How come God can take credit for all the good things that happen, but no one blames God for that bad things that happen? You can't have it both ways. What it comes down to is God made everything and has the power to stop bad things from happening, but he does nothing. But whe good things happen, we say its "gods will", but how is not gods will when bad things happen? Double standard.
I have only prayed a couple of times in my life, but those times, God has done the total opposite of what I prayed for. When i was 9, my dad was sick, I prayed to god to have him get better. God let him die. I thought it said in the bible if you pray for others, God will listen and answer your prayers, but thats a lie.
The other time I prayed was when my step dad passed on, I asked God to give my Mom strengh to get through it, God let her become a drug addict.
God is in total control. God loves to cause bad things to happen so we pray to him, its how he stays powerful.
