As a Christian, what has been your lowest time?

Question

Since becoming a Christian, what has been your lowest time ever? Have there been any times when you have doubted God?

Answer 1

lowest time....hmmm...when I checked out the Yamster R&S and realized nobody wuvvs me.

Answer 2

Tiffany I appreciate your honesty and sincerity and if we were truthful there are times we do doubt God and get mad and angry with God.

Honestly my lowest time was in 2003-2004 I found out I could never have children, I was laid off, my father had a stroke, I had to be out of our apartment in less than 4 months and my husband had major surgery before that my husband and I were in the worst financial position in our lives a check bounced leaving our assets frozen for three months and I had to borrow money from my pastors wife just to put gas in my car to go to work and for a couple of weeks all we could afford was pasta and toast and canned vegetables.

Yes I was hurt yes I was bitter both my husband and I were working our backsides off and following God and things still went wrong.

I refused to sing in the choir for 2 years because I was so angry at God.

I angrily felt How could God let these bad things to happen to good people when I go to church, read my Bible and pray?

I got a good therapist, I got job counseling when I lost my job,
My dad got better, we moved into a smaller nicer place,
I got a better job with more money and much closer to home and my husband went through surgery beatuifully no complications.

In 2007 in January we moved 3000 miles from home and for the first time in our lives have a really nice place with a washing machine and dryer and dushwasher and we were able to get a new couch for the first time in our lives.

Proverbs 15:33 Humility comes before honor and as painful as these trials were I grew up I matured I became more effective for Christ. Before I married I was sheltered and dare I say a bit spoiled in some ways, I had a lot of false expectations of life.

I would encourage you if you are at a low point in your walk with God to pray to Him read your Bible and find someone you can trust to talk to whether it be a pastor, therapist or an older woman in the Lord who has been through lifes seasons.
Always know that God loves you. Be encoouraged you are not alone e4g

Answer 3

Never doubted God but doubted my faith is enough for God to heal me.....I know we must beleive, even if at first we see no results,,,but sometimes that is hard,,,I have an incurable disorder according to the Doctors but I know God could heal me if I can just beleive for it...


I did lash out at him one night when I was so misearable...that was a very dark time but I seem now to be doing much, much better, so perhaps, I was just not holding on long enough at the time..I was demanding healing on my terms and not on God's terms..I also noticed that the more I pray for others, the better I feel...so maybe there is more to this healing thing, than I fully understand yet...

My lowest time ever? When my youngest son was seriously wounded in Iraq, had been evacuated to Germany and I couldn't get to him to touch him and hold him. That was the lowest point in my life.

I placed him in Jesus' comforting and healing arms and spent days on my knees praying until he was shipped to Texas where I could see him. Then I spent time on my knees in thanksgiving for the miracle wrought.

No. I have never doubted my Lord and never will . He knows what is best.

Jesus, I trust in You!

Answer 5

I had some times I was dejected or times when I lost loved ones. I never blamed God, how could I be so egocentric to think God wasn't doing my bidding. People live and then they die, trying to help someone or something while you're alive that's the point. Emiy Dickinson said if I help one fainting robin onto it's nest again, I have not lived in vain. In my case it was a fainting pigeon, but you get my drift.

Answer 6

I've never doubted God at any time that I remember.

My lowest times have been when I realized that my wife was going to the police and courts to falsely accuse me of child and wife abuse.

She later divorced me for that cause, and the courts awarded me sole custody of my children and she became a dead beat Mom.

So God totallly vindicated me, as did my children.

Answer 7

My lowest times ever were when I lost 2 husbands to cancer. I praised God for the love I shared with both of them. It was a pleasure to have memories of these two special men in my life. I praise God for every moment with both of them.

Answer 8

my lowest time was when my mom passed away when i was seven and my dad left me at the age of 16 and i was on my own...of course at the age of seven i really didnt understand death untill i got older.and when my dad left me everything started to kick in and reality hit me hard...and i had made a decision that there wasnt a god or a devil. my saying was "if i dont see it then i dont believe it" i started to do drugs and my grades started to slip in school. at the time it didnt seem like it but everything was going down hill. well one day i got invited to go to the local church..so i said ok. i went and that night i got saved...it was the greatest feeling in the world to know that i wasnt alone that god was there with me. I mean i still have my low times and my highs but i believe god wouldnt have put me in a situation like that if he knew that i wasnt gonna come out strong! now my saying is "I can do all things through christ who strengthens me" phil.4:13

Answer 10

I have been pissed at God but have never doubted him. When you know God personally how could you doubt him. That would be like doubting that you parents exist.

Answer 11

honestly there have been many. I believe that each one is a learning experience though. Because God never gives us more than we can bear...I can't complain about my hardships. Even though I [personally] feel that it is too much, he knows whats best for me. So i just trust him to guide me and give me understanding so that i won't have to go thru what i went through previously...
