"Oh God, please help me! I can't figure out how to solve my own problems. I need you to do it for me!"

Does a God that dwells outside of time really bother with human concerns? Or is it people that try and make this God more human that such a being could ever be?
If you go by what is in the bible Jesus did say, "How long must I suffer you." Matthew 17:17 I'd say yes!

If we're complaining all the time and having an ungrateful, sinful attitude in our prayers, such as praying, "God? Why can't you give me a million bucks? It's not fair! I wanna buy more things! And why can't you make me more popular? My friends now are such looooosers..." Stuff like that doesn't make Him happy I'm sure. Another thing which he speaks against is praying in vain, like something that might sound like this: "Oh God, thank you for making me pretty and rich. Please help no one to ever become prettier or richer. And thank you for making me a nice person, and please help everybody else to be more like me, so the world would become a better place..." That is not a good way to pray.
However, God clearly says a whole bunch of times in the bible, that He wants us to bring all our problems and burdens to Him. He loves us like crazy, and likes to see us happy. When we're carrying a heavy burden on our backs, the thing He wants to do most is take it away. It doesn't tire Him out or make Him agitated when we want His help. He's so powerful and wonderful, nothing is to great for Him. He created this world, He created us, He's made earthquakes and storms as well as calmed them down with a single sentence, not even by physical force, so why on earth would it be any trouble for Him to help us? He wants us to bring every one of our problems to Him, no matter how big or small, so that He can help us with them. He wants to help every aspect of our lives, and He actually gets mad when we try to solve all our problems on our own, instead of asking for help.
If you were a dad that had a little toddler, and he was trying to carry a backpack that was way to heavy for him, and because of that he was walking really slow, crying from pain, and kept falling down, and breaking his little back trying to carry it all on his own, wouldn't you want to carry it for him more than anything? Lots of us are like that little toddler walking with our dad, God, and God keeps saying, "Can't I carry that for you? I'd love to do it. It's much to heavy for you..." But still we look at our dad and go, "No! I want to carry it myself! No help!"
God wants us to ask Him for help!

Yeah probably. Dont you get sick of it when your children whine at you. Whining for the little things. I believe that God wants to hear and help. Thats not what all prayer is about though!

God is more than happy to help those who know him and support him in his purpose for the earth. These people also pray for that purpose to be accomplished. For God's name to be sanctified. They thank him for the ransom, and all he has done for us and them personally. It's not just me me me all the time for people who really know about him. True christians also get sick of people who think they are smart, but go around trying to bash somthing they obviously don't know anything about.

Yes!! He would probably say, "Come on! It's time for you to take responsibility for your own life. Learn from your mistakes, learn from the bad things that happen, stop being depressed and enjoy life's little things, and be responsible. Stop worrying! It doesn't help at all."
Anyway, that's what I think, even though I don't believe in the Christian god.

Yes, some people pray about the dumbest things, I think thats why God told the Muslims to pray all at once, five times a day. So people would stop bugging him radomly. and they would just say "allahu Akbar"

Try this on for size.... everyday when you get up say "father forgive me for my sins" "set Jesus on my throne and let the holy spirit go before me in utterances and groanings" this is an actual prayer but beware cause the holy spirit speaks in tongues everywhere at once.....

Yes, they act as if they live in hell. They want others to solve their problems and feel sorry for them and they always blame demons for their own problems that they get into

Yes, G-d does not sick but annoyed of listening to the xtians constantly whine. I sure do, they are so annoying when they constantly want to make others feel they are wrong and going to "hell" while they claim that it is all about G-d's will. They can't figure out their own problems and yet they claim to have figured who is going to "hell" HOW HIPOCRITICAL of them. I think they are obviously experiencing their own "hell". While many of us tend to solve our own problems, we are experiencing G-d's real heaven on earth. Making our own heaven is not easy, but it sure is better than whining and expecting G-d to do everything.

Correction....I think u meant 2 say "wannab christians". Some people only know god when theyre in s**t or want something. Its jus sick to see people labelling themselves as christians when they have that trait.
