When a blessing turns your life around.

If I ever screamed at Him I would not feel good about it, neither would I expect God to do what I yelled at Him to do just because I turned up the hysterics.

To cry out to the Lord in humility is one thing, in your post you stated you were screaming at Him.

Over the last few years I have been just barely getting by. I had enough for food and rent, but not much else. Every time I got a savings started, something happened to wipe it out. Example, last November I made over $2400 doing mystery shopping. In December I got bronchitis and couldn't work for almost a month. Middle of January I was better and back to starting a saving. Than my car battery died and there goes $200. I'm at home counting what I had left, I see the mobile home park manager looking around the front. I'm told I have to cut the trees around my house to below the roof line. I knew that would cost me a few hundred and there goes all my savings. I screamed to GOD, I can't even get a simple savings started without something happening to wipe it out. I could almost time when something was going to happen. Get close to $500 in savings, and in a day or two it's wiped out from unexpected expenses. I began feeling like Job.

One day last week I was screaming at GOD over the frustration. That night a friend contacted me and said an Angel came to them and told them to help me out. The next day I had over $3500 in my account. 2 days later another $3500. I am just shocked. I did call the friend and they confirmed they sent the money, so it's not a scam. I am still in shock over this. The stress and fears of going under are gone. I feel like Joseph, going from being in a prison, to being second in command of Egypt in a day. I told the friend, I've spent so much time screaming to GOD to stop this up and down, I don't know what to do with myself. It has been a blessing.

He heard my cries and answered, If it had been up to you, he never would have answered. So who showed more compassion?

Is that now going to be your go-to response when things don't go your way? Scream and vent your frustration at God?

I have to admit I did cringe a bit when you wrote that you were screaming at God. God DOES understand what you're going through, and that's why He helped you.

But don't go overboard with the screaming at or to God thing. There has to be respect and reverence toward Him because He is God and He has already done and sacrificed so much for you out of great love for you.

Keep in mind that the Lord has placed a lot of value on you - He won't overlook you:

Matthew 6:25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

But you have to have your priorities in the right order:

Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

If you focus on the Lord and keep Him first in your life, He'll take care of everything else you need!

So here's the proper way to present your requests to God. It's really simple:

Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

So this verse says to:

• Present your requests with a grateful heart. Recall to yourself all the past wonderful things He's done for you and give thanks for them.
• Trust God - lay all your problems at His feet. Then wait patiently for Him to help or provide for you according to His will. He might not answer you the way you would want Him to, but He will always come through no matter what.

I hope this helps!

I did not go overboard, he heard my screams and cries and answered.

He heard my cries and answered. I would say he has the last word.

He heard my cries and answered, If it had been up to you, he never would have answered. So who showed more compassion?

I am sorry to this too convoluted for me to really answer.

He's heard me plenty of times too and I didn't have to scream at Him. He apparently heard you this time; but I'm wondering if since He heard you and granted you some relief if that will become your normal approach now. Do you think He'll continue to answer your prayers if every time He doesn't meet your expectations you scream your frustration at Him?

Yeah, I get that. But are you going to scream and cry at God or to Him every time you need something from now on? Just wondering.

Because I personally never needed to do that and still got my prayers answered. And so did a lot of other people.....

Because GOD answered your prayer your way, you think it's the only way GOD answers prayers? I've met many Christians who think that. They think you have to pray their way to get GOD to answer.

We're living in New Testament times, no longer in the Old Testament times.

I did not know there was a proper way to cry to the LORD.

Maybe just pay more attention to how you phrase things, screaming at God comes across as very accusatory.

When it comes to finances we are told be good stewards during our lives and yes give, but not to the point where we end up worse off than those to whom we gave.

That is my free financial advise for the day.
