Why God is giving us lots of trials at the same time?

When you are talking financial struggle you are talking about earthly goods. We make our own noose around our necks by thinking that we can have what we want when we want it and then the credit card bills arrive. Jesus said "accept ye become as little children, ye shall not enter the Kingdom of heaven" He was talking about childlike faith in Him. He also said "do not pile up things here on earth where moth and rust doth corrupt, rather look to the treasures that you can gather in heaven. You are being taught a lesson, perhaps the hard way, but you have already realised that earthly goods will bring you to your knees financially. God isn't giving you the trials friend, you have created the trials yourselves. Don't become hopeless, become faithful instead. Ask Him for His help and mean it!\nTip: cut up the credit cards!

Well, since he created us all, he must be powerful. There are many stories in the Bible that show us this.

God allows things to happen, but he still hurts for us when me make poor choices and he is always there for us.  We have free will.  If we did not have free will, we would be like robots.  God gave us forgiveness through his son Jesus.  I am praying for you right now, that your you will learn from your mistakes (and that we all will) and that you will call up God to hold you through the pain.

It could be at any moment. So put your fighting gear on because right now we are still in battle with evil. Get close to God. Ask Him to forgive your sins, and ask him into your life and your heart. If you do this, you will see the miracles God does, and you won't have to worry about the time getting closer. You will be waiting happily for that time to come.

Because God is also holy and just.  That means He punishes sin and destroys evil.  He established consequences for sin and evil, so it is part of His character to carry out those consequences.  The amazing thing is that His love and mercy kept Him from killing more people than He did.

Temptation is not from God necessarily, we have a choice to chose to sin, and succomb to temptation.\n\nThe trial is usually what comes after we have made a promise to God or prayed, say, for 'patience'. It is a learning process to improve who we are. Some learn quickly, some are not fast learners from their weaknesses. If you get through the trial you will be stronger, and more clear about God's desire for us in life, as to our purpose and servitude, soldiering, ministering unto Him. It is usually a gift that we didn't realize it was going to serve Him and deliver others to the Savior. Life becomes more beautiful, it is a cleansing in your life...trials and resisting temptation. You will need to pray so much to be successful through trials and temptations.\nBoth, can be good if you do good and live righteous...temptations are\nnot desireable when you love God.

There were still lots of temptations and evils preying around us so the best thing to do is to have a deeper relationship with God. This way no one and nothing can lead u astray and He will always guide you to righteous deeds.\nBest of luck buddy!

God is a big question in a lot of people's minds.  If they're searching for answers, let them search.

Because we have to live our lives as god intended. If we do something to go against god and we get to go to the other place as a punishment.

I don't think so.  I believe that people who do put alot of faith in god are giving the credit of their actions to another being.  God didn't create or plan your actions- you did!

I have often wondered that myself....The harder we work the more we owe...must be the way god wanted it...to test us i guess

I think sometimes we shut and open doors ourselves, and then say that it is God playing games with us. I think you just need a bit more time, and patience with what God is doing in your life. Allow yourself time to hear God. \n\nI also think God has moved you on to a new level with Him. That is maybe a bit more difficult than where you were previously. That is why this seems a bit more difficult to figure out. God is constantly wanting us to move forward, and to move higher. Relax in what God wants, and if you are not sure, then just wait a while. \n\nNothing happens in our timing, no matter how hard we try to control time we can not. Also, a big thing for me, is to go on what peace I have. If I have complete peace, not a shadow of a doubt, then I know that it is what God wants. But if there is even a smallest of a fraction of doubt. Then I know that I should not pursue that what I was wanting to. \n\nKeep praying and asking God for the answer. He will give you the answer, maybe the answer is already given, but you yourself are opening and closing doors... \n\nThis could be also a big test for you, to see how much you are willing to give up for God. Sometimes, when we give up one thing, God gives us something far greater than what we ever imagined. \n\nI dont know the whole situation here, but rest in God. That is the only thing I can say works. Spend time with Holy Spirit, allowing Him to work in your life, and to show you the way that you must go....\n\nI wish you all the best in what you are facing... it can not be easy, but know that God is right there with you. He never leaves your side. He knows what is best for you....

Being patient and waiting on God to answer me or give me what I need/want. Those are times when you begin to doubt but when you need to be even stronger than ever in your faith for Him.

Because we have so much. We never take the time to Thank God for it all. We never relize what something means to us until we loose it. Don't take Life For granted.

He wants as many as can to become a child of God. He is willing to wait so that more people can be witnessed to. He will come. In His time.

This happens a lot to some people.  I am a Christian and I know that saints go through to improve their character and make them more like the person God intends them to be.  It is hard every time.  The one thing that helps me is prayer.  Just talk to God and let Him know you love Him and trust Him.  Even when you see no way out, believe that it all has a purpose, even when you can not see an expected end.  I have faith that He will see me through and that He will never take me further than I can travel.  He is with you.  Know that sometimes we are shaken up fro all routine so that we are forced to go in another direction.  the pain of the experience helps us remember the experience and gain from the lesson.  If we make it throug to the other side, we have the victory and God has the glory.  Most of the time it does not make sense to us.  That is because we know what we want and sameness is comforting.  When the sameness is no longer good for us or is keep us from achieving the next level, only a complete shaking of our foundation gets us moving.  I will pray for your experience and that you will come out as pure gold.  It is the fire that refines us.  I am having a refining period myself right now and just knowing that we are going through at the same time provides comfort and reminds me to have faith and never give up.  A quitter never wins.  Stay in the race and press forward.
