The lack of being struck down by a lightning bolt should give you a clue.

The supposed god knows everything. If he made you, then he must be ok with whatever you have done, or whatever you will do.
If he doesn't like what you've done, or what you will do, then he wouldn't make you... A perfect being makes no mistakes... Whatever you do, he intended for you to do... Really, you have no free will, you are gods will...
This means that he intended 9/11 to happen, and he intended the holocaust to happen, and he intended the Iraq war to happen... etc.
But if he is supposed to be totally benevolent, then this means he must not be all knowing, or must not be all good...
The descriptions of god from the bible do not add up... They contradict each other... Clearly, the god of the bible does not exist...

The time God created us he did not assume we would live up to His expectations. He created us on a premise that if we do not live up to His expectations what would He do? So, God is never shocked and surprised by our actions. Therefore, why do you want to know if God is satisfied with you or not?

God is always satisfied with you. The question is 'Are you satisfied with your Self?"
Thus in life we pursue and strive to achieve the answer to this question, day in and day out, until we actualize and come to realize the answer we pose.

There is doing, and there is trying. I like to think that god honors people who try, as well as people who do.
If you can walk through life with an open and honest heart, with compassion for others, with the idea of making true and meaningful connections with other human beings, I mean... god's gotta like that, right?
Ask yourself, if you were god, why would you make a human being? Why would you make humans, and what would you want for them, what would you want from them? Would you want them to kill each other for you? Would you want them to live in peace for you? Would you want them to help each other?
If they worshiped you, and some of them had different names for you, would you still honor all of their prayers for love and family and home, no matter what language or religion?
Honestly, I think finding favor with god starts in finding favor with yourself, respecting yourself, counting your blessings, and celebrating everyday with all you have.
You might not ever know if god loves you. You might not ever get to see or meet god. Anyone who knows the answer to these questions is far away from the material world. You can only work with what you have, and perhaps that is god's way of having fun with us!
Strive for excellence and understanding, walk strong with hugs for your loved ones. Good luck!

No one can know what Allah (S.W.T.A.) thinks or plans except HE (S.W.T.A.) Himself. But HE (S.W.T.A.) has shown us ways 'How to lead a righteous life on this earth' so that we may be able to get a place in heaven in Hereafter. Only those who followed Allah (S.W.T.A.)'s command completely will be from among the righteous and gifted one's in the hereafter and the evil ones will have there part of doing wrongs by going to hell.
Only on the day of judgement will everyone know his/her result of worldly life. The Only Judge and Witness of that day ALLAH (S.W.T.A.) will decide who is worthy of what. Allah (S.W.T.A.), the most merciful and forgiver, forgives and blesses those who seeks His (S.W.T.A.)'s forgiveness and mercy honestly and sincerely.
Till then keep asking the Creator, the Sustainer, the one and only Allah(S.W.T.A) to guide you to righteous path and help you in being so, and hope for Allah(S.W.T.A.)'s forgiveness and mercy.
Ameen.

[98:7] Those who believed and led a righteous life are the best creatures.
[98:8] Their reward at their Lord is the gardens of Eden with flowing streams, wherein they abide forever. GOD is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. Such is the reward for those who reverence their Lord.

Ask someone who is self righteous to let you know.I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be more then willing to tell you how much God approves of you.Oh, wait.I'm sorry, I am getting people who point fingers and call out "sinner" with people who praise others.

When you see that you are walking the difficult path, to the narrow gate, not the easy path to the wide gate.
