I am not afraid to turn to God, and I don't play to win. I play to please God.
My goal in life is to touch the lives of as many people as I can for Christ, guaranteeing their entry into heaven. I am not concerned about myself, my entry into heaven is already assured.

Why do you believe He rejected you? If it's because He didn't help you win something, than your not truly coming to Him for the right reasons. When you go to God, you have to give yourself fully to Him, not come to Him when you need something and then go on doing the same things you've been doing. You can't say God please help me win the lottery, and then when you don't you go and rob a bank. It doesn't work like that. When you come to God, you may not win at anything here, but you win with everlasting life and never being separated from God again. He wants you to want Him. He doesn't want to be used and discarded. He'll still love you if you do, but He wants you to put effort into your relationship with Him. God should come first, always. Don't give up. If you truly believe, tell Him. Go talk to Him and tell Him what your feeling. Ask Him to help you understand what He wants from you. There is no right way to pray, but be honest (He knows it anyway), even if your angry. Turn your troubles over to Him and let Him know that no matter what you will still love Him. He gives us all unconditional love, and that's something we get from anyone of this Earth, even parents.

how do you know he rejected you? did you get a pink slip from him?
or did you want something/someone soooo badly, in desperation you turned to god for help.
obviously things did not work out. that is your pink slip. you have been angry with god for a very long time, and now again, things are still going wrong. you are getting desperate again, and you feel now that the only recourse is divine intervention.
but you are afraid to turn to god because you are afraid that he will not answer you/and or in your mind, he will reject your request again.
did you ever think that when you feel you got rejected the first time, it was really a blessing in disguise. but you got so angry you did not get your way, you could not see past your anger/grief?
that same anger(not getting your way) is only fueling anything else that goes wrong around you. god is not here to be at your beckon call for "stuff". god is here to change the ways of this world (that is killing everyone inside) in all of us. you have to change who you are first. by asking god what he wants you to change about yourself first. that is the hardest thing to do. he might just answer back and ask you to do things differently. to be a different person towards others. i guarantee, if you do this, you won't be prioritizing the asking of things you want. you will see things totally different

No you keep your faith and believe in what he say he will never leave nor forsake you. God will never put more on you than what you can bare. And also to you can't always question him, sometimes you need to check yourself, what are you giving him in return. Everyone situation is differ but some people need rejection, sometimes winning certain things are not good for you in the long run. Also for example if I asked you if you go to the casino and gamble but you didn't win anything back does that stop them to continue to play? Our time is not God's time.

Place your bet and lose every time. Have faith and He will hear you. God never rejected you. Perhaps He didn't give you the answer you were hoping for but He didn't reject you. Have you asked Him to forgive you and to come into your life? Have you asked Him to save you? The angels will rejoice and the Lord will embrace you. Whatever your strife right now, my friend, I will pray for you.
I have prayed for you. Please don't give up on God. He wants to hear from you. Even if you have anamosity and anger at Him. Tell Him about it. Tell Him everything and clear the air. He is always there and He knows your heart and your needs. All you need to do is ask.

He didn't reject you, He just probably said "no". there is a difference. I guess you jsut live right before God and keep trying. sometimes it just helps to know what you're takling. like if it's the lottery: God doesn't think to highly of gambling, He doesn't cheat, and if there are many Christians praying to win, why would He pick a favorite? He doesn't play favorites.
sometimes you just have to know your strengths. if you're not athletic, don't enter sports competitions. if you're not math-brainy, don't try math-elons. if you're not good with your hands, I don't suggest you become a carpenter. get it?

Well you could do what I did, Smoke a lot of pot, and become a bigger Loser!
And I "Still haven't got a pot to piss in, or a window to throw it out of".
So you know, find what you Love to do, and do it, and do not let anyone Steal your Joy.
Whether it be Writing, cycling, building Bike/ Motoprcycles, or just being out on the beach, taking pic's of naked Hot Babes.
You know, you should go for that one, I mean...all you need is a camera, and some Hot Betty's to pose for you.
Chicks are always wanting to get naked, for a camera.
I just wish I would listen to my own advice sometimes...
Lets go Dude.
I got a pretty decent...old, but decent Camera.
Peace out man...
You will Win at life...
Just do it.

Same as I do when I win something. Wining and losing is not the point to living. Living is the process and not the outcome. Those who worry about the outcome find themselves internally frantic, whilst externally bereft of action. Fear comes only when one worry's about winning or losing. Peace comes when on is internally calm and externally frantic.
When one's life is to carry out the work with craft and dedication, one doens't take it personally when things go right or wrong.

That was all just practice.
Now just a little more honing and you'll start winning.
Rejection is of man.
God loves you anyway.
What are you placing between yourself and God?
