I admit that I disobeyed God and I got into real trouble and want him to end my life now coz my life's all mess up now as a result of disobedience. But, why after months of prayer he doesn't turn my mistakes for my good. He makes me realize that he forgives but he doesn't forget and no matter how hard I pray he'll make me pay triple for my sin. So, I'm just gonna stop praying and save this time to work harder on my life instead, to make up my past mistakes. God is just not fair.

No, it is Life that is not fair. Part of life is learning to deal with a LOT of things that are not fair and some of them are not going to change no matter how much you pray.
You definitely should take an active part in working on fixing your life. God isn't going to do it all for you. Maybe none of it. But it never hurts to ask. Just realize that sometimes the anser is "no".

God is always fair. One thing is for sure, what a man sows he is gonna reap. Every decision you make has it's consequences either for good or for bad. I'm sure God wanted to spare you the consequences of your actions but you disobeyed.
Right now you are praying to God to take away the consequences but that would be interfering with the decisions you have made. Disobedient to God is the same as rebellion against God. In other words telling Him you know better than Him. So you did what you thought at the time would be best. God respects every decision you make either good or bad.
Now He still loves you and I surely believe He will help you. I don't think He will take away the consequences but He will be there to help you go through them. Prayer is not to take away the problems but to help you go nearer to God so He good give you strenght and wisdom to solve them.
For me right know you are blaming God for your choices and that isn't fair. God forgives and forgets but He cannot take away the consequences. The reason for that is for you to see and experience how bad it is to sin. So next time you would think twice before you make the same choices you have made.
Now continue to prayer and tell God exactly what you think of Him. That you are angry and don't want to pray to Him. Ask Him what He wants to do or what you have to do right now.
I'm sure He will respond if you let Him.

First of all God does not make you pay for your mistakes, and things happen in our lives for a reason. You have to go through things in life to make you strong and God has a plan for all of us. God always forgives and no matter what he forgets believe it or not, but maybe you have to go through this to make you stronger and to make you realize not to make the same mistake again. Also you know the enemy has a contract out on us and he is allowed to test us, but never more than we can bare. So you may feel the fire right now, but the bible says in 1Peter 6-7:.....
6. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
7. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Hold on brother and keep on praying, dont cease because thats just what the enemy want s you to do. Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. God bless you dont give up.

A lot of people have the mistaken idea that God and Christ punish us or bestow blessings left and right at their whim. They don't. Human beings have free will and a destiny. When something doesn't go right or someone ruins a situation for themselves, they often try to blame God for it. In reality, their own stupidity got them into it. Even if we pray every day, we might not have a life that pleases us. That may just be our particular battle for that life. What you should realize is that God and Christ NEVER punish. It is the world and our karma with people that may feel like the punishment. Life can be difficult, but you should try to keep your faith in the spiritual world even if it won't answer your prayers. Devotion doesn't mean you stay faithful as long as you get your way. Accept Christ on blind faith.

The bible says that you shouldn't tempt the Lord thy God. God forgives as soon as one repents. He will cast your sins into the Sea of Forgetfulness and you will be as far from them as the east is from the west.
As for your mistakes being turned for you good... They already have. You have learned a valuable lesson. Work hard on your mistakes and be a better person. God gave you life, free will and salvation. You have to decide what to do with it.

Everything you go through failures, disappointment, disobeying makes you a stinger person but less valuable but more valuable not less able to love but more able to love. God loves you enough NOT to let you get away with whatever sin you committed, BUT there is mercy and love at the foot of the cross and God loves you. Realize you cant do anything without Gods strength and mercy and grace.

God gave you a free will and that's what you did with it. Actions have consequences. Whatever torture you are feeling you brought on yourself. If I robbed a liquor store tomorrow and got caught and convicted and sent to prison, and repented of my sin, I would still be a child of God. But my Brother wouldn't come and break me out of prison. God forgives and forgets, and His ways are just. Don't stop praying. He loves you.He doesn't want you to end your life. Wait on Him. He's coming.

First you do not know God because he does not punish you for making mistakes. He does forgive but you re resposible for how your life is Remember God gave us free will and choice. It is not messed up because of disobedience it is messed up because of the choices YOU made. You have to fix it. And you can continue to pray and work harder at your life that you messed up. You can ask him for guidence. And the one to blame for mankinds hard times is Satan so blame the right one.

God does not torture us for disobedience. Perhaps though, when we are disobedient, we suffer the consequences of our mistakes and blame God. God is just; but His justice may not make sense to mere mortals. Instead of praying to God to turn your mistakes around, humble yourself and pray for forgiveness. He may be waiting for an apology.

hold on tiger....God does not torture. just that plain and simple. As for your disobedience....that was forgiven and forgotten long ago. You are the only not forgetting. As for the repercusions of our actions.....it takes time for all to heal and you fixing it does not make it better. Your guilt is self imposed and you need to put it out the door and close the door. Move on.
