us and they are unpreventable. But with Gods help its easier to get through them.

GOD works in mysterious ways. we are not always able to comprehend why GOD does things the way HE does but there is always a purpose. hope everything goes well for you and yours in the coming years.
