Why does Jesus keep failing me?

Question

He's let me down EVERY TIME I've needed him! What is up with this guy? Where's the accountability?

Wow. I wish Jesus was Santa Claus! That would be awesome!

Also, I was just joking Jesus doesn't let me down! He thinks my antics are hilarious. It's the "believers" that bore him.

Answer 1

Me too. He told me he was going to be on time for work today, and he showed up an hour late, reeking of malt liquor. You are talking about Jesus Ramirez, right?

Answer 2

That's not true. Jesus has never left you. If you ever felt or experienced despair or failure, remember that you are still blessed.

I think I can summarize my advice into four points.

1. Remember the poem "Footprints in the sand."

Recall that Jesus has always promised that when the author only saw one set of footprint in some moments his life, it was then the He carried him through those times.

2. What you lose, God gives tenfold.

When you lose something or fail at something, remember that it was part of His plan. That portion of the plan may not have been in favor for you because He was helping someone who knew you could unknowingly help (through you failure ie. when you lose money and someone who needed it found it or something like that). I know it sounds crazy but that's how things work. But then again, what you lose for fulfilling your part he gives back somehow.

3. That which does not kill you, makes you stronger.

Remember that if He did leave you alone, you'd be dead or alone or meaningless or something. The fact that you're alive and well means that he helped you through those times.

4. Listen.

Figure out why you experienced whatever you did in the first place. It's God's way of telling you to not to do something like that again so you wouldn't be hurt more than you have been when you did it the first time.

Well that's it. Just stay happy and make the most out of life.

Answer 3

Jesus is not God
Allah Says in the Quran in
Surah 112.Ahad( The Unity, Sincerity, Oneness Of Allah)
"1. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;

2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;

3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;

4. And there is none like unto Him. "




According to the bible
Moses said:-"Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adna Ikhad"
"Hear, O Israel The Lord our God is one Lord" Deuteronomy 6:4
Jesus said:-
"...The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord." Mark 12:29

The great messenger of God, Jesus, says: "And this is life eternal, that they might know You the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent." John 17:3

Answer 4

Come on ninja. Jesus doesn't fail anyone. Are you praying and following his commandments. If not then your prays and petition some times gets unanswered. Thats what I believe. If u believe in Jesus, make sure u walk in his ways. If u do try a little fasting, it worked for me ,ok don't worry he hears you , probably he has other plans for you.

Answer 5

Perhaps it only *appears* that he has failed you, when in fact he has not. You don't really give enough information for anyone to give a good answer. Details are important. If you would like to explain your situation more fully via email, feel free to contact me.

Answer 6

if you will check your bible you will find that every blessing that God promises is followed by an IF.

the accountability lies in your soul. He is able to see past your clothes and skin and muscles into your soul. Also, if you are asking for a b.b. gun he may be saying, No, you'll shoot your eye out."

Answer 7

"In this world you will have troubles, but I have overcome the world."

God didn't promise that we wouldn't go through hard times. It's during those hard times that we lean on God and he caries us through.

"I will never leave you nor forsake you"

Jesus has never let you down, it may just feel like it at times. Read the book of Job and see all the hardship that he went through. In the end though God led him out of all of it. He is always faithful.

Answer 8

Peace!
This may hurt but it is the truth. 90% of our problems are self-inflicted. The remaining 10% you can probably charge to bad luck. The bottom line is God wants us to help ourselves. So when we pray to God we should ask for guidance in helping ourselves. My experience is when I pray this way, God opens opportunites for me to solve my problem.
God bless!

Answer 9

Do you know Jesus? have you given your life to Him? If not then you should. because when you do He will be there for you. He will be your Best Friend in the world.

Before you say Jesus keeps failing you. ask yourself why am i failing Jesus. Good Luck. Please seek Jesus you won't regret it i Promise

Answer 10

i know some pray and pray and pray. this kinda makes it sound like you dont trust in God to answere you. we are taught at my church to pray and ask and then let God answere it. pray and wait for an answere. and think about what you are wanting. something you need or want? he answeres are prayers. our daughter every year is sick at this time for 4 days. this year we prayed over her and she was only sick for 16 hours. praise God. and a lot of people keep praying over and over again for something and eventually loose faith and then it does not get answered.

Answer 11

You can only fail yourself. Jesus is not accountable for what we do. You can also fix yourself, guidance from above is there but you have to find it inside.
