He says he's with you always but won't answer your prayers. He says no weapons against you shall prosper, they cut john head off. He doesn't give you justice against your ennemies. and so on. You have to be so spiritual to receive material blessings from Him.

I know I can trust God because when I hit my deepest, darkest, rock bottom place, He was still with me. No matter how much I pushed Him away, no matter how hard I spiraled down that lost path I was on, He was with me. He kept putting little reminders of His love in path. He found ways to let me know that I was not alone. And when I was ready to come back, He welcomed me with open arms. He forgave me and welcomed me home.
Just because you don't see, or agree with, the answer doesn't mean that God didn't answer your prayers. He DOES answer prayers. You don't need to be spiritual to recieve blessings from Him. Plenty of non-believers recieve gifts, blessings, and miracles. He loves us all and blesses all of us.
Even when I hated Him, he still loved me, protected me, and blessed me.

Have you ever read the poem Footprints in the sand? If not google it up, it pertains to your question.
God DOES answer your prayers, it might not always be in the way that you want, but it will ALWAYS be the way that you need because God knows what's best for us even when we don't realize it at the time.
"No weapons against you shall prosper" Think about the meaning of the word prosper. We are all mortal people, subject to death at one point or another, but if we live life according to the commandments and stick close to God, WE will prosper in the end.
Justice against enemies will come at the second coming. Also God has the inate responsibility to distribute justice as well as mercy.
The blessings we recieve from him are not material, they are everlasting and eternal. Well maybe he would bless us with some material items here on earth, since he does know that certain material things are important to us, however I do know that if I lost everything in a house fire tomorrow, ALL my material posessions, I would still have the most important thing I own, and that's my testimony of God.
God bless you,
Sarah

Well, first you need to write legible sentences to be understood..."they cut john head off?????.
You say he won't answer your prayers. Maybe he IS answering your prayers, just not with the answers YOU would like! Who says you have to be "spiritual" to be blessed materially? I mean are you praying for a new car or something? I mean why don't you pray to land a job so you can buy the new car? (Just as an example). Justice against your enemies? How about instead praying for him to give you compassion and tolerance toward your enemies? It sounds to me that you need to rethink what you are praying for.................Good Luck

as to your first question about prayer, saying no is an answer to prayer. He's not a vending machine that you punch in a code and get whatever you want. Being God, He will give you what's best for your rather than what you think you want. In reference to weapons against you, this comes against you, this comes from the understanding that nothing can separate you from the love of Christ, even death. To a Christian, God will deliver you in any situation either by life or by death. He will either deliver you by protecting your life and allowing you to live on in Him, or He will deliver you to death which is greater by far since you will be in heaven with Him.This makes life for a true Christian a win-win situation. As for justice, God is the perfect judge. He will bring justice in the end far better than we ever could imagine. In order to have a personal relationship with Christ, we must be willing to submit everything to Him. We must be willing to trust Him with every aspect of our personal lives including our safety, our family, our possessions, our prosperity, our future, and our very life itself. If we are unwilling to do this, who can we trust? If we are left to trust only ourselves, we realize we cannot provide perfect justice, perfect security, and complete joy in life. These thing can only be found when you trust in Christ.

Yes, I think God can be trusted. (trust and faith have the same meaning). And, trusting is a personal decision. God doesn't seem to be a circus act; lest we would always be asking for more; like the folks did in the Bible days.

God trusts us to take care of each other. Are you doing your part? Your pain will cease as you help to heal others. God is counting on you.

It depends on what you pursue. If we pursue our eternal life up there somewhere, yes, you can trust God and His promise.
In terms of earthly things, no, don't depend on Him for anything. He has His own plans for us. Crazy plans.
