Where has my God been this year?? 2012 have been a ‘bad luck’ year for me this year. Where has God been for me?? So many things have gone wrong, I feel I’ve been cursed. Maybe it’s because I refuse to abide by my mother’s rules that I’m being punished?? I had a car accident, my appendix burst, marriage ended and no luck in the dating game afterwards. Then I buy a motorbike and have a minor motorbike accident with a car. The driver now wants me to pay up. I had asked God to keep me safe on the motorbike but then this minor accident happened. Fortunately I have insurance for that but I’m currently in financial stress and trying to get ahead in life by doing a course. It’s like someone wants me to fail and I wonder where God is?? Or am I self-sabotaging?? Why does he allow good people to suffer so much as I have this year?? I hope 2013 will be a far happier year!! Can someone provide some comforting words as my belief in God is being tested this year.

My friend, God hasn't left you. Why do you think you weren't more injured in that motorbike accident? Why do you think you didn't die when your appendix burst? Many people do, you know. Why do you think you didn't get badly injured in the car wreck?

God doesn't "allow" good people to suffer. All this stuff is caused by man. God doesn't do it, or "allow" it. And if you think that God has moved away from you, do you think that maybe YOU have moved away from God? That's usually the case. I've found that when my troubles are the worst - it's ME that has stopped talking to God. I don't really pray -- I have "conversations" with God. I feel they're better than prayers because those are just words that I've learned. Conversations come from my heart -- prayers are just a bunch of words that I had to memorize. So try talking to God daily and just see if your life doesn't improve. I'll BET you that it does! Mine did when I began my daily talks.

God bless you and please take care. Hugs, Lee

I don't need you to be judgemental and make an assumption that I have walked away from God explaining my problems in this year!! For your information I pray to God everyday for guidance and strength. I didn't enter this comment to have someone judge me saying maybe i have walked away from God. Please don't reply to me again as I only want to hear from people on here that are willing to support me in a time of great trial, not judge me!!

I can certainly relate. I have had crisis after crisis--or health problem after health problem--and it never seems to end. It got old years ago. Since it says above this thread no religious talk is allowed... well, I'm not religious anyway. But. I wish I had some comforting words. I really don't understand any of it. And I don't think it's all part of a grand plan necessarily.

The only tiny comfort I've received is that I've dealt with some uncommon health issues, and coming here I know others have as well. A lot of ppl here have had nonstop stuff like you and I, and are looking to see they're not alone. I'm glad sometimes I can provide that for people.

This probably didn't help you at all. I'm sorry you've had such an awful year. I do sympathize, and wish us both 2013 to just be like a breeze.

In my religion, there is no such thing as "luck"

Everything that is going to happen to you will have happened one way or another.
You had your bike accident, you think God didn't plan for that to happen, or that he didn't know?

If so, than what Kind of a God is that? Letting things happen by random. There is too much scientific proof that God doesn't let things happen " by chance"

Did you know that if the atmosphere was a few meteres thicker, meteorites would burn into the earth and life wouldn't have existed?
If the sun gave an eigth of the amount of rays that it did now, we would have frozen?
If the earths crust were just a little bit thicker(few meters only) it would suck up all the oxygen and we wouldn't exist

the world is constantly expanding at a set speed, if this speed was 10 to the power of 10 to the power of 10 of a fraction of a second different, the uni erse would have collapsed back on itself and never existed.

God does not allow anything to happen without his will and knowledge, and he has planned it to happen as such.

Verily, mankind is in loss
except those who believe(in one true god) and do righteous deeds and hold steadfast to the truth and hold steadfast to patience.
