I want honest answers to this hypothetical question. I don't want "gosh, I don't know, it would've been so tough" or "everybody NEEDS God and this is why: _____".
REALLY, how would you have handled your big problems without God?

Emma, I'm not giving you a thumbs-down. No worries.

Honestly, I would have killed myself. I've always had God and I'm LDS, but it was God who I turned to in my darkest hour. He must of given me strength because if I didn't have him, I'd probably be dead right now.

Life has all kinds of ways of being difficult. I shouldn't be here today. Well, here I am. What keeps me going is I have good friends and family. You weren't meant to go through life alone. And you are not. If you get a chance to read the Bible, do. It's not some fairy tale in the sky. People had good times and bad times. Not any different than today. Just a different time period. There's poetry, wise advice, people who made good and bad choices. Just life stuff. Learning that you are not in control helps me. Knowing I did nothing wrong to have bad things happen helps. I've had bad health all my life. I have good days and bad days. Don't we all? But you are never alone. You aren't either. That's the good news. And there are people who care. You just need to reach out. We were never to go through life alone. I think playing the blame or guilt game get's no one anywhere. And sometimes we all have plenty to learn. That's what life is about. I have learned a whole lot about who is in control. You may want to control your life but there are times when control is the last thing you have. My faith is in Jesus. My hope comes from Jesus. I made a choice along time ago to follow what I believe. Being true to myself. Honesty is the best policy. I have never regreted my decision. I'd be dead with no reason to live otherwise. I'll be praying for you and Bless you in your adventure. Life is nothing short but an adventure.

I think I would handle them to a great extent how I handle them now. I would most likely write more than I do. During difficult times, I tend to meditate a lot more than pray. I'm sure I'll get thumbs down for that, but the meditation really helps. Being calm and centered helps me a lot more than anything else.

If I were not a Christian, I probably would have held onto bitterness, gotten discouraged quicker than I do now, given up on some things and people in my life, all on the assumption for your question that I went through those things without God in my life.

there have been so many difficult times, that it is hard to chose one.
when my 21 year old daughter was killed in a car wreak, I would have spend years in depression.
when my truck broke down while moving to Oregon, I would of been destitute if God had not sent strangers to help me.
they brought sodas, bottled water, sandwiches. and bought the parts to fix my truck, and then installed the parts,
just to name a few pf the things that God has brought me through.

Um................. sometimes you forget about god when your in a big problem, is that what u mean? i probably would have calmed myself down, rethink what needs to happen, and act it out- or actually handle the problem. When i am in a real bad situation i don't call on god for help i just do what i need to do to make everyone happy including myself

I do something about my problems. I did before I was a Christian and I do now, the only diffrence now is that I pray to God for strength and support.

I don't think I could have handled any of my situations by myself, God gave me strength when I needed it. There were many times when I would have given in and would have taken my life if it wasn't for my Father standing by my side and lifting me up when I couldn't stand on my own two feet.

Cancer.... Radiation... Unemployment.... Financial Devasation... and Much More!
IN All these TRIALS.... GOD... is aways been Faithfull....!
(Hebrews 13:5) For HE has said.... I will Never Leave You Nor Forsake YOU!
AND...
(Job 2:9) Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
(Job 2:10) But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
Thanks, RR

There is no way I could have. God was the only thing that got me through. I turned to Him sometimes minute by minute to get by.
