for believers: do you sometimes think God forgot you?

Question

Does any one feel like this sometimes?

i beg him to help me in getting out of my problems,to help me find real love with a girl that will truly love me and find peace in myself but i get nothing, i feel God don't hear my prayers :(

Answer 1

GOD knows what is better for you than you do..Keep praying and asking for GOD to show you..
Ask to do GOD's will not your own.

Answer 2

God is there, he hears your prayers. I understand that you have asked for things that you felt you needed or deserved. What you need to understand is God wants you to believe in him, and with that belief he wants you to know he will give you what you need to find peace. When I was younger I prayed for true love, but I truly did nothing to find it. I criticized each person that I was in a relationship, and found fault where there was none. As I aged I realized, if God had answered my prayer I was not receptive to it.
I think your prayers are out of order, you need to find peace with yourself, love yourself, then look for someone to love who will love you. Give this some thought and pray again. This listen and look for the answer in every aspect of your life.

God Bless

Answer 3

When you talk with the Father, how do you hear what He says back? Do you read the Scriptures? Do you go to church and listen to what the Pastor says? How do you think He will answer you, by e-mail?
God is not a vending machine (a title of a book by the way) it is a relationship. How much time do you spend with Him, or do you just pray for what you want and walk away, or do you pray walking?
Put out some effort and find out who He really is and what He has to say. It's not just about you asking for things, it's much more than that. That's only a very small part.

Answer 4

The problem may be that you only see a small part of the picture.

You want certain things to happen, things that you think will better your life. God knows what's good for us.

I think your pain can largely be due to your attachment to things that you aren't meant to have just yet.

Take some time and just "Go with the flow". Take pleasure in some of the small things in life.

Most of all, don't think about yesterday and tomorrow any more than is necessary to get through today. You'll never change yesterday, and with all respect, tomorrow may never come.

Don't put so much pressure on yourself, friend. . .you'll NEVER have EVERYTHING you want, so decide to be a more content person, and you'll find things will naturally gravitate toward you.

Answer 5

What one wants at any given time... God is like a father he knows when his children can or is able to handle it.....How do you know you may be better off single. God may have another plan. He said he gives abundantly above all we can ask for are think of....God hears every prayer but just like he is patient with us...we should be patient and wait on the Lord.

Mature Christians do not get finicky when it comes to the love of God? I wish at times God was a micro wave but he is not he invented it for our comfort but he is not one.

God also feels like we are not listening when you know better and we go ahead and sin. God knows and he also has feelings...and we cry out for things that can wait. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all things shall be add.

Answer 6

We are a microwave, drive-through generation of people. We like things quickly, but the Lord does not work like that. Through maturing in my faith I had to learn myself that prayers aren't about getting what "I" want, but seeking what the Lord thinks is best for my life. God tells us to bring our desires before Him, yes. But we need to trust that He is hearing our every word and He will no doubt bring it to pass when it is the right time. And if He doesn't in the way you'd like, He is still Lord and always does what is in our very best interest. It is the devil who wants you to look at the unanswered prayers because it keeps us from seeing all that God is doing in our lives. Don't you give the devil that authority over you! If you are a child of God, Satan is under your feet. Do a dance on him!

Answer 7

I'm sorry that you feel that way.

Here's a little story, you may have heard; but it is worth sharing anyway....

There was a major storm in this one area, which caused a flood and trapped a man in his home. He decided to pray to G-d for help and trust that He would help. So the home-owner prayed "Dear G-d Please help me by stopping the storm and making the flood water go away." A man in a pickup pulled up to the house and asked the stranded man if he would like some help. The home-owner said "No thank you. I'm waiting on the L-rd to help, He'll answer my prayers"

After days, he was now in the second floor of the house. He prayed to G-d for help for "the rains to stop and the water to go away." A woman in a boat pulled up to his window and asked him to get in. The man said "No, thank you. The L-rd is going to heip me."

Days later, now the home-owner was stranded on the roof of his house. A rescue helicopter from the Coast Guard hovered over his house, one of the men asked the home-ower to get into the rescue basket and he would be taken to safety. The home-owner refused their help, saying "No, thank you.The L-rd is going to help me, I'm putting my trust in Him." And as the helicopter was moving away from the man, he prayed again "HELP ME G-D!! MAKE THIS RAIN STOP AND THE WATER GO AWAY."

Sad to say that the man ended-up drowning to death.

When he was brought before G-d, he yelled "WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP ME? I PRAYED AND PRAYED AND BEGGED AND YOU DID NOTHING?"

G-d said in a very soft and loving voice What do you mean I did nothing? I sent help, in the form of a man in a pickup, woman in a boat, and the crew of a rescue helicopter. What more did you want from me?

In other words, sometimes we do not always see that the answer to our prayer has been given. Because we do not realize, that He was working through another person, to help us in our time of need.

Answer 8

I think all of us sometimes feel as if we're alone...but really we're not...

As for your prayer: God answers it according to HIS will; not yours...so maybe instead of removing your problems he chooses to walk with you as you face them, and maybe it's HIS plan that you fly solo (at this time) instead of you meeting some girl...and maybe the reason you have not found peace within yourself is because you have not yet "accepted God's will" (unconditionally)

Meanwhile, don't give up praying.
P.U.S.H.!!

"Pray Until Something Happens!"

God still loves you.
God bless.

Answer 9

God doesnt here your prayers because you have no faith or you believe you do but you dont,I never feel like he forgets about me,actually,we forget about him.....girlfriends and love are human related things,things that dont affect your soul completely but if you do pray with faith you will get an answer....Finding peace is also hard,but it is very possible,you need faith...Once I found my faith I found peace and happiness always with god.......Try to worry about flesh love later and focus on loving life,in other words God himself,dont use him for personal favors,show something back.....I think this might help.

Answer 10

God never forgets us.
Keep on praying to Him, He does listen to your prayers. But do not think that He will give you what you want as soon as you ask for it. He knows what is best for you, and sometimes you have to wait paitiently for it.
Sometimes what you want may actually not be good for you, so God does not let it be. But remember, His way is perfect, and His word is truth.
Ask Him to open your heart to see what is best, and continue praying to Him. Have faith in God.
(Also know that we have to have complete faith in God and love Him before we can love another human properly.)
God Bless

Answer 11

Sometimes, but God reminds me God Is usually right away.

Do you pray to Jesus? Try that. The Lord who shed His blood on the cross for remission for your sins. And then be specific & tell Him what kind of girl you want. Remember to not be unequally yoked. There is a lot of discord in those relationships where one believes in Jesus & one doesn't.

Read Philippians 4. Jesus Is our peace. Get right with God & have faith & not doubt & God will provide that perfect someone just for you.
