How do I confront God?

You are the cause of your own actions … if you can’t gain control of yourself, then God can’t even help you. It’s up to you to do the right thing. You can’t cause trouble then expect God to fix it for you.

No god CAN control me but what kind of a god would he be? but he could help me be more calm , he could help me in a lot of things…plus even if it wasn’t like this whole fighting issue I still wouldn’t know how to confront him, so lets forget about this issue and please tell me, how do I confront god so I could be closer to him?

& btw I didn’t cause trouble they caused it .. like I said the staff member witnessed it all .. thats why I didn’t even get in trouble

prayer will help… imagine that Jesus is with u at all times.. like a physical person..this wil help u behave better. pray as much as u can. when u feel like ur goin to get mad or upset just pray and imagine Jesus there.. it really helps me

alright thank you so much(:

read the bible everyday and love him more than anyone. talk to him like a friend. i talk to him all day.. when somethin makes me mad or i get sad or happy or anything. i always talk to him

ur welcome Ruby Good luck.. u will be fine ur heart seeks God and his kingdom. thats all that matters. seek nd u shall find <3

Maybe yu should just walk away next time, if they dont touch yu if there just sayin thing’s yu should ignore them. fighting make’s yu look bad. And if they do swing on yu, yu should press charges get the police involved. n well yea i dnt think praying is guna help

<3 ((:

alright I will (:

well no, I’m not going to sit there looking like a pu$$y when someone is talking shizz in ma face & espically when security has to take her out because she about to hit me .. then while that still talking crap we both lost it we was both about to swing and we would of if there was no one in the way_-

Definitely pray! When you talk to God, don’t try to minimize the things you’ve done. What it is is sin - we are all sinners and we need to come to grips with that fact. But Jesus offers us an amazing forgiveness, even if you had killed that girl! All we have to do is ask! So if you pray to God admitting your sin and asking Him to forgive you, He will. You will have perfect peace and Christ will neve fail you!!! Take the time to ask!!!

Well do what yu want then, But figthing never solves anything, and how are yu guna look like a p*ssy, yr guna look smart, the person that is outta control tryna fight is guna look terrible, nobody is guna wannabe around that. figthing is not cute or kool, it makes both ppl look terrible

Run into a church and demand answers!

Nah, in all seriousness, just say a prayer to express how sorry you feel and how you forgive the girl for what she started. Because that’’s kinda the better thing and makes you better person. And next time just walk away and keep out of her way. You’ll come out better.

the best things for u to do is pray and ask god for forgiveness he always forgives us from our sins and read the bible the best bible to get is the message bcuz its the easiest one to understand i hope this helps u

Go to a church and pray.

Speak to him with your heart and mean it 100%

always in prayer

u cant confront someone that doesnt exist

Pary and ask him to help u. :)

You really need to talk to a professional about these feelings of rage. While praying might give you some comfort, it will never get at the root cause of these feelings. I am sure your school has a psychologist or social worker on staff. Make an appointment to talk to them. They are trained to deal with issues like these…

well she obviously believes..

This is really discouraging and untrue advice! God CAN help us when we rebel against Him and He WANTS us to run back to Him. That’s what forgiveness is! I’m not trying to personally insult you though, Colleen, so don’t be offended by this =) But we CAN’T gain control over ourselves, because we’re lost until we turn to a Savior.

I disagree … I think that every person has the ability and the knowledge to know how to control themselves … I don’t ask God to make me behave - it’s a discipline I have over myself. Personally, I think that anyone who acts up and then asks for God’s help is a coward who wants nothing more than an easy way out of the trouble they have caused.

Well, I’m not saying we have no control over our behavior. God gives us the ability to choose. But the ultimate cause of out-of-control anger is sin, which is something only Christ can conquer, so until you have Him you’re like a ticking anger bomb. I’m not saying we need to pray to God to “make us behave,” but we need to be forgiven for NOT behaving.

We need to trust him to help us and He will! :D

Sandy, I respect your right to believe what you want, but many people do not believe in a god or christ, and they have no problem controlling or suppressing rage. They are not ticking time bombs. The are humans who are flawed, just like every other human on the planet. But if their issues are so severe they can’t control it, it would be much more responsible to tell people to get professional help rather than telling them to pray or ask for a god’s help.

But that is wat this whole thing is abt…. ?

B4 u go to sleep talk to him like he is a good frnd and ask him 4 help.

