There have been many instances in which I have asked for help and assisstance from God in my life when I was in bad situations and under inhumane circumstances; and I have never been answered, helped or otherwise. Why would he help all of you others and not help me? Please answer me that...

Wait, wait, wait. You said that you were in 'bad situations' and 'under inhumane conditions'. So you are not in those conditions NOW? And you are wondering why God isn't answering you, even after you were delivered from those problems?
I guess I don't understand.
You have to trust Him, and then after the condition of hardship is over, don't forget in the light what you learned in the darkness.
And then there is this:
Psalm 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca ( Weeping) make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
So blessed men go through valleys of weeping, and they go from strength to strength. You have made it then, haven't you? So remember the Lord when you get out of them, okay?

I guess it happen to everybody. We don't ask help from God, we think we can demand it from him. but He has established a way to get to Him: the sacrifice of Jesus in Calvary. Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you believe with all your heart and trust in God he Will show you what He can do for you, just humble yourself before Him and He will lift you up, where you've never been before. I had many prayers answered, and I didn't think He even existed.

Perhaps he has tried and you didn't recognize his hand in things and closed the door. I really don't know you so I cannot really give you a good answer. Try your local Kingdom Hall and have a Bible study. You will be able to get all your questions answered and have a real hope for a great future in God's Kingdom.

Jesus isn't a "errand boy" that you tell to do something and he does as he is told.
Jesus is the Creator of all things,King of Kings and Lord of Lords:
Isaiah 9
If you pray and ask for help you need to treat Him with respect.
I pray, and I hope you will also, that God will help you with your needs in a way those involved will know he helped you.

Hi The Voice. The truth is bad things happen to Christians all the time. The martyr Stephen was stoned to death for defending his faith (Acts 7:1-53), disciple Paul was beaten and imprisoned for preaching the Gospel, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was crucified and He could have called legions of angels to save Him if He wanted. In Matthew 26:53 we read:
"Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?"
When we pray to God, we should always tell Him what it is we are requesting, but we should always remember that we want his will to be done. In Matthew 6:10 God teaches us to pray:
"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."

If you neglect to exercise your brain or body do not be surprised when they let you down in an emergency. God is not a genie who pops out on command when you get yourself in a jam. Accept responsibility for your thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and actions and you will make much better decisions.

Start lookin' out for #1 buddy!
Prayer is a downward spiral of dependency on a God who will continue not to answer.
