How many times has God let you down?
Do you still pray for no good reason, knowing that none of your prayers will ever be answered?

I'm not mad, I just accept that he's not there. And hence, never answers any prayers.

Gary Numan is but i'm not posting those lyrics here again let's just say his one cd Exile makes all of Marilyn Manson's cd's sound like they were written by the pope.
God will meet you half way on prayers he doesn't just go granting wishes like some kind of attention hungry genie. I used to pray for money and it never came then i prayed for the opportunity to make more money and now i'm swimming in it. If God just granted every prayer that came his way and interviened whenever asked then faith would not be a requirement.
God has never let me down because i only expect from him what i produce from my self he provides the beat but it's up to me to do the dance.

Who is mad at God? All who are lacking in knowledge of Him.
Prayers are always answered. Sometimes the answer is no. Other times the answer is "I'm ignoring you because you give me good reason to."
How many times has God let me down? I can state, unequivocally, NEVER.

God never lets me down. He knows what is best even though sometimes I think I know better. Its all in His time. My prayers have been answered, and sometimes the best answer to a prayer is no.

Hey, I feel your pain...as a Christian I feel your pain. These last few years in my life have been very, very difficult. Even in the past when I had so many issues and problems and became angry with God. He knows how you feel. A lot of time we blame God for problems that we ourselves create. Sometimes God allows problems in our life for His purposes and not ours. I think the answer is to get into an alignment with God, so that we don't suffer as much...pain. I've been betrayed by everyone...you aren't alone. The good deal is that Jesus came to Earth to feel all that pain that you feel and even more. He was tortured and murdered, and was betrayed by His closest friends...and He knows how you feel. He intercedes on behalf of those who let Him. Sometimes, we don't see the big picture...we are like threads in a woven tapestry looking at it from one side, but if you turn it over there is a beautiful picture. We can't see that picture yet. In the Bible Many Godly men suffered hardships, what then if us sinners endure the same? Not that we want to, not that we should desire that in our life, but maybe suffering produces something in the end we don't see yet. I hear you man, but be wise...love God anyways and forgive the Lord, because HE gave you something...Your life...your pleasures... your whatever it is to be grateful for...focus on the positive and positive returns to you...focus on the negative and negative shall return to you...often times we create our own reality...God is Good, coming to Him in Faith and Humility you will see, but He rejects the proud and unbelieving. I certainly understand what you feel, but life is 90% attitude and 10% work. Change your perception to positive and it will be better for you and me...I am still learning, but this is what I have seen.

I was mad as hell at god when I was a kid. I was so frustrated that he would not answer any of my prayers. They weren't for foolish stuff either like a new toy. I asked him to help me stop judging the other kids based on stereotypes, because I had a real problem with that. I knew it was wrong but needed help to stop.
I also prayed to him to please help this poor kid's family because they had no money at all, so the kid couldn't go on field trips or go to the prom. Also he did not have a winter coat. Nobody helped his sorry butt. I would have give him a coat but I was not old enough to work and my parents refused to give me the $75 or whatever to buy him one.
God did not answer any other prayers either and I finally just gave up on his *** and put my faith in scientific theories with PROOF!!!

They say : god answers all prayer .
Sometimes the answer is no.
We are put in certain situations to ether build, strength , character, to make us humble.
Could be anything.
Only the spirit knows. .

God never promised me a life without pain. He only promised to be there to help me through those times. He loves me unconditionally. I don't want to see my child hurt but during his life he has been hurt. I can be there to help in through the tough times. God says I will never leave you nor forsake you. He never has.

meh, everyone knows deep down that prayer is nothing but false hope. (everyone who says different is only in denial).
probabilities, coincidences exist. prayer fixes nothing. ive yet to see statistics that prove that those who pray get what they want more then those who dont. in reality, those who work for what they want get more then those wo dont.
