I know what you're saying. On the one hand, they say God can't help people in need because he gave us free will and all the suffering is the work of people abusing their free will. But on the other, they think they can appeal to God for help and he will do something about it. God can't help and allow free will at the same time. Which is it people?

Some do, some don't. When some people find themselves in a pit so deep they can't get out, they see that God has a long arm.
Perhaps He did allow the situation so someone would turn to Him.

More definitive than interrogative, but I'll take a stab...
The simple fact is that when we are put in grave situations, our brain tries to fill in the gaps. The levity of peril really puts a hamper on the facts that are available to us. Thus our brain looks out for even the remotest of explanations to appease itself. It easy to see why the brain could tend to lean towards divine acts at the end.

we can hint out the Supremacy of God in such diverse techniques. yet, in very actuality, God holds all the playing cards. we want to wish as a lot as accessible to a minimum of ameliorate all international issues which incorporates starvation, ailment, pollution, human rights violations, and crime. we'd want to imagine of praying to God for the mystic powers to ameliorate those type of issues. In different words, we'd want to imagine it a effective theory to be a superhero. God can furnish us superhero powers. yet, we want to ask God if it really is what He would favor. after all, we do not quite want to make a huge teach of flying over homes like superman, and so on and so on. God can in basic terms replace issues round and the subsequent component you comprehend each and every component is in basic terms astounding and everyone is chuffed. So, in basic terms pray to God in spite of the indisputable fact that and whenever you are able to. Pray daily.

You got yourself into that situation - by your own choices. God allows free choice and is not the cause of every ill that befalls humankind. We turn to Him because we know we've messed up and need help to get it fixed!

Sometimes God allows us to get in a fix to teach us a lesson or for some other reason and sometimes thru our own freewill we put ourselves in a bad postion. We then need our Heavenly Father to get us out.

This may help: Paddy was leaning over the edge of a cliff watching the sea below. He slipped. As he fell he grabbed a small bush and hung there. He called out 'Please God, help me'. Suddenly the clouds opened, a ray of sunshine shone down and a loud voice said 'Have no fear my son, tonight you will be with me in Paradise'. Paddy looked up and again shouted 'Can anybody else help me...............'.

No, they put themselves in that situation. If they only ask for God's help when they are in trouble...then they are going about it the wrong way.

Sadly, it's human nature to forget God in the midst of prosperity and blessings.

No... circumstances, poor choices, others with demontic spirits cause trials and tribulations... however, it is God that delivers you from these things and places you on higher ground.
