If there is really God why isn’t he listening to my prayer?
When I had money I help everyone I know when they have problems but now when I am suffering why don’t they help me? Why do all of them turn there back on me?
Why isn’t God listening to my tears every night? Why is God so unfair with me?????????????????????????????????

God doesn't give you what you ask for but what you need. The lessons and gifts that are given teach us how to be a better person and to understand others. Obviously the people who took your money were not the true friends you believed. Be strong, this too shall pass.

My more deeply into the religion of Christianity friends would say the answer to your prayers is no and that is why u are not getting a clear answer. Since I don't know what u are exactly praying for I couldn't give u a definite answer. I would suggest u go off and talk to a minister of some kind about these problems to see what things he/she can tell you.
The atheists will say as usual that God isn't real which doesn't help much since u obviously believe in Christianity.

Alot of people ask this question. They need to actually see God to beleive he exists. But remember, the israelites saw God part the Red Sea, yet they still built a statue of Baal to worship. Seeing is not always believing. You must have faith and works to back that faith. But to answer your question, proof of Gods existence is all around us. The earth is involved in a constant cycle of renewal. Flowers grow and die, then grow again, Animals constantly do the same as do humans. The earth is beautiful and functional. And if you look closely, on a subatomic level you can see, just like a puzzle, everything was assembled. Who else could have done that other than an Omnipitent Creator? And he does listen to prayers. To those that pray to him in earnest. You must remember that it rains on the just and the unjust meaning that good things happen to good and bad people and bad things happen to good and bad people. It is how you handle those situations that determine your feelings about God. When God rains blessings on the world, he doesnt pick and choose based on who was good and who was bad, he just waters everyone. Think about it like this. If one rain drop goes to one person and some greedy people gather up more than their share, then some people will go without. Do you curse God because you didnt get your drop? No, because it wasnt Gods fault. It was the sinful condition of mankind and the devils influence that lead to your problem.
Jehovah God is listening to your tears but you must also listen to his. He wants us all to attain life and he outlines how to do it in the bible. His will be done, not ours. 1 Tim. 6:6, 8, 9 give a good witness to the way you should be to gain favor from God.

You are saying that God can only exist if He does what you want.

So basically God can only exist if He is as finite as you are?

Why are you so unfair with Him?

Trust. Don't boss God around. He knows how you feel. Read the psalms and you will see those used by God in big ways are often tempered in the furnace of life. But what they get is so much more than monetary.

Yes -there is a God - but we are put down here to be tried. And God does answer prayers - just not always in the time frame that we desire. You are being tested - to deny God because of trials is not good. Continue to have faith - all good things will come in due time.

There is a God, His Name is Jesus. He loves you in whatever situation you may be in. God is not unfair with you. He loves you when you have money. He loves you when you do not have money. He loves you when you are happy and he loves you when you are lonely or in despair. God is not limited by your feelings. The sun shines on all people in the same way that the rain pours on everyone. Many times, we blame God for the storm but we forget to realize that we have an enemy-- the devil. The Bible says that "all perfect gifts come from above" or from God while the devil is the "destroyer". We are not living in a perfect world because man sinned from the beginning. Man used to be so happy in the Garden of Eden but Adam and Eve disobeyed God, thus, there is now despair in this world. But there is a promise to everyone who will accept Jesus as Personal Lord and Saviour-- that He will give you an abundant life-- peace and joy IN SPITE of our situations. The Lord said we will have troubles in this world but do not despair because He also said that He has delivered us from all troubles. I do not know the extent of your problem with money. I do not know the details of your situation but God knows. People sometimes fail you but please remember that the Lord does not sleep and He promised to take care of you. He will calm you fears, He will dry your tears. He said, "Come unto me who labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." His Word is true. I've tasted it. I've experienced. I've proven it. He never lies. He will see you through. Just acknowledge Him first as the only Lord of your life. Once you have surrendered your life completely to Him, He will give you wisdom to turn your situation around. Pls. remember that He loved you enough to die on the Cross for you and He would gladly do it even if it is only for you. When the Lord is silent, it doesn't mean that He has not heard your prayer. Delayed answer doesn't mean no. Sometimes, it just means "wait". If friends sometimes betray you, God will never abandon you. He speaks. He is alive. He is real. He is fair. The world is unfair, yes but God is fair. He just wants you to completely trust in Him. Do you know Job? He lost everything-- his health, his wealth, his children and his wife told him to curse God and die. But Job said, "Naked came I from my mother's womb and naked shall I return. Blessed be the Name of the Lord." Why such great trust? Because Job knows that God could never hurt him. God could never lie for He is truth. In the end, God not only restored to him all but more. And who caused his suffering? It was not God. It was clear in the story that it was devil who caused him to suffer. But the Word says, "Greater is He (Jesus Christ) that is in me than he (the devil) that is in the world." Look up my friend, the sun still shines. GOD LOVES YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.

He is listening, he is always there he knows what is best and how to best help you. Are you listening to him thats the question? Are you looking for him in your everyday life, in the people around you? Check out Davids Psalms, he was asking the same questions.

I don't know why. I'd recommend talking with a good pastor and continually praying for God to show Himself to you so that you know He's real. There will be times when you don't feel God's presence, but keeping reading the Bible and doing everything you can to get into His presence. Often that's why He allows you to feel alone, so that you push further into Him.

I mean this in love. Is there pride or strife in your life? Are there things that exalt themselves against the love of God? When things are not working out we need to look at ourselves first and I am talking about myself first.
