don't complain..........\nInstead, praise him and thank him for all he has done.........\nSay Lord you know how I feel, please help me to understand....

#1 No.\n#2 Dumb luck.\n\nQuick, while you are of sound mind, take a good hard look at the idea of god and see it for what it is. I say quick because who knows when the next lucky break will come your way and all will be hunkey dory with god again. Use the time you have wisely and perhaps yiou will break free of the superstition and see that "god helps those that helps themselves"  (meaning you help yourself, and god takes the credit)  Time to roll up the shirtsleeves and do god's work (help yourself that is.)

Rebuke the spirits that are coming against you in the name of JESUS CHRIST.  We are told that we have been given power to do such, and many times the only reason we are tormented is because we don't stand on what the WORD says.\nWe are not to rejoice in that power, but to rejoice that our names are written in heaven.\n\nyou are in my prayers, but also know that you have authority in the name of JESUS CHRIST.

Try to be as polite as possible.  Explain common misconceptions about it in a way that isn't harsh or exasperated.  Some people will never believe that we know better than they do what our faith is about and you won't be able to change their minds no matter what.  \n\nI try my best to show them by example that what they think they know is not true.   My line of thinking has always been if they can see that I'm not running around dressed all in black threatening to cast spells on people then maybe what they think they know is false.  It works sometimes and not others.  \n\nI know it's difficult to maintain your composure when people become hostile and insulting, but you almost have to.  If you respond in kind, you prove their point.

I have found that the answer to our prayer is a lot closer that you think. You can not pimp God. He is sovereign. He will answer your prayer. Maybe you feel like he's not answering you 'cause your focus is on the answer and not him. When you put your focus totally on him and continue to live a life that is pleasing to him, your answer will be sitting at your feet. Focus on God and getting all the mess people can't see like envy, anger, hate, jealousy, covetousness, and the list goes on. We are all a work in progress, but when we take the time to build our relationship with him, instead of asking or "praying" for things, all our desire will be met. Now don't get me wrong, pray.... ask God for what you want and need. Just be prepared and ready to accept ,if he say not now or NO! You are not crazy or confused; life and death are in the power of the tongue. You are Godly person seeking Godly wisdom. Focus on you and everything will have changed because you have..............When what's important to God becomes important to you then what's important to you becomes important to God!=) tRust God even when he feels far away because you know he is always there never to leave you nor forskae you....BE Blessed

Linda, Sweetie, one of the very FIRST things you need to learn as a Christian in Yahoo, is patience. You're gonna run into alot of these abusive comments, some people think they are being witty.  If they manage to get a rise out of you, they think they have somehow "proved" some sort of point.  I think they figure that Christians aren't supposed to get angry, or have hurt feelings, and when we react to such vicious comments, they can congratulate themselves that they have provoked us, and therefore, our God must not be real.\nWhen you really stop and think about it, they need our love and our pity much more than we need their approval.  Pray for them, but, don't let them push your buttons.\nGod bless you.

how about instead of possibly risking someones anger and turn off to the christian life, you stay quiet and just pray... trying to tell someone to be christian and bombarding them with information gets you nowhere but in a huge rant war, you should just pray... and God will take care of the rest.. and when a person wants to know things, answer their questions to the best of your ability.... don't push it on them, have faith in OGd that He will show them the way when the time is right.... all in GOd's time my friend in Christ, all in God's good time

it is said in Deuteronomy that when we keep still, we'll here God's voice. often it is the chaos and clamour of the outside world that we hear and distracts, really annoying. as you are asking, you're seeking something spiritual. maybe stopping at a moment, reflect and open your heart. inviet GOd to talk to you. i'm sure He wont ignore you. just listen. stay out of the noisy world. be in silence with God, He'll speak to you..

Do not ask God to be a witness to any lie that you swear to be true.  Do not say anthing that would show disrepect for God's name or God.

The same way you do anybody else.  Communicate.  Last I checked, God doesn't send a burning bush for every prayer concern.  He gave us a brain to study his word and a soul to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leanings...don't turn God into a cosmic fortune teller.

1- Learn about God and his mercy. \n\n2- Accept the fact that your actions are the reason why things are the way they are. Blaming someone or somebody does nothing for you. \n\n3-Your action to a situation will bring back to you a reaction. Ask yourself, Do I want a positive reaction or a negative reaction?\n\n4-Seek wisdom. Surround yourself with good and wise people. People that are successful in life.\n\nOnce you understand how impacting your actions are to others, to the world, you then become more responsible. And Responsibility is having hope and control.\n\nAnger is nothing more than lack of knowledge, hope and control.\n\nWe need to understand that there is not such thing as anger management.  We need Anger Solutions!

1) Lay off the Caps lock.\n2) Talk to someone.\n3) Praying is only considered a good thing if you put your heart into it. I could repeat the same words a million times for 4 hours or say it once with feeling.\n\nYou don't HAVE to pray.\n\nPlease, relax, mate...

try not to make it a forceful act, more persuasive to let him think there can be a God, ya know? well give him the gravity talk, cant see it but its there, and make him realize that there really is a God, jesus

ask god about it. ask him to take control of the situation.

I have found, most times, that patience just cannot be mustered. It is then that I ask God to overwhelm my petty irritations in the light of His Love. God will then adjust your point of view regarding the situation so that patience comes as a natural, or supernatural outflow.

when they start demanding you go by their rules or else.  Do this, do that, God says you should be this way.  If it is against the moral of the bible (do unto others) it is a cult.  When they start telling you who you can and can't see, what you can and can't do, all in the name of God and the bible.  Be true to yourself, be good always, God knows your heart.  Religion is a way to make you feel bad and do what the religion of choice says to do.  When you go to church on Sunday you are only proving to other 'people' your faith, when it is God you need to prove it too, no one else.\nEnd Rant : )
