Does your belief in God fluctuate with your mood?

Question

Are you less likely to practice your religion if you are angry, and more likely when joyful?

Just curious.

Answer 1

Muslim's praying practice is not easy to fullfill unless we are seriously and faithfully contented.
I am on and off doing it.
I can almost say that I am a good muslim in Ramadhan (fasting month) .
Otherwise seems that I always find excuses to skip my pray.
It's not run by the mood, it's more run by activities and by thought that my God can Forgive me and Wait for me and Understand me while people cant. People are agitating if we are late and impatient.( it's a sign of not a good muslim).
But I "talk" with my God a lot, never skip a day or even half day.
I thank as soon as I wake up, I say Bismillah before I drink, I put food to my mouth, get under the shower, get to bed, before asleep; Ya Allah, Masya Allah, Astaghfirullah or Alhamdulillah are easily spoken. ( It's way than enough for a good muslim)

I am strongly believe that God Knows everything, the spoken and unspoken words, I cant fool my God; I believe he knows every little things such how many grains of sand in this whole words, how many pcs of hairs everybody have, He Just simply KNOWS, everything.
That's what make me sometimes sooo relax and lazy though. "Every thing is taken care anyway". I should not think that way.

Ramadhan is a good month, it's a bit hard at the beginning but at the end I always wish that all months is Ramadhan. It feels soo purifying.

Thanks for yr question VCHB. ( how many people have you hugged today?)

Answer 2

My mood may change, but my God never does, so no my mood does not change my belief, or make me practice my religion less or more.WHY? Because I have a relationship not a religion. God proves Himself faithful to me each and every day, no matter what my mood is. However when things are not going well , I can truly still be joyful because of God- not because of my belief.

Answer 4

lol! no, my belief in humanity fluctuates with my mood. The times my belief in God wavers is more likely in times when I feel in despair. I may stop practicing my religion, but my faith is an integral part of my life and spirit.

Answer 5

that's an awesome question. no one has ever asked that of me before. honestly, god exists there is no wavering in my belief about that. how ever i can only relate him more closely if i humanize him in my mind in order to relate to him.

so because of that i have my up's and down's with him. when things are not going well in my life or i'm just sick and angry from hearing on the new's one more child being beat to death from mom and dad or molested and other stories like that i get to my fill of what the heck. why does he allow for such of things.

but as i live and grow this changes. i still do have my days.

Answer 6

Nope. Happy or sad, crying or laughing, I always believe in God and stick to my religion. In 2005, though, I had depression and I kinda got away from my faith. However, I found strength again in my prayers, when I was feeling really down. I believe in spirits and I believe that they were pushing me to feel that way and far from my beliefs. It was hard, but I won in the end, with my most enlightened spirits' help.

Peace!

Answer 7

great element and one that is misunderstand the two by way of the cults and by way of Christians. I pray to God, provide him my existence, and bam, i'm saved! however the Bible teaches a various tale. people who do no longer practice the fruit of substitute and don't persist of their walk with God have been by no skill fairly believers. And the place God won't be at artwork, no fruit will practice. So by way of fact God is at artwork in us, my coronary heart is replaced and due to God's love, I in turn love others and practice the fruit of regeneration. I intently worded that so God gets the credit, my works at the instant are not the element. Works are the fruit of regeneration, no longer the reason. while they become the reason, I win the prize of conceitedness or melancholy. conceited that i'm better than others (seem at me and what solid selections i'm making) or melancholy that I basically look to get it actual. Humility and faith, the type the place our movements of course align with our deep and truthful perception is the mark of a real Christian.

Answer 8

My belief never changes, but everyone is subject to different moods, depending on their circumstances. I do my best to be an example of a person who is a follower of Christ, regardless of my mood.

Answer 9

I'm more likely to bother GOD for extra help when angry, and more thankful for the blessings of being happy. So, Yes, I guess I so fluctuate.

Peace.

Answer 10

"Believe in God, don't pretend to believe in God, it's the pretending that gets man into so much trouble."
This is the creed that I live by.
Faith must transcend ones practice or non practice.
Practice is just that, practice.
One must live it, eat it, inhale it, drink it!

If this is imbibed into mans life, practicing disappears.
It is no longer practice, it becomes application.

Moods as we humans call them, are nothing more than the waves washing up onto the shore, dancing in delight!

"Peace be always with you."
