Why is God so cheap that you have to beg him before he finally gives you something?

Question

To be honest, I'm very tired of asking God for help. I've endured many temptations just for God but apparently it seems that he doesn't care what I do. I have problems and many psychics have written me wanting to help but I refused because I know that my God is a jealous but why won't he makes them stop writting or why won't he deliver me from my problems? Is he fair?

Answer 1

He is fair! God wants what's best for you. If you're praying every night for a million dollars, then heck no, that's not going to help you make it back to Him. But if you're praying for missionary experiences, a stronger testimony, and better family relationships, then oh yeah, God will probably say yes. How do you expect Him to answer you? Do you expect Him to appear before you and say "Here is what you wanted. sorry I took so long."? I guess that is possible, just unlikely. usually He sends the Holy Ghost to manifest it unto you. These answers can come as a warm feeling inside our hearts meaning yes, or cold meaning no. sometimes God even says "Not yet" He's a caring Father and He loves you. He loves all of us. He is absolutely NOT "cheap". God hears and answers every prayer. Pray to the Father in the name of Jesus Christ and you will recieve and answer if you really search for one and pray with intent. Moroni 10:4-5 says "....I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things." 2nd Nephi 32:3 says "Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Chirst. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do." 2nd Nephi 32:5 says "if ye will enter in by the way, and recieve the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do." Show and tell, buddy! God, cheap? He sends so many things to you already. the body you're in, the agency you have, the computer you're on --- and you're calling Him cheap! He also sent His only begotton Son Jesus Christ to die for you so you can achieve eternal salvation in heaven forever! Cheap? huh? no way! and opposition builds character. all things happen for a reason. God is fully aware of what's happening in your life. and He DOES care. He loves you! imagine you have a daughter who is running around with a paring knife at age two. would you step back and say "well, she has her agency." NO! You'd say "NO!" and take it away. that's what a loving parent does. problems are a part of life. they happen to everyone. it's all in your attitude and how you choose to look at things. and psychics are fakes!

Answer 2

If you trust all your faith in psychics you will be disappointed. Some may give you guidance but most are not very informative and shouldn’t be telling you things that you don’t need to hear. I can understand your anger, with GOD, asking him for answers or to help with current problems or situations in your life and it seems like nothing it working or God is doing nothing. I’m in a period in my life where I am asking for something and nothing seems to be working out. This frustration is felt my millions of people world wide, and you have a right to your anger and feelings. I don’t think its God being cheap with people and that he is up there playing puppet master with humanity. I think that whatever hurtful situation is happening in life we are suffering it for a reason, that for the moment we can’t understand. That in 10 to maybe 20 years or more we would have looked back and said “Oh that’s why that happened”. It may not be fair but it will make sense. Just try to find your faith and if that is lost, than honor yourself and trust yourself. We all have the power to Handel suffering with GRACE and HUMILITY.

Answer 3

Maybe isn't your attitude. Are you under the impression that God owes you something? Are you being a " Christian " because some one sold you God? It doesn't work that way. Either you be a Christian to follow God, or you don't. There is no in between.

And maybe, just maybe you can try to solve the problems yourself. God isn't your servant. If you try, He will help. That much I've seen.

Best wishes.

Answer 4

That's not how it's done.

If you want to bring God into the equation you will need to Thank Him not ask or beg.

An attitude of gratitude will magically frame your affirmations for successful results.


Affirmations, or as I prefer to call them, Verbal Remedies work by enacting your creative visualization. The way to write and recite your own precision affirmations is to make your statements: Positive, Present, Personal and Specific.

Answer 5

The Bible says that our ways are not God's ways. Some times what is best is for us to struggle for a while. (Like a moth breaking out of its cocoon...If you help the moth break out of the cocoon its wings will not be strong enough to fly. It is the struggle to get out of the cocoon that strengthens it's wings.) If you are SAVED God always answers your prayers. Sometimes the answer is YES sometimes it's NO and sometimes he says WAIT. If you are not SAVED or if you are saved but not right with God (meaning you have sins you haven't repented for.) The Bible says that God does not hear your prayers. You get right with God by confessing your sins and repenting of them.

Answer 6

The problem is that you are looking at your problems and not looking at God. He has already delivered you from your sin, if you are a true follower. What more do YOU want?
God's sun shines on the wicked as well as the righteous.

Answer 7

What else do you want. I imagine that you're not starving because you at least have the means to access the internet. Maybe he recognizes that you are selfish and just want,want,want.

Be sincere (which it sounds like you're not) and God will give you what you need. It wont just fall out the sky. He'll give you the means to get it yourself.

Answer 8

God isn't cheap. It doesn't work like that. You can't just go and ask God for help when you need it. Have you prayed, gone to church and done good deeds ? If so, then your wishes should be granted. Be patient.

Answer 9

He'll keep allowing you to remain in the same circumstances until you learn what you are here to learn. Sometimes our prayers are answered in ways we don't even realize. IE: you ask to be a better christian and God puts you to the test. If you fail, you'll continue being tested until you get it right.

Answer 10

God wants to see how strong you are, so when you get to Heaven, He will know how much to give you. The pain you experience in this world will be a tool to measure pleasure in Heaven.
