Why do we never have time for God, but plenty to sit on here and do these?

Question

Sorry I didn't notice the category before I submitted this.

On your computer silly and answer questions!

I'm not judging anyone and it's funny that you said that there was a difference between religion and Christian. I always say that.

I think you are taking what I am asking out of context. I simply as just saying could we give more time to him. Yes we as Christian's know he is everywhere, I'm not talking about him giving "US time. It's me and you that I am talking about.
Remembering to include him in our everyday activities.


I knelt to pray but not for long,

I had too much to do.

I had to hurry and get to work

For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,

And jumped up off my knees.

My Christian duty was now done

My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time

To spread a word of cheer.

No time to speak of Christ to friends,

They'd laugh at me I'd fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,

That was my constant cry,

No time to give to souls

in need

But at last the time, the time to die.

I went before the Lord,

I came, I stood with downcast eyes.

For in his hands God held a book;

It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said

"Your name I cannot find.

I once was going to write it down...

"But never found the time"

Answer 1

Good question!
I think to take time for God one must silence self and subdue ego.
This seems a VERY hard task for many individuals these days to honor any authority but themselves.

Answer 2

I do have time for God, just not at the place of society's time and choosing, meaning Church. I pray on my own and I try my best to be a good person, kind towards others, charitable. I try not to hold grudges but I am human, so I know that I do.

Usually I am sneaking on here to do these, anyway, LOL. God, I always make time for.

If I had a family-children-I probably would go to Church in order to teach them religion properly.

Answer 3

I think my Wakan Tanka------- The Creator!!!

I find Time every Day!!!
Here's Why!!!

Each morning upon rising, and each evening before sleeping, gives thanks for the life within you and for all life, for the good things the Creator has given you and for the opportunity to grow a little more each day. Consider your thoughts and actions of the past day and seek for the courage and strength to be a better person. Seek for the things that will benefit others (everyone).

2. Respect. Respect means "To feel or show honor or esteem for someone or something; to consider the well being of, or to treat someone or something with deference or courtesy". Showing respect is a basic law of life.

3. Once a council has decided something in unity, respect demands that no one speak secretly against what has been decided. If the council has made an error, that error will become apparent to everyone in its own time.

4. Be truthful at all times, and under all conditions.

5. Always treat your guests with honor and consideration. Give of your best food, your best blankets, the best part of your house, and your best service to your guests.

6. The hurt of one is the hurt of all; the honor of one is the honor of all.

7. Receive strangers and outsiders with a loving heart and as members of the human family.

8. All the races and tribes in the world are like the different colored flowers of one meadow. All are beautiful. As children of the Creator they must all be respected.

9. To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, nation, and the world is one of the main purposes for which human beings have been created. Do not fill yourself with your own affairs and forget you’re most important talks. True happiness comes only to those who dedicate their lives to the service of others.

10. Observe moderation and balance in all things.

11. Know those things that lead to your well-being and those things that lead to your destruction.

12. Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms; in prayer, in dreams, in times of quiet solitude, and in the words and deeds of wise Elders and friends.





Wahoo!!!

Answer 4

Gee, all this time and I must have been mistaken. I thought he was everywhere, loved us "all" and had forgiveness of sins for believers.
....sorry I didn't know that he traveled only in your circles and forgave only those "YOU" JUDGE!
Are "you" playing GOD here?
Are you a "REAL" Christian.....or just too full of "RELIGION"
Yes....there "is" a difference!

Real Christians don't "do" what you are doing here.....only shallow HYPOCRITES!

Many people don't believe in God, but I believe everyone should spend time by themselves in silence sometimes, just reflecting or doing nothing. I do believe in God, but this site provides something that He doesn't: immediate answers.
