How do you give to GOD that which you do not like?

Question

people, situations, etc.

obviously, some people missed the whole jest of the question. thanks to those who understood the underlining meaning.

Answer 1

oh he can take a few people away... trust me...
I won't mind one bit! LOL

Answer 2

You pray that He help you with an earnest heart seeking His heart on the matter. And as when talking to a person you wait and listen. Be keen to the spirit. It may be a few minutes it may be a few days, it could even be a few years. My pastor prayed for her husband for years. A man who didnt even want to hear anything about God is now a wonderful pastor and God fearing(revering) man. You allow God to give you peace over the situation or about the people, etc. All things work to the good those who seek the Lord. To seek means to earnestly press for a relationship with Him. Not just here a sunday there a wednesday. You must fellowship His body. I pray you have a church nearby that teaches the truth of the Word and not just mans opinion of the word. Realize that when God died on the Cross He was taking not only the transgressions committed against Him, but the sins committed against you and saying blame me. I am here to take the blame for you and for them. You can then forgive people, that is to release them. If you havent forgiven them then You are holding on to them and not allowing God to have them. Blame the one on the cross. Some say lay it at the cross. Nothing is unforgivable because Jesus forgave all and took their place. To the Father and to YOU. You must forgive, but remember to be wise. Trust must be earned back. They may not like this. But the word says you would be a fool not to prove them
1 Thessalonians 5:20-22 (King James Version)
21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22Abstain from all appearance of evil.

There was a little song that helps me sometimes and I sing it when in need.

I cast all my cares upon you
I lay all of my burdens down at your feet
And anytime I dont know whaat to do
I will cast all my cares upon you

Answer 3

Do you mean when you have to deal with people/situations that you prefer would go away? If so, it's a matter of prayer, acceptance of what you can't change, and then submission to it. It helps me to know that God is trying to teach me something with the unpleasantries that come my way (if nothing else, tolerance). I used to keep getting this one personality type in my life that I really couldn't stand. Then God showed me that I was to learn something here. So, I began to ask God to help me be grateful and graceful to those I couldn't stand to be around. He began to work on me, imagine that! Eventually, I came to benefit from those relationships in ways I never imagined. Now, I hardly ever run into those types and only briefly.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that God is not so much concerned with our situations as He is with how we handle them. It should always be a matter of prayer and knowing that God will reveal His plans for you if you are willing to follow.

Answer 4

I think you just need to lay all your burdens at the cross and leave them there. Don't take back the situation. You do this by prayer and you will most likely get some stupid answers from people but prayer does work.

Answer 5

As far as situations go, I thinking "giving it to God" means "letting it go, forgiving." Don't forget that some things are unforgivable.
As far as people go, let them find their own path to God, unless you feel you should be an evangelist or missionary. But you cannot witness to people who won't listen to your testimony, except by your actions. And you should not witness to people who have already found a righteous (but maybe different than yours) path to God.

Answer 6

when you giving to God ,1st your praying over that situation. you dont take any matters in your own hand. you have trust that God will take care of it. for instances you dont like your job, co workers are hard to get along with, your pay sucks. instead of feeding in the strife, you pray that God will get you out of there, keep you from the nonsense that goes on and that you will get better paying job. try to keep good attitude, to be good employee till he gives you better. be persistant in your prayer, believing he will do it and he will. thats giving it to him! praying then believing he will and you not do in your flesh!

Answer 7

Start with asking Him to help you forgive people who have wronged you (even if they never ask for forgiveness). As far as situations, don't let a root of bitterness take root in your heart.

Answer 8

When I "give it to God," I do not absolve myself from responsibility of my "sin" in not loving the people or whatever.

God tells us that with our "testing" (temptations) He will provide the means of overcoming them... and that He will never allow us to be tempted BEYOND our ability to handle it.

If I find myself hating someone SO much that I cannot imagine myself ever loving that person, I pray, "Lord, forgive me for not loving this person as You commanded us to do. But I know that You love this person, so I ask that You love him/her FOR me. Then, please help me to become the loving person You want me to be, and help show me the way to love this person.... Thank you... amen."

Answer 9

What makes you think She wants anything? Second, be selfish and learn who you are. Believe me trying to fit other peoples ideas of who and what you are is not the way to go. Question everything, accept only that which you know to be true and don't follow anybody because they said so. God wants for us, what we want for ourselves (so be careful of limiting yourself). Be fearless and damned the consequences as long as you are true and kind nothing else matters.

Answer 10

it sounds easier than it actually is. I think the best way to start is with: prayer. God is our "Dad", our Father, our Friend, our Companion, and He wants to hear from you everyday. Ask Him for the answers, not us. We are not capable of answering. He is waiting to hear you call to Him and He loves to bless you. Peace.

Answer 11

I wouldn't give anything that I, myself didn't like. That makes NO sense to me at all. I give God/Goddess the very BEST that I have to offer. God/Goddess are my friends and protectors and I prefer to treat them as WELL as possible not the other way around.
