Do we abandon god, or does god abandon us?

sometimes people are in pain and then they think god has abandoned them. when really most of the people never pray until they want something. when they are okay they don't even remember god was always there. we don't give thanks to god for giding our day in the night before we sleep and then we blame god for our mistakes. who abandon who?

    Great question and point! It is us humans who abandon God.

    This poem will answer it all:

    Footprints

    One night a man had a dream.

    He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.

    Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

    For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to him, and the other belonging to the Lord.

    When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

    He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.

    He noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

    This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.

    Lord, you said that once I decided to follow You,You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints.

    I don't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.

    The Lord replied "My son. My precious child, I love you and would never leave you.During your times of trial and suffering,when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

  • i wanted to agree with you we abandon God most of the time but sometimes god wants to see us faithful to him thats the way i think about it.

    If there's going to be justice in the world, God has to cut us loose if we finally finish our lives and still haven't reconciled with him. Mercy is one thing, but ultimately, there will be a result of what you do.

    Non sequitur. There are no gods, so no issue of abandonment.

    people are totally misguided if they think that god/goddess even cares about them at all.

    the goddess....is trillions, and trillions, and trillions, and trillions, and trillions of LIGHT YEARS BIG.do you think a ALIEN BEING [THAT BIG] cares about a microscopic >>>>>[ dot ]<<<<< called our universe???and a even smaller microscopic , microscopic...[dot] called our galaxy?????

    we are way to small , for the goddess to even think about..

    how many ants did you kill to day when you walked some were???we are SMALLER THAN ANTS TO god!!!!!, .........she doesn't care about us!!!!

    ________________________________________________

    the ones who cares about us are our

    1.dead relatives

    2.guardian spirits/angels

    3.some gods and goddesses

    THESE ARE THE ONES WHO CARE ABOUT US...NOT THE BIG BLOB OF WATER/SPIRIT IN THE SKY.

    _____________________________________________

    after life times of meditation..and spiritual work...ma be just ma be ...some lower god will recommend you to ......the big [female] up stairs.

    ____________________________________________

    the human race is [Bacteria] to her...she realy doesn't care.what happens to us.

    but she [loves all her creations].......but is indifferent towards them.

    _________________________________________________

    only christians have created this [DELUSION OF A PERSONAL CARING GOD] ....this is not true .........a caring god is a lie
