I'm not a saint, but everyday is the same old thing with more problems going on. Problems and more problems, when will it stop?

He is the same place as always, only in the heads of the faithful. You will find once you let go of god, you will see life much more clearly and your problems much easier to deal with.

It doesn't exist. It is up to you to solve your own problems.
If you are having the same problems you need to fix YOU.
Problems exist until you fix them. Then you get new problems. It is called "living." It will all be over when you are dead or stop having "problems" and have "opportunities for change" instead.
You don't need a fairy god mother, if you can take care of yourself (and have others to help you.).
Who knows if dead will be worse? Or more problems? I don't.
You don't have to be a saint. you have to be the best human you know how to be.When given a choice to be mean or kind-pick kind. When you can Choose honest over a lie, pick honest. When you can help, help. When someone is hurt, pick them up. Be patient even when you don't want to.
Even if a god did exist, this is good advice. God would be a good thing to worship, love, praise, bless, and enjoy, not beg for stuff or make sorry deal with..
Be happy, and enjoy your life. Go good. Use your gifts. Love other people. If that isn't enough, then what is?

Everyday are new blessings...with more and more blessings coming on.
Is your cup half full or half empty...why do you have your sights on those things of the world and not of God?
Have you looked at the beauty of the mountains, oceans, plains...the beauty of a tree, a flower. Have you seen a kind stranger, stop and offer assistance to a person needing the tire changed? Have you seen the millions of dollars given to charity each year, the food banks, and help centers, etc...
the world is not all bad...and much of it is good...God has given us much to be thankful for and many blessings to appreciate...so, why are you not focusing on the good of God instead of the bad of men?

God gives people choices.
If God was always there fixing your problems for you, you wouldn't be able to appreciate the times when things are going well. Things are only good by comparison.
God didn't create your problems. Either you did or the people around you did. Sorry.

God is right there with you at all times waiting for the best time to help you. You have to mean it when you ask him for help. And he will show you the way if you only would pay attention. The help he sends your way will probably be very easy to miss if you don`t really need the help after all. Try talking to him sometimes when you don`t need anything at all and he may be more prone to help when you think you really need it. In other word`s pray just for the joy of thanking God for all the blessings he has given you instead of only asking for things when you think you really need them.

The Bible tells us that God will never test us beyond what we are capable of handling. We all run into a large number of obsticles in our lives, how we deal with them have alot to do with our relationship with God. If we're always looking at the obsticle as a negative and something to continually bring us down, we are obviously not looking to God for help. We all ask for things of God and don't get them, however, understand that ALL prayers are answered... unfortunately teh answer isn't always what we want it to be. Don't wait to pray/talk to God or Jesus until something bad or tragic happens in your life.... talk to THEM daily, and don't just ask for things, give THEM the praise and admiration THEY so deserve. If you do this with a pure heart, you'll be surprised at the results. (Of course, if you haven't ever accepted Jesus as your true Lord and Savior... do it real soon, that's the secret)

When I need Him most He is carrying me.
Footprints in the Sand
written by Mary Stevenson
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

God doesn't exist. You need to rely on yourself, family and friends.
I suggest taking your problems one at a time, so they don't seem so overwhelming.
There will always be problems, it's a part of life. But you have the strength to overcome them.

Dear rydfsanta,
I have to say I am really sorry you feel so desolate. You make of your life what you will. But, sometimes things in life are seem so hard to deal with. I do not know what is going on in your life and really can not offer up much advice. But, I do feel it is important that you go talk with a leader of your church and express what is going on in your life.
It is hard to step out of our own box to see into it. We can not make up or down of anything and EVERY-thing is so overwhelming. Maybe you have to much on your plate. Try breaking up your day and make little steps in fixing the bigger problems. God never closes a door with out opening a window it is that hallway that is a pain. God is with you but when we are so full of self pity,doubt,frustration,anguish, ext. It is hard to let the guidance come.
Again I have no clue as to what is going on in your life. But, Please go talk to a minister, or a friend about the situations that are going on in your life.
With a Big Hug during your troubled time.
Your Sister In Christ
