oh poor dear, I know how you feel.
Nothing wrong with your prayer, But I tell you the truth, the key is in what drives you and motivate you. Was it FAITH or FEAR.
"Faith is the substance of things hope for" while "fear is also the substance of things hope for"
it's funny but that how it works. Since you sound like you seriously in trouble and need some help. I try to give my times to share with you abit.
Faith is the evidence that what will happen in your future. But the fact is, if there's no faith, there's only fear left. That means, if what we have is fear... fear of bad things happen, fear of scum, fear of losing money, fear of losing your loved ones,.. then...
as an evidence of what you hope for... bam.. happen like what you hope for. It works like genie in the bottle, (becareful of what you wish).
But instead, if you fill your pray with full of faith. Try to imagine all the bad **** in your life altogether as one, and said to It, "I believe that it wont happen to my family" than BAM,.. happen like what you wish. That's why it always safe to back up your prayer and confession with the Word of God, with the verse of God's promises. Write it in a card, and put it in your prayer room everyday. every moment.
And remember.... FAIth is NOT THE ABSENT of fear.
FAith is not the ABSENT of Doubt.
So while you pray with faith,.. was the doubt is still came? WAs the fear still there?
YES!!
YES. it is. And Im sure it Will.
But, it doesnt mean that we only pray in faith if there's nomore fear or doubt, because it will never happen. That's not how it works.
Fear, faith, doubt, all can always come at the same time.
but what can make your prayer a difference is WHAT the thing that you choose. If there's a voice of doubt come in your prayer... CHOOSe to believe in faith. If there's a voice of fear come in your prayer... fear of this prayer wont work... fear that the scum will still coming to ur house... fear that you will keep losing money...
STOP it. and Throw it away, and choose to Believe in FAith, that only good things according to HIS Will that will happen. JUST TRUST Him and His promises, Believe that He always have a good plan for you. Keep confesing His word and promises.
Honestly sister, I can sense what you experiences it's a God's work in your life. What you encounter is a Process from God. It's still in His hand. Remember, there is no such strong Hero born in the time of peace. If you see the evidence of history, mostly of our greatest president is born after they overcome their biggest tribulation. Was them ever feel fear? Yes. Was them ever feel doubt? Yes. But they choose to believe in faith. and They succeed. And you no different from them. What they can do, you can do it too.
Start practicing your prayer of faith, until the voice of fear and doubt start to fade away,.. and BE a PRAYER Warrior
not a prayer WORRIER.
Cheers.

God doesn't hate you!!! He hates sin, not people. You've sure heard that, only I don't know if you really believe it. Bad things happen to everybody (no exceptions) and why is a question we can never answer. Maybe we'll know some day. More important is what you do in a situation like that. Maybe first of all you find a way out of that depression, it's making things look even worse than they are. I know because I have experienced it. When I am depressed, I always believe things to be true when in fact they are not. And nobody can convince me otherwise. Then after a while I start realizing it is depression speaking and not my usual self and then things start getting better because at least I can control what I think and how I feel. Antidepressants help too, only I've always been afraid of getting addicted so I only use them with caution.
And then another thing is do you really believe that God is good no matter what happens to you? I do and as much as I would like to blame Him for everything that happens to me, I can't. Even if He has allowed those things to happen with a purpose and I really suffer, it still doesn't change the facts that He is good and He loves me no matter what.
So don't lose faith, find a good friend to share things with and who can pray for you and eventually things will turn for the better.

I'm an agnostic.....and I don't think that you should blame God for your bad luck. Everybody goes through a rough patch or two. For some, the bad luck lasts longer than others. God has no control over you or anyone. Only you can change it. (Well, not the family member dying) but you get the point. Try to take some initiative instead of sitting and complaining. Make up some sort of savings plan so that you can one day get out of the crappy neighborhood you are in. Maybe the house you were wanting, that went to someone else, was a sign. You might find something even better down the road.
Try not to fret over your current situation. Stay calm, and try to work your way through it. It'll be over soon.....and you'll find happiness again.
Good luck.

I dont think any life is perfect. I personally don't beleive in god for that reason. But if you do maybe god gave you some good things your not seeing.
Death cannot be avoided, it is part of life.
Myabe you are looking at all the negatives and not seeing what you are blessed with.
Depression can make you dwell on things and will not make you feel hopeful. Try seeking some help from a counciller or perhaps getting medication.

It sounds like you have plenty to be grateful and thankful for. You said that the LORD blessed you with a husband to comfort and love you I assume? Some people don't have a tenth of what you are trying to save. Count your blessings and hang in there, the LORD says He will take your burdens right before you can't bare them any longer. The LORD knows us better than we know ourselves if you're going through this much, He must believe you can take it. Ask for the Holy Spirit to intervene in your prayers, because God says that we don't know how to pray or even what to pray for, maybe you're praying for the wrong things. I will pray for you as well.
PS: remember, that nothing that we go through is even close to the pain and anguish that our LORD and SAVIOR endured for our sins, so try to have patience while you wait on the Father to save you from your misery.
May God Bless You

God loves you my dear. The devil is the one who troubles us and does not want to see you happy. Consider the life of Job. Did he at any time think God hated him when he was faced with all the troubles, deaths in the family and bankruptcy. He was even in a much worser condition than you are in but He praised God anyhow. Be positive and Thank God in everything. One of these days you will have a testimony of the wonderous works of God in your life.

You blame God for the bad things in life, but did you ever praise and thank God for the good things in life? Just start blessing His name and be thankful for small nice things, and you might experience His help again.
God loves you, I'm quite sure of that.

I must say, God loves us all equally, but some people... the strong, will get more trials throughout their lives, yet He never gives us more than we can handle. It will all come to pass.
Read the book of Job; he got boiles from head to toe, lost everything he owned, his sons, daughters, wife killed, and yet he still humbled himself through it all. He ended up with more than he had started out with, and through it all we know... even the best of us go through trials, only the persistent will survive. Somewhere out there someone has it worse.

Instead of the self pity how about you get things in perspective? There are homeless people who never have to worry about buying a house and there are people with terminal illnesses whose problems are of more significance than yours. Life is tough-tough people overcome problems and grow spiritually. Be tough and stop whingeing.

1.GOD never hates his own creation , rather He loves &helps it to develop at its peak. Just accept heartly what ever happens to you (either good or bad) thinking that it is the will of the GOD .
2. Apply point 1 for ever and see the result.
