I prayed to god for the last six hours to heal my broken wrist but he did not answer it why?

Question

I know god answers people's prayers because all religious people have said so and yet mine goes unaswered. I've even poured some holy water on it and nothing.
Should I go to a priest and ask him to heal me since he is more connected to god than me or should I go to the emergency room?

Answer 1

Funny how, when it comes to something concrete and observable, this "god" never shows up.

stagefright maybe.

Answer 2

Have you asked yourself what these other people who have had their prayers answered did different to you?No, holy water does not do anything. have you prayed and communicated to God before this event?Are you asking humbly?I don't thinkyou should go to a priest bacause although they should be connected to God, and you might think they are, in reality they are not necessarily! you can communicate to God directly, he does not need you to go through any man the only perdson that you should go through, who is,definately more connected to God, above any human, is God's Son Jesus Christ, so, you can pray in the name of Jesus, yet not to Jesus. God will not intervene with miracles at this time, today but it is because of God, that your wrist will heal if you do go to the emergency rooms, so I suggest that you do go there and then also build your relationship with God because that is when he will answer your prayers too, that is if you take an interest in getting to know him God!not through a priest but through the Bible because God's word id the Bible not man's wether or not they be priests!Don't believe anything anyone tells you no matter how much they profess to be close to God they are only close to God, if they speak from the Bible!

Answer 3

Ok the holy water was probably preist pee and that wont help anything, except I did hear urine is good if you are haveing a heart attack to drink it....... God does according to his will not yours. People think god is going to pick them out of the millions that are sick or hurt and heal them. There is a bigger reason to him being able to help you. Maybe you lack the faith in him that you need. He dosent work the way you think he would, maybe he healed it and you dont notice it and overlooking that he answered your prayer just not the way you expected. GO to the hospital.... Youd have better luck getting medicine and pain pills than you would getting a priest to put in a good word just for you.

Silly fool, the body's amazing self-healing process has begun, and you don't even realize it!

Consider how fabulous the human body is. You can cut your finger - and within a week the cut has closed itself and barely a mark remains. Most broken bones, once set and immobilized, will fuse themselves back together with no further action required by a medical professional. Millions upon millions dangerous viral and bacterial infections are successfully endured each year, usually with no permanent ill effects.

And yet YOU want instant gratification - you want to snap your fingers and make everything all better. Open your eyes, my friend. God has designed the human body with self-recovery and self-healing in mind.

Answer 5

You prayed to god. Which god did you pray to? You did not even capitalize the name GOD.

You poured holy water over it. Is this Ganges river water? Or water from your toilet?

Your comment ""Should I go to a priest and ask him to heal me since he is more connected to"" tells me you are not even aware that there is no pecking order in True Christianity.......

I would be interested to know what kind of priest and which god you desire healing from --- AND WHY?


The GOD recognizes HIS OWN!

Answer 6

Go to the emergency room. Let the doctors treat your arm, and then God will answer your prayers by heeling over time.

Answer 7

My dear friend, I do pray that God uses your situation to give you a better understanding of our present state and relationship with God.

The God of the Bible, the God who created you and me and all that is around us, He who created all that we can see and all that we cannot see, He who can vapourise the galaxies in a bat of an eyelash... He is not our genie.

It has become very popular for people to say that we should believe in the power of prayer, as if this is what will enable God to act on our behalf. Please be very very careful when you hear such advise.

Prayer in itself is powerless. Prayer is a mere muttering of the lips, a fluttering of the tongue, sprays of saliva turning into mist... unless it a prayer that has been placed in your heart by God's Holy Spirit himself, to manifest your full and total reliance and dependence on God our Saviour.

Not that God wants to take the place of doctors and emergency rooms and firemen and police departments. But that God would be honoured to have us all recognise our total dependence on Him who created the doctors and the emergency rooms and the firemen and the police departments.

Here is what a very very gifted speaker once said:

"I believe that every particle of dust that dances in the sunbeam does not move an atom more or less that God wishes - that every particle of spray that dashes against the steamboat has its orbit, as well as the sun in the heavens - that the chaff from the hand of the winnower is steered as the stars in their course. The creeping of an aphid over the rosebush is as much fixed as the march of the devastating pestilence - the fall of...leaves from a poplar is as fully ordained as the tumbling of an avalanche."

The quote above is from Charles Spurgeon.

He did not say those things for us to become fatalists. Fatalists are those who believe that we are at the mercy of fate and events, impersonal and anonymous.

What Spurgeon was leading to was that we are all, even the atoms and the molecules, are at the mercy of a very personal and actively involved Sovereign God... whether we recognise it or not. God does not need our recognition or permission to work out ALL things according to His perfect plan. As our maker, it is simply His right.

As to whether a priest is more "connected to god than" you, please understand that God owes no one, absolutley no one any favours. Man's connection with God does not depend on human effort or desire, but on God's mercy. He will have mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom He wills He hardens. God is no respecter of persons. We will think a little too highly of ourselves if we claim otherwise.

Answer 8

You dont have enough faith. I'd go to the doctor, or pray for the gift of faith of healing. Everything comes as a gift from God, even faith and the act of faith healing is a gift from God. So if you want immediate relief, go to the doctor. If you can wait, then pray and mean it and put your faith in God to heal you and he will. He healed my rotator cuff injury.

Answer 9

Okay, so this guy's house is flooding and a bus comes to rescue him through the rising water. "No, God will save me", he says and continues to bail water.

The water rises and he is forced upward to the second floor. A boat putters by and someone yells for him to get in. "No, God will save me", he asserts and remains where he is.

Eventually he is on the roof, hanging onto the chimney and a helicopter lowers a rope. Again he refuses, adamant in his faith that God will save him.

So the man dies. He gets to heaven and is a bit perturbed at God. "Why didn't You rescue me?" he cries and God says "I tried. I sent a bus, a boat and a helicopter, but you refused to be saved."

So hon, go to the ER, God has already answered you by providing you with doctors and nurses ready and waiting for you.

Answer 10

God did answer your prayer - they are called doctors. You are not supposed to tempt God by such things if you want to be Biblical. Satan told Jesus to jump off a cliff and God's angels would uphold him. Jesus told him what I just told you. Why would you bother God to fix your wrist when we have doctors anyway? Learn your Bible yourself child rather than accept what others tell you is the truth.

Answer 11

Do not test the Lord your God. From what you wrote it doesnt sound like you expected him to heal it in the first place, therefore he cant because of your lack of faith. In the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, If you abide in me, ask, and it will be given to you. Ya have to live by what Jesus said to get an answer.
