Christian Help?

Question

Ok I've been praying for 4 years to God to help me become a actress. How come he hasnt answered my prayers? What must I do?

Answer 1

Try talking to a producer instead. Hey maybe he just answered your prayers. I am agnostic though.

Answer 2

Praying for God to guide you in your future is the greatest thing to do. I commend you for that, however, you need to keep in mind that God has two answers (as we all have) for something we ask for. Ultimately, your answer will be Yes or No. Even "maybes" become a "yes or no" answer (eventually).
What you must do is help yourself to find that start that you need. It isn't going to come to you, you have to go for "it". Continue to ask God to be with you in all you do. I hope that your dreams do come true, but if it wasn't meant to be, then, that's what needs to be accepted to. God has your best interest at heart. Sometimes, we don't always get what we want and we must understand that it's for the best.

Answer 3

God answers our prayers in his time not ours . It is also possible that God's plan for you is to do something else and not be a actress. Just because that is what you want it might not be God's plan for you , It might help if you pray to seek God's will for your life , and set your want aside . If you are earnest God will show you his will just be patient .

Answer 4

You are not in control of God. God doesn't want you to be an actress because he has some other purpose for you. By telling God what to do, you are saying that you are in control of God. You are the creation and God is the Creator, not the other way around.

Answer 5

Here's an idea, stop depending on God. Why don't you try harder to become an actress? Prayer isn't going to help, you need to start believing in yourself if you want to be a success.

Answer 6

God only helps those who help themselves. You can't pray to become an actress than sit on your duff, doing nothing.

Also, while you may have your heart dead set on becoming an actress, perhaps this is not the path for you. Perhaps, she is simply saving you from worse agony. Perhaps this is truely a blessing in disguise.

Answer 7

Maybe that is not what God has in store for you.

Read Jerimiah 29:11-12 " 11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. "

So, your prayer is a bit backwards. Start praying that God shows you His plan for your life.

Answer 8

God helps those who help themselves. If you want to become an actress, maybe you should take acting classes and look for local castings calls. If you live in a small town it may be difficult to make it big there.

Answer 9

Sometimes the answer is no.
That does not mean that you are not a good actress, it means that your life has a different purpose.
Try praying that God helps you to realize your true vocation, you might get more of an answer.

Answer 10

Psalm 37:4-5 says
"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this"

God has his own plan for you. Just be patient and wait. And I hate to tell you this, but maybe God's plan isn't for you to be an actress. But the good news is, whatever He has planned, it is so much bigger and better than what you yourself could have ever imagined. Good luck and God bless you!

Answer 11

For one thing when you pray you have to mean what you say and have faith in it when you do, And you can't expect everything to happen instantly prayer requires patience hang in there and make it happen for yourself if that is what your calling is or maybe God wants your calling to be on something else, Everything happens in life for a reason whether being prayer or situations in general.
