God has "tested" me with something I cant handle.....?

Question

What do I do now....I have prayed for death...it does not come....He has not given me a way out...and my life is paralyzed.....and I didn't do anything to deserve this....What do I do now....He does not answer my prayers...What should I do
(Eds?)

Answer 1

You are handling this, whatever it is, just not well.

He is answering your prayers in the way that is best for you in the long run. You need to do what you can to get out fo the situation. Are there Friends or family members around that you can reach out to right now. I think He would have you do that. He gives us families and friends to help us and support us.

Answer 2

First of all, you are mistaken about your main question. God never tests or puts trial of any kind upon any person that is greater than they are able to bear. Read 1 Cor. 10: 13 in the Word of God. I do not know what the problem is that you are facing. But I do know what the soloution is. It is Jesus Christ. If you have done wrong, just get on your knees before God and ask Him fo forgive you for your sins, and He will do just that. (1 John 1:9) You do not want death; no matter how bad you may feel. Jesus is your way out. He told us in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father, but by me." Stop listening to the lies of the devil, and put your trust in God. To trust in HIm, you must also speak with your mouth what you believe. If you begin to speak good things, and confess God's Word over your life, it will surely come to pass. Maybe you are praying for the wrong things. I know this to be true if you are praying for death. Just pray for God's mercy and grace and his divine forgiveness. I guarantee you that He will hear you. He loves you just as much as He loves any other person. I have been in situations before when I thought that God was nowhere around; or that He never heard a word that I tried to speak to Him. But I had to learn to pray in faith; believing that He heard every word that I said, and that my help was on the way. I had to learn to start thanking Him, even before I seen the answers come to pass. Read Mark 11:22-24. Regardless of how bad things may look to you, never forget that with God all things are possible. And He wants exactly what is best for you. As a brother in Christ, I tell you, just trust Jesus. He will never fail you.

Job 38
The LORD Speaks
1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm. He said:
2 "Who is this that darkens my counsel
with words without knowledge?
3 Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.
4 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.

Try reading the rest of Job.
1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Neither will he tset you beyond endurance. Don't give up on God. He is faithful.

Answer 4

I had this discussion with a friend recently -

I know that God has promised to never give us more than we can handle. But I sincerely believes he actually does give us more than we can deal with - the challenge is to "give it back" - trust the Lord enough to say "I can't deal with this - I am putting it in your hands and I have enough faith that all will work out in the end"

My friend described it like this: We're all born with a backpack - sometimes it's more full than other times - But we always have it - Sometimes we need someone else to carry what's in our backpack for a while - Whether that means giving it to God, or confiding it to a friend or religious leader, counselor, etc.

Exercise more faith than you think you have - miracles happen.

Good luck!

James 4:3 (NIV)
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

1 Cor. 10:13 (NIV)
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Dude Jesus didn't deserve to die either.

Mark 10:27 (NIV)
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

Answer 6

Brother don't blame God for what is happening to you. You must examine yourself . Sometimes God does not answer prayers because we ask for things outside his will. Some times he says no, because he knows that what we ask for will hurt us. Yes you need to examine yourself. Have you accepted Jesus as your saviour? If so, are you living in obedience to his commandments? Have you truly sought to make Jesus the Lord of your life? Does God come first before anything else? I strongly suspect that your answer to these questions is no. If you truly want peace, pray something like this from the bottom of your heart.

God, please reveal yourself to me in the person of your son Jesus Christ. Please Lord ,I am crying out to you. I am sorry for all my sins, I want to quit sinning, and I want to serve you now. I need you God! Please help me.

If you pray that from the bottom of your heart and soul god will answer your prayer. Go find yourself a Bible believing friend, pastor or counseler that can help you begin your walk with God. Ill be praying for you..Come to Christ, I beg you, Come to Christ!!

Answer 7

Patience my dear, that's what you need. Read the bible, read Luke 11: 1-13

I will be praying for you. Also see Matthew 18:20

Also, you CAN handle the situation, that's why it was given to you. You are stronger than you think.

Answer 8

Life is the greatest gift that God gives us. Not living life to the fullest, and best of our abilities is against Gods wishes. You need help. When one desires anything negative to their well being, they are in mental distress. Talk to your doctor, or pastor, or councillor (school etc.,), if you cannot open yourself up to family or friends, you must find someone that is qualified in your community that can help. Good luck and God Bless you.

Answer 9

Stop looking towards a made up god for help. Do some thing to fix your self. Go out and get it done instead of sitting home praying and complaining. You can do anything if you put your mind to it.

Answer 10

the only god in christianity is the pope.... and he's got his hands full... what he and his church has done on earth is dispicable and nature is fighting back... if you really want some help there are several natural entities given consciousness to help guide humanity.... light a candle and speak to the flame... thinking your conversation is enough... fire can help...
