Send me money Lord.
Help me get this job.
What a load of crap--shame on ya.
Dont you think God is little tired of you nagging him about everything under the sun.
Heres one for you. Dear God just leave us alone and we will screw it up and NOT ask you to fix it. Take a break and watch the flames. Thanks God now go away .

Wow, there are some Christians answering questions that really make Christians look bad. We are not all that judgmental. In fact, some of us are actually quite loving.
Anyway, that is a great point that I think of often. In fact, you don't see people praying in the Bible for stuff like that, so what makes us think that we should pray like that. In fact, prayer should mostly be about worship of God, thanking God and loving others. Sorry that Christians can be so petty.

If God didn't care then why would he bother to actually answer my prayers, and those of others who pray to him? God answers my prayers every day. I can not name very many that he hasn't. I don't know if I could even name any. I suppose most people would say that is not normal. Actually I do believe everyone who prays according to God's will gets everything they ask for. This probably just confused you even more. So I will pray for you to get some understanding and may God come into your life like a flash of lightning! By the way prayer can also be a two way conversation. No we are not all mental!

You are operating under the false assumption that things will always be bad, be this way.
but look at what the Bible says.
(REVELATION 21:4) “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.””
No more death or sickness.
(PSALM 37:11) “But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.”
A peaceful home, on the earth,
(JOB 33:25) “Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor.’”
No more ageing.
(PSALM 72:16) “There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth; On the top of the mountains there will be an overflow. His fruit will be as in Leb′a·non, And those who are from the city will blossom like the vegetation of the earth.”
No more hunger.
What more could you ask for?

It would be better to pray god for all your genuine requirements. Instead of crunching before persons, it is good to seek it from god. God never gets tired, otherwise he would not have created the cosmos and the people around who think a lot.

here is an analogy.
you are a fathers only child. he did everything he could t protect you. you say to him, "let me go out into the world and make my way." the father allows you with much resistance. you screw up and are now in the streets begging for money. your father finds you and tries his best to persuade you to come with him so he can take care of you. you say to him, "Go away. i do not need anything from you. all you brought me was pain and anguish. just let me be. let me make my own desiscions in my life." your father lovingly allows you to do what ever you want and you die a week later. your father is very very disheartened that you would not let him help you. you could have lived ten more decades under your father's loving care, but you turned your back on him and hatingly refused his help. you died for nothing and you died a nobody. your father greives for you for the next twenty five years before his death.
God is like that father. we are His children. very few of us accept His help. the rest of the world is like that son who refused help. if God cares abot the petty needs of the smallest organism, how much more He cares for us. God wants us to ask Him for help. and if we really need it, He will supply it.

Me belief is that you are not supposed to ask God for material things. Ask for Him to look over your friends and family or other people that need the help. God will always love us. God also told us to love everyone. I will pray for you to find out about the real Jesus. I hope you get everything you want in life.

I am sure that if god could get tired, he would definitely be tired of all the prayers people pummel him with. God, on the other hand, is just a word people use and it doesn't really have any meaning.

Do you really think that all we do when we pray is beg for new "toys" and money? Prayer is a two way conversations. Much of the time it's sharing. It's building a relationship with someone who loves you.

my problems are important to God whether big or small, because He is my Heavenly Father. Do you have children? If you do, you'll do anything to assure they are well cared for. God does that for me. And God does not get tired.
