should I not even bother asking even tough I really need the thing. I don't want to seem like a christian who wants to use God. I wanna be a real christian all the time but it's been real hard to obey Him. I've been bitter and disobedient to Him coz He's not dealing with my ennemies like I wanted Him to and He let some bad things happened in my life. It's hard, real hard for me now, I need a fast miracle from Him.
Give me some verses if you think He might do it for me coz I don't He will.
Please don't use words like His timing or His will.

More like are you serious... There is no verese you say to God nor Jesus Christ to get what you want. If that was the case I would be rich right now.Those things that happened in life was probably was the result of Karma. You admitted yourself that you have been bitter and disobedient. The only way to get things is to ask God for help. You have to confess to him your sins and wrong doing. You must want what you ask of him in your heart not just in your mind. You must be patient. Just because things don't come lighting fast doesn't mean that God is not listening to you or that your prayer is not being answered. Just have faith in the lord and trust me you will never want for anything because it is nothing that God can't do, he's an awesome God remember that and God bless.

The Bible teaches that were are suppose to let God take care of all of our problems. Of course we do have to ask him to, and he will take care of our enemies. You said you didn't think he was dealing with your enemies, but a lot of time God deals with people hearts and lives and we don't see it at first, but look at them in the long run, they have given up something, and normally its something of real value. They start to loose the things that mean the most to them. And yes you should ask the Lord for a miracle. Jesus is in the Miracle business. You can't ask with doubt, you have to believe the Lord for it and if its justified that you need it, you will some how end up with it. The Lord will see to it, but if it doesn't happen don't get mad or discouraged, because as soon as you do something else will happen, and you will then be glad you didn't get the miracle, real glad, because maybe things wouldn't have turned out the way you thought. You know they say you have to be careful what you ask for, because you might just get it. We serve a mighty and forgiving God, there isn't anything he can't do.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no food; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Hab 3:17-18
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Commit your way to the Lord and He will bring it to pass. Delight thyself in the Lord and He will give thee the desires of your heart. If we ask anything in His will, He heareth us. If He heareth us we know we have the petition we have asked for in the timing the Lord in His wisdom decides. Wait on the Lord and wait patiently for Him. God is never too late even when He is late. Meekness toward God is being willing and pliable. Don't be the stony soil that when tribulation and persecution come, you wither and die. The great falling away will occur because people will get mad at God for allowing persecution and hardship. They believe God will save them from such, and when He doesn't, they will rebel. God loved Joseph but he still had to be perfected in the dungeons of his day. Endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

We don't deserve anything from him. We don't even deserve our salvation. The definition of grace is getting what we do NOT deserve- the definition of mercy is NOT getting what we DO deserve. Maybe God will show you some grace in this issue.
So, specifically, if you're asking about Him dealing with your enemies, there's a verse that says "Vengeance is mine saith the Lord" (sorry don't have the reference, but you can look it up at the site below). He will deal with their sin (and ours too) in his way and in his timing (sorry, I know you didn't want those words, but it's true).

Seems like the bottom line is patience and forgiveness
I don't know what you are asking for, but He will not withhold any good thing from you

Bless me indeed oh Lord

just trust him. i think i see what you mean about the whole timting and his will thing as well. i get incredibly sick of hearing that sometimes.
in romans 8:38-39 it says, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
if you need it God will give it to you, but it might not be in the way you expect it. and this is because of his love for you expressed in the above verse.
also in peter somewhere i think it says to cast all of your problems on him, or at the cross or something like that. Talk to him about it.
it kind of sounds more like you need love, forgiveness and strength patience etc... than a "fast miricle" from Him.
God will answer you as long as you're praying for the right things and reasons

Everything and anything you ask you don't deserve, that is why its called Grace and Mercy. How much less do you deserve the Perfect Son of God to die for your sins rather than anything else you might ask for. In His tender mercy He commands us to ask but tells us to ask as we are taught.

Just remember this. We are ALL recovering sinners. Bad things have happened in your life, what have you learned from them? Aside from blaming God, what can you take from your experiences to teach others, or change harm from happening to others? I believe you should talk to your pastor about your feelings. If you do not have a pastor, talk with a close friend, or a fellow Christian. If you would like please email me. I would be glad to listen to you! :)

He has answered you although probably not in the way you would prefer. There are things you may ask for, that will not fit into His plan for your life. There is a reason for everything He does whether it is how we would do things of not. There is nothing He will allow in which we cannot handle.

ask him, but remember, your relationship with God has to go both ways. pray every morning and night, as well as befor meals. never forget to that Him for all the good He had done for you. everything will not always be perfect and you have to realize God cannot protect you from everything, He has to test your faith and see how deep it really is.
i really hoped this helped you
