is God around when you need him?

Question

I sometimes wonder if I'm not making it all up.

Answer 1

Yes hes always around.

Answer 2

God is always around, however, this does not mean that one must constantly pray that God will work everything out through divine intervention (lighting bolts, guardian angels, etc.)

God gave man responsibility and creativity with the intention that man should use them to solve the problems he could, and pray about the problems he can't.

Answer 3

God is spirit. Spirit is your true identity. since you consider your identity to be the physical body you are not aware of the fact that your true identity is the spirit which every religion and scriptures mention that God is within one's self. Therefore the true self is god not your physical self.
The self that is spirit is the eternal identity which is the substance and witness of the human experience including the universe.
Know the truth of the true Self, and that truth will set you free from the illusory experience of duality. And you become one with the formless eternal true identity which is spirit or Atman.

Answer 4

..always...don't even bother doubting Him. It's not worth it.



I know what you mean about having doubts. But think about this whenever you have those days: OK, look at all the signs and side effects of Him. The signs are there: healing done IN HIS VERY OWN NAME, real demons and evil spirits which come out of people when people cast them out (in His name) and of course the ever-classic, beautiful, amazing speech (I'm taking about tongues) that comes out of your very own mouth! After meeting Jesus, that is, after people ask Him to fill them. It's fascinating! ...And of course the side effects are clear also: after someone turns to Christ, they people almost new people! It's like you can't recognize some of them anymore! They always change their old ways right before you, and the interesting thing is that they do with such ease, like no psychologist can achieve with they're client.

Answer 5

Hinduism can give some mystical answers .

Who is God? Where is God? How can I come to know God?"

God has no names, but all names are the names of God. Whether you call Him this or that, He remains Who He is. But in our tradition we call God by the loving name Siva, which is only one of His 1,008 traditional names. Supreme God Siva is both within us and outside of us. Even desire, the fulfillment of desire, the joy, the pain, the sorrow, birth and death -- this is all Siva, nothing but Siva. This is hard to believe for the unenlightened individual who cannot see how a good, kind and loving God could create pain and sorrow. Actually, we find that Siva did not -- not in the sense that is commonly thought. God gave the law of karma, decreeing that each energy sent into motion returns with equal force.

In looking closely at this natural law, we can see that we create our own joy, our own pain, our own sorrow and our own release from sorrow. Yet we could not even do this except for the power and existence of our loving Lord. It takes much meditation to find God Siva in all things, through all things. In this striving -- as in perfecting any art or science -- regular daily disciplines must be faithfully adhered to.

Siva is the immanent personal Lord, and He is transcendent Reality. Siva is a God of love, boundless love. He loves each and every one. Each soul is created by Him and guided by Him through life. God Siva is everywhere. There is no place where Siva is not. He is in you. He is in this temple. He is in the trees. He is in the sky, in the clouds, in the planets. He is the galaxies swirling in space and the space between galaxies, too. He is the universe. His cosmic dance of creation, preservation and dissolution is happening this very moment in every atom of the universe. God Siva is, and is in all things. He permeates all things. He is immanent, with a beautiful form, a human-like form which can actually be seen and has been seen by many people in visions. He is also transcendent, beyond time, cause and space.

That is almost too much for the mind to comprehend, isn't it? Therefore, we have to meditate on these things. God Siva is so close to us. Where does He live? In the Third World. And in this form He can talk and think and love and receive our prayers and guide our karma. He commands vast numbers of devas who go forth to do His will all over the world, all over the galaxy, throughout the universe. These are matters told to us by the rishis; and we have discovered them in our own meditations. So always worship this great God. Never fear Him. He is the Self of your self. He is closer than your own breath. His nature is love, and if you worship Him with devotion you will know love and be loving toward others. Devotees of God Siva love everyone.

This is how God Siva can be seen everywhere and in everyone. He is there as the Soul of each soul. You can open your inner eye and see Him in others, see Him in the world as the world. Little by little, discipline yourself to meditate at the same time each day. Meditate, discover the silent center of yourself, then go deep within, to the core of your real Being. Slowly the purity comes. Slowly the awakening comes.

Answer 6

You shouldnt be stressed about whether God is real ot not. The entire evolution fairy tale is based on lies. The geologic column doesnt exist and its the basis for the evolutionary religion and their teaching. So there must be a creator. Gods real hes given us a book to guide us. BIBLE :) :) :)

Answer 7

Doubting one's faith is normal, just as doubting one's lack of faith is normal. We are questioning humans, with weaknesses and occasional strengths. God is always around but not always obvious - sometimes his presence isn't felt until we have gone through a period of trouble and trial. We find him in retrospect.
You are not alone - God is here, now. Open your eyes and see. Open your ears and listen. Stretch out your arms and feel.

Answer 8

I feel him when the warmth of the sun touches my face.When I walk in the woods and see the beauty of the life around me.I feel her when her light shines down on me in the darkness of the night and in the wonder of her beautiful glow.The creator is in me and everywhere I may go..


(Many blessings)

Answer 9

He is always around me. He may not do what I want. But then HE is God and not ME.

Answer 10

Keep falling over the old man
