Its all about after we die??
I have posted questions about God not answering prayers, etc. and I get answers like, its not Gods fault your life has hardship, etc.
So we have to go through hell on earth, even though we pray to God every day of our lives, so we can go to heaven?

I asked God for a car. My wife went to a church with a friend. The pastor asked her if she had need of a car. Someone had donated to the church but the church didn't need it. My wife said yes, and the pastor gave it to her. Inside of the car was an envelope with enough cash to pay for the title and tags. This doesn't happen every time we pray, but God does answer prayers.

By the way your talking I can see why God doesn't answer your prayers. First off, you can't live however you want and expect God to bend for you. God is good, Satan is bad never confuse the two. God can only answers the prayers of those that have faith, and obey him. Bad happens because of sin, and you sew what your reap, that is how it works. Satan is the God of this world, and the reason God allows him to live, is because he is patient to judge. If he wasn't patient, none of us would be around this moment. With God, there is more than enough hope. If you look at the lifes of some of the most famous celebrites you will find unfufillment. Without God, there is no hope, only despair. Kurt Cobain is an example of this. God is life, without him nobody can do anything. Instead of asking what you can get from God, why don't you start asking what you can do. Because what we deserve is infinite punishment and God showed his love by becoming our sacrifice. We are forgiven and receive the infinite rewards that God has planned for us. If you think its hell on Earth, maybe you should start living.
Sometimes what you feel you need, isn't what you really need. God will turn everything for good, if you put your trust in him.

The bible clearly states that God will answer your prayer in Jesus name.
Simple instructions.
If your prayers are not being answered even though you followed these instructions, what could possibly be the problem?
This is really something for you to figure out on your own. Some of us could tell you the answer, but I assure you it will have more meaning to you if you find the answer by yourself.

God does answer prayers. Maybe not in the way that you think he should. I know that I have prayed for things and I get something totally different, but then it turns out that was the best outcome for me. What I would end up with is way better than what I would be praying for. Kind of like parents know what's best for their children.

I think the point of believing in a religion is to help make something of your life. God may have put you on this earth (no, I am not religious) but it is up to you to make this earth what you want it to be. The purpose of God isn't to do things for you, the purpose is to show you how to do things for yourself.

is your family a real happy family? are you the only one that still tries to pray? don't give up praying! iv been over to a friends house where her family pray the rosary every night and they go to church more then once a week. i enjoy it because while they do these things they are a family and communicate. if you dint have a bond like that of course your going to feel like earths meant to be some kind of torture.

The best way to get answers to these questions is to contact a pastor in a local church. I would not trust what anyone said on YAHOOanswers - if it was a matter as serious as this.
Although, some of these answers are quite wise.

u have to accept God into your life and u have to want to follow His commands and u have to love him above all things. God created us all equal and made all of us special. so if u r willing to accept God then u can get to Heaven. U need to make sure that u r in the state of grace when u die. or u will go to hell if u have done something totally against God. I mean even the holiest people go against God. So if you want to go to Heaven u have to accept God as number one above all ur family and friends and luxaries.
Good Luck........

God will answer to your prayers.In His time line. He will help you. He will guide you. He will answer, and sometimes the answer is something you do not like to hear...like NO. God gives you hope.Let Him work in your life also in good times, He will take care of you. You were in His care even before you were born. : )

If you fallow the Holly Spirit and not yourself you can live a blessed life here on earth. Just read the Bible and pray often, you will see.
