I know that sometimes we get angry when stuff happens and we sometimes tend to find someone to blame for it because its just natural to do it to vent anger and to relieve ourselves of disappointment. Sometimes we blame God for something bad that happens to you or someone else.
We all know that God is doing something for us, we being part of his plan and whatnot. Everything happens for a reason good or bad it happens. We just have to know that we can't blame God for everything that happens thats bad, we tend to blame Him for the bad things and tend to praise ourselves for the deeds we accomplish and forget who is actually responsible for it.
In the end we should all realize that God is doing all of this for us and in the end we will all understand why everything was done. I'd like everyone to pray about this and put this in front of everyone to push themselves one step further towards the realization of God in his works and what he is doing.

I sometimes do blame people and such when it comes down to nitty gritty of stuff going wrong, but in my heart i know that it is my fault.
Its even worse when i don't repent and say a little prayer to God. You know, i can spend like a minute saying a little prayer to God becuase that one minute is already too little for God. we spend our day, getting up , going to school, go to class, meet up with some friends, then go home. where's God in all of that? its different for every single one of us but we can do a little better everyday when i comes to spending time with God.

blaming God for deserved-misfortune is like blaming sports equipment for bad performance. it happens because people realise that sports equipment(god) has a large impact on the outcome, although they also intuitively know that it is likely that a larger portion of the outcome is based upon the individual's actions, as people it is not only easier but also "safer"(in terms of ego) to do so.
WHen it comes to such matters, like most other things, i debate them with myself in my mind, i logically reason the most likely occurance and act based on it. this however may be dangerous if ones reasoning is easily hamered by emotions and such as most people's tend to be. my trick is, to try your hardest to disprove what you initially think is right. it not only provides a more topological(haha i used it in a sentence)view of the situation but can also calm down your emotions because you asre spending mroe time on your decisoin.
ALl the aforementioned is advice, but i struggle with this stuf a lot too, although, for me it doesnt rly invovle me, but rather the massive inequity found on Earth.

i think everyone has the problem of blaming others for mistakes that could be their own because of pride and what not...
personally i dont find myself blaming God for problems in my life.. but rather i blame myself and others about it. Whenever i blame myself, i would then go in either direction: change if i can see a solution to the problem, or get somewhat depressed about the issue because i cannot resolve it. 2nd one would usually lead me to pray to God about it, and leave it to God. But sometimes i feel that I cant hear what God is trying to tell me when it comes to issues that i "leave up to Him" kinda thing... but i guess thats just me not being able to trust God enough.

from what i've been through. (and i know this sounds a lot easier then it really is) but i've personally only had a stronger relationship with god when he put me through trials and ordeals. cause somehow it fits into god's plan.
look at job (the guy in the bible). god had so much faith in his man that he would be faithful that he dared to bet satan that despite all the things he can take away from job; job will be faithful.
a song i'm putting a skit together this wed. for ccf is called, bring the rain by mercy me and i encourage everyone to not only want the good in life but also challenge god to bring us the bad..
actually, i'll post the link to the lyrics.

I'm not quite sure what I do. I think I think of God less often whenever anything happens, and think more about whats actually happening. or. maybe i dont think at all i cant tell or remember right now. perhaps i blame myself more often.... i dont know.

One question wanna ask you guys is...
Is it OK to be angry at God?
It may sound rhetorical, but all in all, I believe in a personal relationship with God, sometimes being frustrated is reasonable.
Perhaps I am viewing this wrong, please correct me if i do. I mean...
When you get married, you and your spouse will most likely will have issues that might become heated. Its not like you are so angry that you start HATING your spouse, i mean, she (for most of us) IS your most beloved spouse on Earth, and the woman God placed in your life to spend the rest of your life with. You still LOVE her, but sometimes, things will just anger you.
I believe its the same with our relationship with God. Sometimes, it does get frustrating, and sometimes u might get angry. But God still LURVES you and you should still LURVE God. God knows we're human, we will fall into fits of anger over the things He puts us through, but He sees the whole picture. He knows everything about us and won't give u anything you can't handle.
If you get frustrated, and angry. Go to God, just vent your anger, not like swear at God for the things He is putting you through, but ask Him WHY he is putting you through this. I am SURE He will answer in due time.
Plus, unlike our worldly spouse, God is always right.

p.s. you guys should capitalize God. its nitpicky, but, its important.
For me, I don't think I blame God for when things go bad, but more so I tend to blame God when I don't get what I want/asked for. And to me... sometimes what I want is sooo simple and easy... that I expect God to answer them quickly.
Whether it's, I just wanna spend some time with friends, or get a certain type of food, or even doing well on an assignment.. I sometimes come with the expectation that it will be fulfilled. And when it doesn't, that's ok. But when more and more of my prayers go unanswered, I start to get angry or frustrated with God.
For me, I'm the type of person that needs to see my hard work or actions become something. And when all my hard work results in nothing, I lose a little hope, a little faith, a little of myself and I start to burn out and sink into depression.

Hmm, interesting responses. Personally I prefer not to be angry at God, although sometimes I may be exasperated at certain situations and would ask God "why this" or "why now".
When things are out of our control it's only natural to channel that frustration towards something but I think we get into dangerous territory when we blame God for everything.
Sure we can be angry but you gotta understand God created you and He gave you life. He doesn't lead you places where He can't get you out. All God is really doing is saying "You don't need to be angry at Me, Just TRUST Me."
