Does prayer work? Hundreds of millions prayed for God to stop Hitler, but God did nothing and 30 million+ died. Either God is heartless, powerless, both, or does not exist at all.

God is able to help you. Many times, just when you think things are hopeless, He comes to the rescue and makes things better and in some cases solves the entire problem. Don't worry about all the sins you have committed. God is a loving and forgiving God, who doesn't hold your past against you once you ask for forgiveness and let Him know how sorry you are that you did those things. He said that He would forgive us of our sins. And that fact that you are aware of this is proof that you are on the right road. The job of Satan is to have you full of fear and doubt. Do not be afraid to ask for what you need from God. He is a right now God. However, make sure you're being honest with yourself and with God. Be sincere and be open to the answer He gives. If you like, I'll pray with you and for you that your situation is resolved in a way that is good for you. And have faith, your situation will work out. As a matter of fact, not only will I pray with you, but i'll ask the entire church community to pray with and for you. You are not alone and things WILL work out!!!

first, pray for forgiveness of your sins and turn from them. You shouldnt be afraid. this is why Christ came; to take away our sins. all you have to do is accept Him and ask for forgiveness. The answers to your prayers could be as simple as asking for forgiveness. Not to sound religious, but I believe that God will allow troubles to come into our lives so that we will refocus on Him again and begin to pray and have a relationship with him. Just talk with him. This is what God wants most from us - a relationship. That is the main reason we were created - So God could have a relationship with us. He gets jealous when we put other things before Him, and sometimes He needs to make some waves in our lives so we remember to spend time with him. Just Start praying and spending time with Him.

Pray from your heart. Do not be disappointed if your prayer is not answered on the spot. Believe in your heart that whatever happens (whether your prayer is answered or not), it is in your best interest. Maybe Allah wants to purify you. May be there is something your mind, as limited as our human minds, cannot perceive Allah is protecting you from. Let go of your past. We all sin and make mistakes. However there is always room for repentence since you are really sorry for what you did and intend never to do it again. Allah is the Merciful and the Forgiving, so do not despair, sister :)

If you really want to hear from God you must trust that He has the best answer. You must pray to God with a broken and sincere heart.
James 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Your thoughts are prayers that basically create the circumstances you live in in life.
If you ask to be forgiven and still have doubts, your thoughts will conflict and God does not help those in doubt. Because when you doubt God, youre making him sad.
You need to understand that you shouldnt be doubtful of God. Believe firmly that the Creator of Heavens, seas, skies will forgive you, for He is Infinite and so is His Mercy.
You will be forgiven, keep the faith sweety pie.

God is good He knows what we need before we do. When we doubt the out come of what God has for us , we are showing a lack of Faith in Him. We are telling Him He can't handle the situation, but we are forgetfull creatures and have to be reminded that Jesus already felt uncertainty and paid the ultimate price for our fears. There is nothing that we should be afraid of.

John chapter 5 states
24"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. 25I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. 27And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
John chapter 3 verse 3
3In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.[a]"
Sometimes Gods answer seems slow to us but repent ask forgiveness and the Lord will forgive all your sins as if they never happened

first of all repent ( ask God to forgive your sins)
second God does not just answer our needs like a
magical ferry, he's God & he knows what is best & his
timing is best too ( he's timing is not always the same as
our & sometimes his will for us may be different too)
just trust & obey & rely on him to get you through
what ever hard times you face, there is a blessing in the storm & you may not see the blessing until the storm is
over & done with, take care

Get on your hands and knees and ask Jesus Christ to help you and save you - telling him all of your sins and cares. He will hear you when you ask for His forgiveness and tell Him your problems. He is waiting for you. Don't be afraid - just go to Him. Blessings to you and I will be praying for you.