When someone has a real problem, one that requires professional attention, it doesn’t matter what their religious belief is. If they are religious and want to pray or ask for god’s help, that is fine. But that can not, and should not be the only advice given. That is all I am trying to say.

note: she is asking for Gods forgivness and guidence. not to take away all her problems. but to help her find the solution to her problems and be forgivin. to confront him becuz she knows wat she is doin is wrong. not askin for him to poof her out of her problems. just comfort and forgivness. and he can guide her to the help she needs

@Sandi thank you @Lily thanks too @Angel thank you I couldn’t have said it better myself(:

thanks

thank you so much(:

thanks

ok thank you

U’r welcome. ;) I tried my best! :D lol :D

thank you Angel I believe and if you don’t believe that is not my problem ok thanks for your opinion though I really appreciate it -_-

ok …

ok thank you

thanks

thanks

ur welcome Ruby. its always a touchy subject on here lol

I’m not saying Christ will take all your problems away, or make you stop sinning, because that never really happens. But people without anger problems who don’t believe in God need Him just as much as you. They may be able to mask their anger and supress their feelings around other people, but it’s still a hatred festering in their heart. They’ve all cried in bed at midnight for whatever reason when no one else could see, and they’ve all felt horrible at times. The tears may pass with time, but there is still no true healing. What Christ offers is a LASTING peace, so that whenever you cry at midnight, He hears and HE gets you through it.

And anyone who doesn’t believe the same thing doesn’t understand why I would recommend Jesus over a “professional.” Do you pay your psychiatrist, or did he pay the price for you? Does he give you pills to take for depression that last a few hours (and don’t always work), or does he promise you perfect peace forever? Does he see you at 3:00 every Wednesday, or did He say, “I am with you always, to the end of the age.”? Does He work for you, or did He die for you? My psychiatrist walks on water. He doesn’t need a degree.

So don’t you want all those amazing promises for yourself? He died for YOU! Won’t you go to Him today???

yes ma’am :)

I don’t require a psychiatrist … I’ve found my own comfort in life, but I will agree with one thing - it does help to ease the burden for many people to know there is some greater power watching out for them. I, personally, don’t believe in God, but I won’t discredit your faith. Perhaps I understood the question wrong … needing God for comfort or to help you get through a difficult situation - of course … pray, if that’s your belief … I just don’t think God should be used as a crutch for people to act badly and then look for justification.

i agree.. u cannot use Jesus like that or that also is a sin.. u have to truely be sorry for ur sins or it wont be forgivin. u have to really try to live for God. u cannot go and say please forgive me if u do not mean it and just gonna go and do it again without no remorse

It’s not about acting badly then looking for justification. It’s that all of us DO act badly so we NEED justification. Because even without this “crutch,” you are still sinning whether or not you’re sorry.

How do you confront God? You already know the answer to that. Pray What do you say? Ask for patience to think about the situation, wisdom to be able to handle the situation, and strength to be able the urge to beat the girls face in.
Also ask God to show you how to forgive and love your enemies. Jesus not only forgave the people that were killing him (while they were killing him) but he did that not because it was right, but because he loved them as God loves you. Because if you forgive your enemy then you won’t be angry and if you love them then you will already have conquered them. I want to say turn the other cheek but I don’t want to get you to a point where that happens. In my book, I’d rather prevent them from striking my first cheek. I understand that feeling of fighting. That feeling of power, adrenaline, that you are strong. However, it’s easy to fight, but hard to walk away and show compassion. Hope this helps

Sandy, please speak for yourself and not others. Define acting badly? Most things christians would call acting badly is only bad if you follow their particular dogma. Like being gay for example.

u cannot be forgivin if u r not truely sorry sandy. its like sayin oh i can go sin and then he will forgive me.. no it doesnt work that way. u have to be sorry and truely try

Angel, I agree - there has to be genuine remorse, a desire to be forgiven, and a faith that He will. What I said was that even if you’re not sorry, it still counts as sin. Not that you’re forgiven even if you’re not sorry. ;)

ok i see.. that sounds better :) hehe

Look at in this way. God gave everyone self decision. So what ever you decide on God gives you. If you are doing bad God gives that to you. If you are doing good God gives that to you. What people don’t understand or realize is this what they choose is the experience they get.

All life’s purpose is to create an effect, whether it’s good or bad. What one creates one experiences. There are 3 things one has that he or she can’t change, God gave it to us. 1. The right to consider. 2. The right to decide. 3. The right to perceive. That is all we do.

So the question is, “how do you confront God.” What do you have to confront God about? Really nothing. All you have to do is confront what you are doing to yourself and others, good and bad. Choose good and you’ll always have good. Okay. God’s purpose is to allow you to do and give what you decide on. He doesn’t punish or give awards. You decide for yourself what you want, and through your decisions you get to experience it, good or bad. Your purpose is to create, that is what a decision is. That is what moves this universe along from day to day.

My sister was a devout believer, and was an extremely good person who never said a bad word about anyone. She was not rewarded by this god of yours. She died at age 53 after a 9 year battle with breast cancer. So being good does not have any affect on what happens to you….

I’m sorry about your loss! If she was a believer then she is with the Lord now. It does affect what happens to you.

Thank you, it was a long time ago, but my point was that being good, does not guarantee good things happen to you. I do not believe in the supernatural, so I don’t believe she is anywhere but in my memories… And that is ok…
