Jesus is all-powerful and timeless, but if you pray for Jesus to appear, nothing happens. You have to create a weird rationalization to deal with this discrepancy

You really know every aspect of my life THAT Well?
Story:
There was this little girl about five years old , she was raised in an atheist home, but one night her mom and dad got into a really bad fight. The husband shot his wife, and then himself. The little girl was taken into foster care, and adopted by a christian lady.
On the first sunday the christian took this little girl to sunday school, and told the teacher this girls parents were atheist, so she won't know a lot.
When the teacher started class, she held up a picture of Jesus christ, and asked the class who he was. The little girl raised her hand and when the teacher called on her she said,
"that's the man that held me the night my parents died."
Yeah, jesus is there. but maybe your problems are too petty

Jesus has revealed himself to me. The story is to long to go into it here; but it is very much like the little girl in Saiyan's story. This happened before I was a believer. I have no doubt in my mind that Jesus is real. It is more than blind faith. I have proof!

Jesus does not answer to you. He can appear if he wishes, but it will be in the form of an angel. I have never seen it, but my Dad did and one of my sons did. I guess I'm not as spiritual as them.

19There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

God said that he would no longer communicate with us like he did in the Old testament, because man angered God. He sends His Holy Spirit to comfort us and if God did appear unto me I would know it wasn't him because he said he wouldn't do that anymore. God can't answer prayers that he already said no to.

Again, your distorted view of prayer leads to this conclusion. Christ has promised a day when he will return, and judgment will follow for those who ask stupid questions.

God isn't our slave. Praying to Him doesn't mean He does whatever we want. Our prayers are answered when they conform to the Divine Will.

Why SHOULD He ? Is THAT a weird rationalization ? He is God, He don't work for me. I work for Him.
