Why do Unbelievers Seem to have it so Easy and Christians have Life so Hard?

[@booksarefromheaven49]

Everybody suffers. No one escapes. But the real question is “What are you suffering for?” . I would rather suffer for God and because of Sanctification

[@DonCornelius366]

Life is NOT harder for the Saint. To think you get "fired" and a sinner doesn't is self-deception. You get cancer. THEY get cancer. Your loved one dies. THEIR loved one dies. You have bills. THEY have bills. You are tempted with divorce. THEY are tempted with divorce. So … what's the difference? Why the illusion that their lives are so grand and yours suck? Well, there is your answer - its an ILLUSION. You only feel the struggle more because you RESIST TEMPTATIONS and you FEEL BAD when you fall. They don't care. Example: You get angry at someone and you hold it in to not destroy your testimony, and to obey God. THEY let it all out! Proanity and fists and everything! You feel bad about pornography and are convicted to yoru core with sexual sin. THEY don't even consider their sin and have no tears for it as you do. So … what's the REAL difference? You RESIST and everyone knows that RESISTING anything is much harder that simply "going with the flow" But the END result and what lies BEYOND DEATHS DOOR will prove to you who knows and loves the Lord … and who doesn't. "blessed of those of you who cry now, for you shall be comforted. "WOE unto you who laugh now, for you shall weep!" - Jesus

I needed to hear this. So many times I felt this way. I felt like all the greedy and sinful people where living nice lives of riches and peace while I'm stuck in poverty and anxiety and stress. And not just those people but even Christians as well that did seem to be so happy I would get jealous of their lives and ask why do I have to live a life of anxiety, stress, poverty etc? Why can't I have peace? Why isn't God helping me? Honestly I still feel like this at times and still struggle but reading the Word, watching videos like yours, and simply growing as a believer in Christ has been reassuring me that God is at work. And I have come to learn that even if I never got out of poverty and struggle with finances, anxiety and whatever the rest of my life, there's a home in Heaven waiting for me where everything is right and I'll have the peace that I long for. So no matter the circumstances the truth is Jesus cares for us and loves us. It's hard but have faith.

Its hard to find spiritual encouragement there. Sometimes I find myself desiring to be in a relationship with someone just because most of my friends are in one. But if I am honest with myself, I'm not ready at all, I'm not even spiritually mature enough to handle something like that. If I do it the world's way, I will end up in some serious sin.

[@Rampaigee]

I’ve been there-being bitter watching unbelievers prosper. I was asked by God to leave a man I loved and was unmarried to and had a baby while backslidden. He didn’t want anything to do with Jesus and certainly didn’t want to get married. So I left. I left the comfort, financial support, and relationship. Since then I became celibate and am saving myself for marriage. I am still single. It’s been 2 and a half years. I watch unbelievers live in sin, fornicating then all the sudden get married. Sometimes one gets saved and the other follows suit. No sacrifice, no separating. Just bam married and everything is fine. But I have to trust God has a plan and that this obedience was not in vain.

[@FirstnameLastname77777]

This was encouraging thank you

[@JoyBoy-gp5dm]

Spoiler alert: it was in vain. You did all that for no reason, just for people who don’t deserve it to walk away unscathed and happy. People who tore you down to nothing are being blessed by the God you try so hard to impress, but who ignores you nonetheless. You are believing and worshipping in vain. Jesus cannot fulfill you or make you happy. Jesus cannot give you a husband. All He can reliably and consistently do is ignore you, let you down, and when He does bless you, He will do it in a way that leaves you wholly unsatisfied, but will force you to pretend you’re eternally grateful for. Just cut the bullshit. Forget about God, forget about the piece of wood the crazy guy was nailed to, forget all the delusional psychos who claimed they saw him rise from the dead, forget all of it. You’re here now, so LIVE. Do what makes you happy, not what you think some imaginary sky daddy wants you to do. You have no way of ever knowing what God wants, all you have to go off of is a book that men (who wanted power) claimed that God told them to write. So who cares? Deal with God when you’re dead, if He’s even real. If He’s as good and fair and loving as they say, you’ll go to heaven. And if he’s harsh and strict and unforgiving because you broke a few arbitrary rules, then why would you want to go to heaven anyway?

[@minniethemouse62]

Another great topic...and I think about this all the time In today’s culture, we tend to measure the “good life” by financial resources, material possessions and other worldly standards. When we are desperately trying to lead a Godly life, and bills mount, we experience troubles at work and in our relationships, and compare and contrast it to what seems to be a prosperous life of non believers, it’s easy to feel that we are somehow being short changed. There are days when we feel that we cannot stand another drop of bad news. It is those times that we must be steadfast. No matter how shiny those things are that the world places a premium on, remember, for those who love the Lord, he promises to meet our needs, (not wants...there is a difference). Remember, His time and your time may be very different. Rich people may feel that they don’t need God, as long as the back opens it’s doors. When you have an endless well of financial resources, may you feel that you don’t need to trust in God. You can buy houses, cars, clothes and even some people. Everything can be bought

[@jelicianorwood24]

That's deep and so true. Money will have us not trusting God.

[@notamused3715]

C Ash- Well said! I find these days it gives me some peace to offer up my sufferings to Jesus on the Cross,in reparation for my sins and for Him to do with as He wills- this gives meaning to my suffering and,by Jesus's miraculous powers,makes me stronger, more resilient and more patient;more able to bear it!.Suffering has value and be redemptive if we offer it up to God! Jesus will accompany us in our sufferings if we turn to Him. Sure,doesn't He know what it's like only too well! God bless!

