No. God is a prick and its pointless to have faith.

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints.
Other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life
When I was suffering from anguish, sorrow, or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord, "You promised me, Lord,
That if I followed you, you would walk with me always.
But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
There have only been one set of prints in the sand.
Why, When I have needed you most, you have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints
Is when I carried you."
I said "You carried me, what the **** are you talking about. My cat died, my daughter got killed in a car accident. Instead of carrying me you could have stopped these bad things from happening."
The Lord replied "You stupid human, don't question the lord. I **** with you and then I carry you. Its just something I enjoy doing. If you don't like it then you can just go to hell."
Then I replied "Ok God, I am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I just don't understand why you make everybody suffer so much just so you can carry them on the beach. But that's cool. That's your thing . God God wait wait come back please come back God i need you I think I have cancer."
I guess that explains it

God has prove to me time and time again that I can. When I was told I would not have children I praised him anyway, and God blessed me with two children, when I was on the verge of losing my apartment and used car I praised him through it, and God blessed me with a house and a brand new car, when I was told my mom had HIV I held on to my faith, and she now has full blown AIDS but I am praising him anyway,and I have gained the strength to take care of her in her last days when I grew up feeling in my heart that I would die without her, and when I almost died from a 750 glucose level I praised God anyway, now I don't have high blood sugars anymore and diabetes does not effect my life!
I have been given trials and tribulations that have given me the strength to praise God in-spite of I get joy every time I think about what God has done for me, I get joy when I think about God period just for being who he is!! Glory to God I thank him and praise him for endurance and peace through all things!!! I should have been dead but I am still here!!!

Yes it is and I have done so many times.
It is much harder through those times, however,
I feel the reward is greater than it was when I did not
do so. Holding steadfast in faith through the hard times
is rewarding in the end. It is a test that sometimes I've passed
and sometimes I failed... just as Job battled with it, but ultimately stayed faithful. Although I cannot say I've had as rough a time as Job did :) for that I am also grateful.

Six years ago I sat with my 40 year old brother as he was dying. We never got along and he was not happy I was there. Unfortunately there was no one else to care for him. He suffered (as did I watching him die) for four months. At the end of those four months he told me he wished he had gotten to know me sooner.
In his death God blessed us.
Three years ago I took care of my step father as he lay dying. His children had disowned him. He was not a kind man. During his illness he was able to come to terms with the wrongs he had done to his family and I got to know why he harboured such anger in the first place. God allowed me to help him reconnect with his kids.
In his death God blessed us.
Now I am taking care of my mother as she lays ready to die at any moment. Although I don't feel it just yet I know that God is right here. And in the end...
he will bless us.

Yes, I think it is, but one never knows until that day is upon you. I think it is a good thing to do, praise God in all situations.

Yes, in fact I think sometimes I have greater faith, and rely on God more in hard times then when things are going my way.

Praise god from whom all disease doth flow;
Praise him all creatures here below;
Praise him above ye heavenly host;
Praise father, son, and holy ghost;
Or go to hell.

It is now. 3 months ago and I wouldn't have been able to say that.
