Answer 1

God allows us to go through things in life as test and trials. We must go through these things in order to strengthen our faith. God will never leave us nor forsake us but he wants us to keep believing and have faith in him.
When we are down and out and we feel all alone that is us walking in the valley. When we are feeling great and feel love in our life that is us on top of the mountain. God is with us every step of the way. He will deliver us through whatever we are going through. He doesn't want to deliver us from our test and trials but he wants us to strengthen our faith and learn from each choice and step we take.
Just ask God to help you through what you are experiencing. Ask him to help deliver you through your troubles. I know he listens and I know he cares. It might be his way of getting your attention.

Answer 2

Keep praying...God IS real & He IS there. How do I know?...One time I was thinking...thinking, mind you & not out loud...of something I was contemplating doing. God told me in words I could hear that if I did, I'd go to prison. Needless to say that brought me back to reality...fast. Then I started thinking again...this time that I had only been thinking, there was no one in the house...where did the words come from?....Trust me, God is real & God is there, & yes God hears you. I always say...God has three answers to prayer...Yes, No & Wait. Hang in there, keep your faith...& pray always 'Thy will be done.' Sometimes God knows that something is not good for us...or that there is a better answer even than what we're asking for. So even if you don't understand, keep praying, keep trusting, & God will not let you down.

Mate this is a common feeling that many believers often face.

My advice is this:
Don't give up on God. Ever.

Don't look at the circumstances, or what you can 'see' happening around you- trust that God has your best interests in mind and that He will answer your prayers when He knows it is time, not when you think it is time. Because God knows what and exactly when you need things/changes/miracles etc.

You may, for example, be praying and asking God for a specific thing to happen in your life. However, if it is not part of God's plan for your life that this thing should happen in your life- then this thing will not happen.

You need to discover God's purpose and individual Will for your life, and then you need to pray and ask God for God's will, not your will, to occur and come into being in your life.

Also, you may 'feel' far from God, but remember not to rely on 'feelings'. This may be Satan trying to pull you away from God because satan knows God has something awesome in store for you, which you may not receive if you give up on God. Don't give up on God because God will never give up on you.

Just keep on praying, reading the bible, praying some more, and spending time with other strong believers who will be able to help you, give you good advice and pray with you.

Even if you feel like doing something ungodly, be strong and don't give in to temptation. God could be testing you to see if you are spiritually strong enough to stand with him no matter what. God tests people because He may have a purpose for you (one of many maybe) but He may want to know if you are ready for it, or whether you will just give up on HIm when times are rough.

Be strong, fear not, and always trust that God is working in you and your life, even if you yourself can't 'see' it taking place.

Answer 4

God never ignores you. He's with you ALL of the time. He always answers our prayers, just sometimes not the way we want Him to. Just remember...He is in total control and will not put you through anything you can't handle in life. The Bible tells us that.

I've been through some times when I thought things were as bad as they could ever be, but since then, the Lord has blessed me with more than I EVER deserved.

Please don't ever give up hope or lose your faith in the Lord. He knows what is best for us. There are times in everyone's lives when they are struggling. It may not be obvious to us all the time, but everyone has problems. Don't be like some people who give up completely and just go downhill for the rest of their lives.

People will listen if you need to talk....

Don't give up.

Answer 5

He's not ignoring you... it just feels that way.
Many times, we think He's not there because we can't feel His presence... but He is there.
It's like when you're sick in bed & a loved one is just in the next room, close by... you don't see them or hear them, but... you know they're there.
Just because you don't see evidence of your prayers, it doesn't mean He's not working on it, to get done, whatever needs to be done.
It took Him a week to create everything (in the beginning), so he needs you to give Him just a little more time & He'll come thru for you.
The circumstances we go thru, test us... as many of life's stormy circumstances can do... to make us see if we're true believers or not.
What has helped me thru so many of life's storms is to>>> always remember & never forget... Jesus saves... no matter what else may fail... Jesus always saves.

Answer 6

Keep the Faith! God works in His perfect time, and He will!!! Persevere. Be strong and you will reap the rewards. As for the other post, sorry to say but if God comes to take His children, there will be no Earth for you because part of that prophecy is that earth will be destroyed and a new one will be built for His people. It's in the Word of God.

Answer 7

u r veru much wrong,just enter deep into meditation and experience the real truth urselfwithout entering into the inner kingdom u will never know what HE wish from u,so be positive and live with the present moments,true prayer is to enter within not outside,u have already experienced that outer prayer has not paid u and u r in the depressed state,this is the outcome of extrovert life,so be introvert now and feel the difference.

Answer 8

God ignoring you is a lie the enemy wants you to believe. Keep holding on to God's promises. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Read the book of Psalms and Job. Perhaps God is bringing you to a new level of faith. Learning to trust Him in whatever situation you are in. Faith is the evidence of the things unseen. Be strong & take heart!

Answer 9

first of all, the fact that you have a rough life right now, is not God's fault! second of all you're praying to the wrong guy, God doesn't help people! It's not his job....you should pray to your guarding angels, or....other spirits that could help you!but not God!
he can't do anything! believe it or not this(your problems) is happening for your own good


I hope you believe me....or at least try this way

Answer 10

I know it's a sick careless joke but I want to prove that I fear no God and no prophet not The Father or Sun or The Holy Smokes-I love life and Mother Earth is dying because religious people think that there is a better place to go to than here and I pray your God takes you all soon to that wonderful place in the universe called heaven so that we who love life here can enjoy our big blue ball of beauty before you trash it by forgiving yourself each day that you are just trying to live the good life here before you go there-what's sad is that it isn't a joke anymore and My Mother is fighting you because you are causing her to die-like you when you are ill your tempreture goes up-you sweat-your body convulses and you can't see it because you are saved and she is damned-Please God take these religious ones to their place of glory-very soon give them their hearts desires so that my Mother can live and those of us who love her can live in her glory-Not too funny when I think about it GEZUS?
