If I pray to God for a different life, will I receive it?

Answer 1

i don't mean for this to come off as too harsh, but i truly don't think that God will give you another life. God put you in the life that you're living right now for a reason--maybe you're going thru some really hard times and it doesn't seem like you have any purpose or watever it is that you're going thru, BUT God knows wat He is doing. maybe He's allowing you to go thru some of these things so that later in life you in turn can relate to someone else who is going thru the same thing or etc. & will be able to help pull them thru. He can see the WHOLE picture and knows wats best for us. whereas we can only see the here & nows and ask why why why. maybe He wants you just where ur at so that you will grow stronger in your walk with Him. i dunno--He works in mysterious ways. take a look at Job--everything that he held dear in his life was taken away from him!! i'm sure he prayed to have a different life, but yet God knew wat was best for him &instead of giving him a whole new life, turned his life around and prospered him. just because we ask God for something doesn't mean that we will receive it--He knows our needs & will supply wat He thinks is needed.
i don't even know if this is wat ur looking for, but ooh well :) hoped i helped if it was........

In a word No, if you mean reincarnation etc. Hebrews 9:27-28 says "Just as man is destined to die once and after that to face judgment so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people: and he will appear a second time, not to bear sins, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. I sense that you are not happy with the life you currently have. God CAN radically change it for the good and in a sense give you a "new" life. In fact this often is spoken of by those who have come to Christ. What some fail to mention, is that we may need renewing even when we ARE Christians. We may be caught up in sin and need to receive the blessed forgiveness and strengthening of our Savior. Or, we may have been beaten down by the sins of others and in some cases need to get away from the situation. It could be a combination of these things. I would suggest talking to a person you consider wise, perhaps a member of you faith, that can help you sort things out a bit. If things are real bad, do not be afraid to ask for help from a doctor. Sometimes deep depression can be a matter of bad body chemistry, and some medicine can GREATLY help. I pray things will improve for you! But take some POSITIVE action! DO NOT just sit there and keep saying to yourself "life sucks" over and over.

I think the Bible says that we have one life in the material world. In this life we have an opportunity to serve God and do as he wishes. I dont think God ever gave someone a different life. But he did turn things around for a lot of people from worse to better. At one point a person like Joseph does not have anything, and next he has everything because he followed God's commandments.

I'd look to God for the renewal of the spirit. Do you know that good feeling people get when they go to church? Well this good feeling will go away as you travel down old thought patterens, that summon worldly feelings, that are contradictory to God.

Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is that of a child. Do you know the unconditional love that a child has,.. in that a child will give anyone love that shows them love. People have to learn to protect themselves from this unconditional love, for they willl be taken advantage of. In jail it's a common saying that kindness is a weekness. But if you were ever luckey enough to have a child,.. and then you look into this child's eyes and all of the hope you have for that child. That's because the child inspires what you have lost.

The Holy Spirit heals the soul. It's change that starts in the heart first,.. and the mind second. But God doesn't teach us new thoughts. If God was in that buisness we'd already know it all. So we have to learn how to perfect Holy ways. God just inspires us to do so,.. and gave us the words of Holy Spirit inspires phrophets in order to give us dirrection for the rewirring of our brains.

Man trapped on his roof during a flood prayed to God for help. A boat came but he did not get in, he continued to pray. Next a helicopter came and he waved it off, he continued to pray. Finally, he drowned and asked God why he didn't help him. God said "huh?". You can have a different life, its up to you.

Answer 6

No. God gave you this one and only life to make of it what you will.
He has, however, given you the choice of where to go after this life.
Sin condemns every human.
God offers a way out of that condemnation:
