If there's really is a God, why don't God talk to us, be with us. help us in trouble, help me in my severe depression. I want to know God before I die. When am I going to know about God.

That's why the Bible was COMLETED. He's There!
He doesn't EXPOSE himself to mankind anymore because its NOT NEEDED. We have everything about him we need written down. All you have to do is read and study. Its called Faith, and without it you are nothing. Why doe's GOD suddenly owe mankind anything? Because he made us? lol. Please, he has suffered on behalf of us and how many gods would do that? NONE. He's there for you, talk to him in humility and contrition and with and "open face, so that you can soften his face." In other words, be honest and heart-felt and close your "talk or prayer" with "in Jesus' name, amen" and he WILL hear you! You DON'T have the right to ask for anything selfish or to expect answers, he's not some magic genie that gives us what we wish for, as Christ taught his apostles on the night before he died in the "Lord's Prayer" it was a lesson in how to pray, and in it, it starts, "let thy kingdom come, let they will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven," so we see here that instead of asking for ourselves we should ask for GOD'S will first to be done, THEN it may be unselfish to ask for something for ourselves.

God is all around you... in everything that makes you smile or even just a little bit happy... Please understand that God DOES talk to us, but most of us are too busy in our everyday lives to really be able to be still and listen... your instincts are God talking to you and giving you warning. God (i think) doesn't allow most to see him because that is the right we all get, as believers, when we die and are admitted into heaven. One must first 100% believe that there IS God, and he has done quite a few wonderful things for us... then, and only then, will you start to see God's work. when you ask for help and hold steadfast in the belief that God will help, you will start to see changes (small ones at first, but one must start with baby steps)... God LOVES to be thanked too!!! He thrives (i think) on the appreciation for what he has given, so be sure to thank him before you ask for more. be gracious for what you have and have been given that so many people haven't.
you are in your first step of knowing God, too... because you want to.
Depression is tough... i am a firm believer that a person, given the right support group, can turn himself from depression(rather than being medicated), but it is going to be a long, hard road...
just don't give up hope in God and all that He can do for you... believe first with all your heart, surround yourself with people who know the TRUE loving, compassionate, understanding and non-judgmental God, and pray... the power of gracious(not too greedy) prayer goes a long way!
Good luck, and God Bless

God loves all this children. sent his son jesus to die for our sins.
Jesus blood covers everyone sins.
ok your first question. yes there is a God. God does talk to us, when you think you are doing something wrong God tells you hey man i dont think you should do this. or more imporant in dreams, or if you have a relationship with God. you will not only hear him you will always know his voice. he does help when were in trouble.He wants you to learn from your mistakes.hes not a genie who grants wishes. you say your in a depression.
dont give up in your life. i cant tell you why you are depressed
but i know when you pray your prayers go before god. they must be cleansed threw the blood of christ. but as they go to heaven. there is a great war going on. between satans army of fallen angels and Gods faithful angels who bring the prayers before God. That is why it takes so long. A wise man once said.when you pray go into a closet and tell noone. pray and fast. for a mounth. God gives us the desires of our hearts. what ever you want. he will see all your needs are taken care of. but you have to believe. and trust in God. his time is not like our time.

That would defeat the purpose of faith. And as for your severe depression, get over it. How about that? You choose to be depressed, and why? I'm guessing it's for no big reason, your mommy or daddy probably forgot to take you to a soccer game, and that meant that they don't care.... Sissy, get over it and move on with your life. Nobody's gonna slow down just to cheer you up. It's a cold world out there, and you're not fit to live in it yet. You should find a way to get over it before you get into the real world, because it's not going to be as easy as mommy and daddy.

God is spirit. He did show his self to mankind through his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. He talks to everyone through his written word the Bible. God helps you every day, you breath, walk, see, think, feel. You don't appreciate what he has given you. If you thank him every day, just for giving you another day to live and try again to do for others rather than yourself, you will soon get over your depression.

He does all those things you just asked but you have to be willinging to allow him to. It's funny a while ago I was thinking. hmmm.... God what is gonna happen when we are all in heaven with you? Everyone is gonna wanna hang out with you...What about me? I want to sit next to you also but there will be so many of us. And he said to me...The same way you all are near me now! Which meant spiritually. The Lord is with me everyday! and he loves me so much! I would suggest that you open your heart to God and ask him to reveal himself to you! and you will be so amazed at the things that he may have been trying to show you but your heart was hardened and you wouldnt see!

I pray that God will enter into your heart and open your eyes to his existence. I pray that you will seek him now in the name Jesus by opening the Holy Word of God that he may revealed himself to you. I stand in the gap for Corey that you will forgive him for his sins and wash away fear and doubt. The Lord rebukes depression in the name of Jesus. I pray that God cleanse you from all unrighteousness and renew your mind. Satan no longer has reign over your life and you belong to God. I pray that God's love and peace be upon you so that you may have comfort in knowing that you are his child and that He loves you with all of his heart. God, please increase Corey's faith in you today! In the name of Jesus, Amen.
May God's face continue to shine on you daily.
God will deliver you and you shall a testamony to others of a God's goodness and love.

Corey. God does show himself to us. He shows us through Christ and through the Bible. God speaks to us through His word, and His presence is with us when we put our faith in Him. He gives us the Holy Spirit who dwells within our heart when we put our faith in Jesus, and helps us...
If you sincerely want to seek there are plenty of ways to do so:
1) Find a local bible believing church.
2) Many books at Christian book stores
3) Ask a friend who knows God about God.
**I'd be more than glad to introduce God to you, you can email me at nicksterlee@yahoo.com

You are never going to know about god... he/she/it does not exist. The best you can do is DELUDE yourself into thinking that you know about god. It's easy... there are plenty of people right here in this forum that are practically drooling in their anticipation of 'helping' you, and this validating their OWN delusions.
Or, you can learn to think for yourself, and get all of this nonsense out of your head. You will be much better off for it.
