why did god not help me when i needed help?

Question

i prayed for grandma not to die. she was like a mother to me. why did god let her die? did he care? please help me. serious answers please.

Answer 1

Yes he cared. God answers each and every prayer, but not always in the way that we want. As your heavenly father he wants what's best for you and your grandma, but that may not have been best for either of you. God isn't a vending machine. He sees the big picture and knows what is best.

My grandma died to and I constantly am finding reasons that I would like to have her still around. I prayed every day that God would heal her. But she died. I know that that was best for me in some way. It was best for her to. She would have gone through years filled with surgeries had the doctors discovered her cancer earlier.

I'm very sorry that your grandma died. I know how it feels. I'll pray for you even if you don't believe it works

Answer 2

Everyone will give you the lame answer of God works in Mysterious ways! Well that is just a line Christians give you, cause they can't explain it themselves. God didn't answer because it really was the Doctors and nurses trying to help your grandma and they did everything they could. But in the end their medical knowledge couldn't help her. It sounds cold and harsh, but this is the facts. There is no god up there listening. This Universe is way to big to think that earthlings have it right, when they say God created the universe. That is just ridiculous! I'm sorry you Grandma passed! but it was just her time unfortunately! But I am sure she lived a great life! And Just remember when you need help with something in life, to look no further then yourself for the answer. Cause in the end you are the one that makes it happen! Not some made up God!

Answer 3

Sorry that your grandma died but everyone dies. Don't blame God for your problems. Everyone dies because of Adam and Eve since they disobeyed God (Roman 5:12) God does care about you he cares for everyone (1 Peter 5:7).God is only letting time pass by so that the people who do his will tell other people about him and because he doesn't want everyone to die. In the future all our problems are going to come to an end (Revelation 21:4). I seriously think that if you have a Bible at home that you should look these scriptures up, they may help you feel better.

Answer 4

I don't know why God didn't help you. I'm sorry that you're in pain, and I wish there was something I could do about it. I can tell you that I have gone through this kind of pain before, and I lived through it, and you will too.

It's my belief that there is no big God up in the sky, but that God is within every one of us. God is grieving with you for your grandma. God is resting in quietness with your grandma. God is in the family and friends who are offering you comfort.

I know this answer doesn't help a lot and it may not make any sense. But I can understand your pain and I feel for you. Make sure you talk to people you trust about your grief, maybe your pastor if you have one, or just maybe another person you trust.
and blessings on you.

Answer 5

I am sorry for your lost love one. When our time has come, we much go home to our Lord. Your grandma had a life job to do on earth by helping someone and she completed the job that God had given her to do. It may have been a small or large problem only she could solve. And I believe we all have a reason for being here. Remember your grandma has she was and let her guide you to a different level in your life now. God Bless You.

Answer 6

God did not let your grandmother die, he called her home. If you will open your heart and have understanding you will learn from the experience.
You say God did not help you when you needed help. Do you not understand that he is helping you even now? Every human must die and shed the physical body we inhabit on this planet.

Be greatful you has a wonderful grandmother who valued you, and loved you. Know that you were blessed. Believe and hold fast to all the lessons your grandmother taught you, and you will never lose her, because you will find she is forever alive in your heart.

Answer 7

You could get into some deep theology answering this question. (which I'd be glad to discuss if you want to) You could talk about Faith, personal choice, sin, and much, much, more... But the truth of the matter is that there is something you don't know about the situation, something you may never know - well until you get to heaven at least.
The loss of your grandma hurts. I struggled with this same question when mine died. When she died I made a choice to go to God and not run from him or be angry with him. I believe that choice put me in a position for him to show me certain things about what happened. I later found out some of the things I didn't know that applied to the situation.
The issue for you here is to know that God loves you, God is good, and God wants good things for you. Go to God and not away from him, after all - he is really the only one who knows exactly why.

Answer 8

Honey, G-d did not let your Grandmother die. Okay? It was just her time.

There is never any good answer for why people pass-away when they do. It is just a part of life that we must all learn to cope with. The Lord blessed you by giving you a wonderful Grandmother and enough time to develop a deep relationship with her. Celebrate the life that she lead and always carry her memory with you. Teach to others, what she taught you, and your Grandmother will never truly be gone.

Over time, you will still miss Grandma, but remember that Love is eternal. As she loved you before she passed away, and you loved her...the existence of that love has not changed.

I wish you the best of luck with your future, and I hope you find some answers that will bring peace to you.

Answer 9

God can only help people who have repented for all their sins. We all have something we havent repented for, and that is called sin. The remedy for this, is that God gives us a second chance, (which is happening right now) called "the rapture". He remakes everyone into spirit people (ghosts) and we all get a chance to repent for our wrongdoings.

Dont worry. You will most likely see your grandma again. Maybe God helped her more than you or I can imagine, even. Know that she is not in pain, and she can move about freely, and is watching over you.

God is GOOD, honey. Thank him, for helping you, in his mysterious ways. Then go and cry and grieve your loss. =(

And whoever posted that negative comment above me, well thats a load of crap. Sorry, but God loves us, and no I am not a blind Christian, I am pro evolution. I believe Genesis shows plenty of proof of evolution, and that it is not at all literal in the beginning. Just because you dont understand the bible, or anything else, is no reason to go around being RUDE.

Back to the asker. God loves you, so please dont turn your back on your faith in him. Like I said, we are all sinners, and God is the only one who can give us a second chance, after we die. That is his great promise, so you can know that right now, the rapture is going on, and God is working hard at remaking the dead people into spirit people. There ARE wicked dead people, but we havent reached the hour of judgement yet, I dont think .. Well I am not dead or a spirit so I wouldnt know, lol.
Anyways, right now, its between your Grandma and God, so she will make the right choice, and hopefully choose God, which means she will choose to live.

=)
