FIRST! This question is not to "rag" on those who believe in god. This question is not designed to call faith into question.
I've seen postings on Answers, one recent, describing someone living in an abusive situation and is asking for "Christian advice". Other questions have been asked for prayers to ask how to get out of an unsafe or dangerous situation - through God. What is going through these minds? Why are they not calling the police, seeking medical attentions, seeking psychological help?
If you believe in God, doesn't your god also want you to fend for yourself or use your brain to one degree or another? If someone is afraid of being abused, tortured, or possibly killed - why is it a matter for God and not the police?
Has God become such a HUGE crutch that some have become totally helpless? If you have a broken leg, why would you not go to a doctor? If you are being physically, mentally, and psychologically abused, why would you not go to a shelter???
I don't understand.