[@minniethemouse62]

If we could meet all of our needs, we wouldn't need God. If you look at it that way, trouble is a reminder for us trust Him.

[@hilarywithonel5412]

Thank you for your comment! I am struggling with discontentment (work for some very wealthy, upwardly mobile folks while I work hard without getting ahead). My husband pointed out that it keeps them distracted from God and I don't need to be discontent, but it doesn't come easy!

[@minniethemouse62]

Hilary with one L I completely understand. Recently, there have been some changes at my place of work. Due to retirements, key positions were filled with some very young people, when there were others that were clearly more capable and perhaps had paid many dues over time. The best way to describe the workplace is a cross between high school and a college sorority 😕. Daily, many acts of favoritism, cronyism and other “isms” can be observed. There are people working with high school diplomas that earn more than those with Masters and PhDs. I earned my degree as a non-traditional student. This was not easy, as I worked full time, while raising my youngest children and worked full time.

[@InitialPC]

I live for God, but God has cut Himself off from me and made Himself a stranger to me, so why should I suffer in life only to spend eternity with a God who abandoned me? Why should I want God if God makes me feel unwanted?

This video resonated with me. Thank you. The other thing I struggle with when it comes to other people is how perfect and squeaky clean other Christians seem, while I am bent low with depression, worries, loneliness and doubts. Part of the reason why I have been neglecting church is because I feel so inadequate and ashamed for this reason. I know other Christians have issues too, but what I don't get is why they are so much better at hiding it than me.

What we seem to misunderstand about giving our hearts to Christ is; if infact it is true that it is you SOUL that you want CHRIST to save, understand that you are asking HIM to molde you and shape you. Yes, sometimes this is accomplised with mountain-tops but, mostly, HE shapes us in the valleys of life. Hang in there Brother, you've made the right decision my friend.

I have been practicing semen retention and getting over porn addiction, but it seems many woman keep flirting with me and all of the guys I work with look at me like I'm crazy for not wanting to hook up with them, it's a constant battle everyday to not be fooled by these sinful actions, but I fear I will break very soon so I just ask for prayers brothers and sisters as my sexual sin, gluttony, anger, and pride are the worst of my sins so far and these videos truly help keep me on my path I hope to one day have the knowledge and wisdom to help many people like you have.

His smiles aren't smiles of happiness anymore. Now it's almost like he laughs to keep from crying. God sees their ways and doesn't let them be proud in their wickedness forever. He allows them to fall apart piece by piece.

[@carols6127]

This world is really a challenging place to live. It is the survival of the fittest ( Cunning, clever, sharp, practical, selfish, lying, acting, false identity, getting approval of others, successful, intelligent, looks, social life, friends, competent, etc). If we don't sustain, we will be depressed. Its a heavy burden to deal with the emotions of failure. Jesus says the yoke of the world is heavy , but His yoke is light. In the presence of the Lord, our perception of life changes to spiritual perception. There is lot of self control when there is holy spirit. we can overcome every temptations. If we ever back slide, or loose the presence of God or loose our faith, it is very difficult to experience emotions or struggle in the capacity of our flesh with spiritual warfare. It will be a stage of confusion, darkness, perplexity. A vulnerable state for our mind to react in any way. It can be literally be a hell, with an invisible fire. But still we have to humble ourselves and seek him.

I have a brother & sister who are not Christian & they do not have any interests of being so. They don't respect me & judge me because a lot of bad things has happened to me. They have been blessed with good jobs that paid well. They have homes that is paid for now, nice cars & wonderful vacations. They gossip bad talk behind my back & as a result... their family & friends don't like me. They look at me like I'm a looser & stupid. I want to apologize to God for being a bad witness☹ It's so embarrassing to have all these finacial problems. It's really not all my fault that my money was stolen from me. Not my fault that my jobs that I had went out of business. I always worked very hard & was a great employee. Not my fault that people abused me...I did not hurt them😟 The old saying: "No good deed goes unpunished" applies to me. I wish that God would of guided me thru my life in a good way so that people would want to be a Christian. My husband was killed in a car accident when I was 24 yrs old. I didn't remarry.

Everything that you described in this video is Exactly what my life of suffering and struggling and poor poverty and failing health is actually the questions that I have been asking GOD, all my life I 've been alone and poor and judged against and used by ungodly people, while they prosper and I suffered in every aspect and I praised God and followed God and gave my heart to him and I have nothing, not even normal good health, but these peoples around me gets everything, I ask the true Father God why did you even created me, for my life as a baby to a 58 yrs old man has only known suffering, for I did not ask to be born, why would he do this to his own child, his own creation, it's NOT fair.

[@gillmsnfillman1691]

First and foremost your parents made the decision to bring you here to suffer, not God. God is merely offering you a better deal for the other side. The prophets who were greater men all suffered, Jesus suffered, the son of God was put to death, what makes you think your life will be any easier? Jesus promised that suffering is part of deal, don’t forget it. Don’t listen to prosperity gospel frauds teaching you that you’ll never suffer, you’ll be rich materially and you can have anything you want, these people are taking advantage of your own inherent greed, and many will suffer more than others. This extends to those who even hate God, who even go as far to blasphemy and deny the very existence. The most powerful of people are some of the most wicked. Be happy if you don’t have children, honestly it’s a blessing to know you haven’t propagated this cycle and caused more suffering.
