How often do you "give your problems to God" and then take it (the trust) back?

Question

As much as I try to be faithful, I find myself falling-back into worrying, etc... when I already said that I would GIVE MY CONCERNS TO GOD!

p.s. any atheists responses will be ignored. thanks anyway; but, NO THANKS!!

Answer 1

It's normal to do this whatever your faith or however strong you believe it to be.
When you think or feel this way, tell him you've had enough for awhile and you're going to take a break from him too. (He knows and has a sense of humor too.)
Keep giving it all to him; it won't hurt.
You can do so much in life and you won't always get the help you want from God or others.
That's how I know this isn't heaven, but rather earth where it sometimes will feel like hell.
Do what you can, take your time and try hard not to worry about the things you can't change.
You'll be fine.

Answer 2

Maybe a God box would help. Write down what you are giving to God and put the piece of paper in the box. Then forget about it. There are some things that you have to deal with like paying your bills, and others that no amount of worrying on your part will fix. Those are the things I try to give to God, so that I am not spinning my wheels worrying, but can use my energies productively.

Answer 3

Your characterization of "representing the final public without suppressing the minority" isn't precisely what the form says. you spot, we are actually not easily a democratic us of a interior the sense of submitting all subject concerns to majority vote. we are a republic, a representative democracy, and we live decrease than the rule of the form as amended. the 1st substitute prohibits the employer of any faith. meaning that a wall of separation has been geared up between government and faith. The slogan on the money and the "decrease than God" (not the "one us of a") interior the pledge are theist, or possibly deist. meaning they don't set up a particular faith, yet a widely used one that announces God is actual. Even that plenty is a contravention of the 1st substitute, as has been desperate in different contexts by ability of the final courtroom. i don't make a great concern of those little subject concerns, yet I do fall silent while pledging allegiance and that they get to the "decrease than God" section. i think my pledge does not be straightforward if I blanketed that word, yet i don't merchandise to the human beings announcing it. I DO merchandise to little ones being compelled to recite it without being stated that they are able to leave that section out in the event that they choose. on the money, i basically won't be able to be afflicted hassling approximately it, yet in reality, it won't be there.

Answer 4

I do that, too. I think it's the old grip that the world used to have on us, dragging behind us, telling us we can't trust anything that's not part of the world. . . It's a powerful influence and it takes some doing to throw it off. But as time goes on, and I see more and more proof of God's mercy and faithfulness, I have less problem with worry or doubt. I laugh at some of the things I used to worry about, that God took care of for me. What a glorious thing it is to put one's trust in Him and *know* that He'll see you through!
God bless you.

Answer 5

The stronger you grow in Christ the easier it will be to give up your urge to pull back the problems you have given him. This is a problem for the majority of young Christians.

Two things to remember;

Matthew 11:30 (New International Version)
"For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

1 Peter 5:7 (New International Version)
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you

So when you start worrying about something you gave to God, realize that is another problem to give to God.

Sounds easier than it sometimes is, but the more you grow in faith, the more you will trust Him to take care of your problems, and I leave you with this passage;

Matthew 6:25-34
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Answer 6

I think its quite normal to feel like that. Thats what makes us human. I think a human should try there best in every situation and leave the result to God. The fun is in the effort but trusting God without hard work and perseverance is foolish. Prophet Muhammed once said "Have faith in God but do tie your Camal"

Answer 7

I always give my problems to God. 1 Peter 5:7 says to "cast all of your worries to Him for He cares for you. I live my life that way. I have no worries at all and have complete trust that God will see me thru what ever situation I may be in.

Answer 8

I do the same thing, honey. Especially right now since I've been depressed. My faith is suffering, but I look forward to the day when it is restored and I can go back to praising God for His wonderful work in my life.

Answer 9

I give my problems to God and than; sometimes I worry when people bring them back up. I try not to think about my problems and eventually what I prayed for just up and comes when I least expect it.

Answer 10

ha ha ha
we all do that
I struggle because I want to have faith
yet
"be responsible"
And there is the scripture "faith without works is dead"
So I worry if I do nothing my faith is dead.
If I do too much I have no faith.

Yes I do understand!! :)
