Is it normal to wonder if God exists.?

Question

I have always believe in God and the addage that everything in life happens for a reason and that it is all apart of a plan. I am beginning to wonder if God really exists because one thing is missing and that is someone to share my life with. I always thought that if I start over new (in a new city and job) that maybe that person would show up. It has been two and a half months and I stilll have not found anyone. This makes me think that it is God's plan to punish me or there is not a God. I want to believe that I am a bad person (because I want to believe in God), but I also then I think that God is supposed to be merciful (and in my case it would be cruel to make me stay alone) so then I would want to believe that there is not a GOd. How am I supposed to believe in God when I have been hurting with this same prediciment so long and he has not helped me (and things only get worse)

Answer 1

Well, you know what they say...God helps those who help themselves. Translation: You're on your own.

Answer 2

Well, there could be many things going on. It could be that you will need to wait for more than a few months to find someone that is more than just a guy to be with until "mister-right" shows up.

It could be that you just aren't ready for a serious relationship and God's just waiting for you to be ready.

It could be that you are in a new place, but in the same old-type places where you used to look for relationships and God's just saying "you are looking in the wrong place, no one here is good for you".

Or maybe its just your sub-conscious keeping men away because even though you say you've changed, you don't believe that you have, and don't believe that you deserve a relationship with a really good person.

Either way, I'd say if your belief in God is swayed because of a wait of a few months for a relationship, I'd say forget the relationship for now and work on your spiritual life. It is perfectly normal to wonder about whether God exists or not. Look at what you believe and why you believe it. And be honest about it. Maybe your searching hasn't quite ended yet?

Answer 3

It is normal to be in doubt, dear lady.

Why not get your relationship with God established and let Him know how you feel? At least you'll both be talking. And instead of wondering when or how, just be quiet and listen to what He has to say.

I felt that way in college once and I asked Him. He gave me the answer that I needed. I'm still single but I'm not bugged about finding a life partner anymore.

If you like why not try "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" by Joshua Harris? He wrote about his own experiences as a single person and how God felt about relationships and six months after he decided he'd stay single for the right person, the right person came along and he got to write "Boy Meets Girl".

God loves you and will bring the right person at the right time. If you have trouble believing that, it's okay. Just find out why. God bless.

Answer 4

certain by frequent human beings, 40 to be accurate. sixty six books written over a era of about 2000 years. except the Bible???? So, you elect us to instruct it with out utilizing truth? which will be confusing, because that's going to take numerous study on your 1/2. yet right here is going. study each of the excellent issues about tremendous pyramid of Giza (Giza potential Border) and then look at Isaiah 19:19. We nonetheless to this present day do not comprehend how they knew all that they knew to construct it. The for sure knew pi, e, precisely what percentage days there are (to the minute) in a 365 days, they knew actual north more suitable properly than present day compasses, they knew issues we did not even comprehend till only a century in the past. a lot more suitable. also you are able to examine some books on Bible Prophecy, yet then you'll might want to study historic previous, and watch the records because the prophecy unfolds ideal earlier your eyes. there is numerous data, yet to procure to locate it.

Answer 5

It's perfectly normal to wonder if God exists. Be patient. God never promised us companionship or a happy life. He promised to be with us.

Isaiah 41:10: "So do not fear; for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Just wait...
(Isaiah 40:28-31)
28 Have you never heard?
Have you never understood?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
29 He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
30 Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.

Answer 6

Maybe he is trying to refine you before you meet a prince. Are you looking to have a Godly man? That's what he would want you to do. Maybe its sometimes better to be alone for a little while so you find yourself, him and get a closer relationship with your maker so your marriage doesn't end up in divorce. Maybe he is saving you from some terrible experience .. . .. . . . you will have . . . . . . . b/c you are married to a horrible abusive husband you might have chosen out of desperation not to be alone.

Pray that is my advice. Pray HIS will be done in your life and if HIS will says no husband right now or ever . . . . .accept it and walk with him, then when your ready he will give you the desires of your heart.

Sometimes when you ask for something the answer is NO. His timing is perfect, he knows what you desire so maybe his answer right now to your prayer is not right now.

God Bless

Answer 7

So, you basically believe in a God that makes things come true for you. Cool.

Now let's assume that today your Mr. Right would walk into your room, that would mean to you that your God is all of a sudden real?

Today 30,000 children on this planet died of starvation and Aids. And you wonder why some god doesn't give you a boyfriend.

That's truly sad. It really is.

Answer 8

1.god cares about the planets and the stars

2.god doesn't care about human bacteria[us]

3.angels and spirit guides take care of us not the big cheeses head in the sky.

4.god gave you a brain.use it,to look up self help books to --know who you are.you cant find who Mr right if you don't even know who you are.!!!

5.when you move you take your baggage with you.!you were the same you you were back there. so why do you think things should be different.

learn who you are and clean up your own life, then you will trip over ,Mr right.

dont blame poor god, for your inability to clean up your own life.

Answer 9

You know, it seems like you are attempting to project your will on God's will. It's a common mistake.

Try this; tell yourself to shut up. Really, try it. I'm not trying to insult you. just tell yourself to shut up when you want God to do something of else you wont believe in Him. And then tell God, in your most determined way, that you don't care if there is someone for you or not, you are turning your will over to Him. You will have someone else IF God sends you someone else. Period. Until then, you are satisfied with Him even to the end of your days.

Then you will be trusting Him, and then you will know peace.

Answer 10

Sounds like you're getting impatient. When you finally find that person you are looking for, will your relationship with God be restored? Maybe it's God you will be looking for when your certain person will appear instead of the other way around. Good luck and many blessings to you.

Answer 11

It is easy to blame God when we look at only ourselves and not the entire picture. We become so wrapped up in our own self pity that we begin to blame God for everything.
Why not do yourself a favor.
Find out what the whole picture is and then decide if God is singling you out for discipline.
