Something to Inspire You! by Timmay on 21 Feb, 2009 21:57

I know there are some in here who do not like to read long post and all that stuff, but I have something for you. Please take 9 minutes out of your time and watch/listen to what this following video has to say for you. In this world we are living in today, it is frightening. There are many many problems we are all facing, whether it be personal, our careers, financial, etc. We all deal with fear. Some of us handle it differently, some of us can not handle it at all. I found this video to really have a message in it to realize something. If this video helps just one person in here or someone outside of this forum, I would be happy. Please take just 9 minutes to watch this. The first part is a little comedy skit, but ends with a touching ending...please...

lol Tim you can't be serious.
I watched the first 3 minutes and man what a waste of my precious time.
I stopped watching it after the first 3 and a half minutes. Tell me from what minute and on I should watch it so I could skip to the good part.

Well ok, I hope whoever reads this message of mine has watched the video (the touching story starts at 6:10)
Don't read this message of mine if you haven't because it contains spoilers!!! lol
Ok, I believe and think like that lady does in that video. The only problem I have is that this is not a religious web-site so for fear of mentionning something offensive to anyone who is atheist, or some weirdo posting unnecessary comments I have chosen to keep quiet.
There is a kind of comfort that God only allows His faithful slaves to attain. You see many studies show that believing that you are not alone, believing that there is an Almighty God who hears you, who sees the tears coming down your cheeks, who is there watching you so that you don't fall, increases happiness and peace enormously!!! That's why I recommended Ghost to pray to God when he talked about his unhappiness with his hairline.
God creates some difficult situations for all of us, but when a slave of His begs Him for mercy & help, that difficult situation becomes much easier to handle.
How often do you hear religious people being "depressed"?
Furthermore, if your faith is even stronger so that you believe EVERYTHING God does only benefits you, and is meant to teach you something you wouldn't realize had you not gone through that difficult time, then pain is bearable.
Seriously, religion can cure depression much better than psychologists,etc. -

thats kind of taking adavantage of god wouldnt you say? plus......ive tried many times and it doesnt work. but i dont blame him. why would he help out one selfish person when theres millions of other people suffering from hairloss? im no more special than the next person. thats why my previous beggin and pleading about my hair didnt work.
take it as you may, and i dont mean to offend anyone by this but, i honestly believe god takes care of the big prayers, but he kinda abandons or ignores the little pity prayers no matter how important they are to the person. (please no religious attacks. thats just my opinion)
im not even talking about hair here or w/e. im talking about life in general. basically me and god arent on good terms ever sense i found out i have ulcerative colitis. i hold no grudge though, i just dont turn to him for help anymore. i deal with my problems myself no matter how hard they are. -

Taking advantage of God? No way. That's not how God sees it. God loves it when we ask Him for help. At least that's what my religion Islam teaches. God created difficult situations so that people turn to Him.
Ghost, have you ever considered that just maybe (just maybe) you don't really know what makes you really happy?
If God creates some situation for you, is it possible that that situation is what helps you grow stronger?
It's a fact that most people don't know what is really good for them, and what really helps them gain strength.
If you feel that God is not responding to your little prayers then consider this:
(1) what you asked for is not good for you, God knows it but you don't. I'm sorry I know many people hate this part, but it's true. You might for example ask to be maried to Keira Knigthley but God thinks that's a terrible idea, and that there are many women out there better than her in character and in beauty.
(2) God has responded to your prayers but you don't realize it. This part is a bit tricky. You might ask for item x but through that God grants you another item y. The trick here is to realize that item y was only granted to you because of your prayer for item x.
Cheers bro.

and we shouldnt pray demanding prayer. All too often , things happen. Such as, maybe you were injured in a car accident, someone prays that you will be ok. Well you do survive but, have lost a leg. So are you going to be mad that you lost that leg or glad that you didnt lose your life? Think about it. He answers small prayers, no prayer is too small or too big. Also, if we are praying for IMMEDIATE PRAYER, doesnt always happen right away. Take my wife for example. She has been praying for her sister, to realize the life she was living was not working for her. Kris prayed faithfully all the time...for 2 YEARS! He sister came up to her one day and said she had a dream that her life was not going well, when she woke up, she realized that her LIFE REALLY WASNT GOING WELL...so she changed. 2 years of prayer and Kris never once doubted HE wasnt not listening...he listens, he just doesnt give us what we want, when we want it.

I'm not getting into this on here, because it's not an appropriate venue. However, I will say that God does not create difficult situations. We create our own. Mankind was perfect until WE decided to do things our way.
Secondly, personally I pray "Your will be done".
That's it, I'm done in this public thread. If you want to talk to me about this topic, please fee free to PM me.
