Answer 1

You are at the doorstep to realizing there is no god.

Answer 2

He still has done absolutely nothing to better your life?
Don't you think you should take a little responsibility for you own life? God answer selfless, humble, and sincere prayers.
Bad things can happen to everyone. Even Christians. But you can't blame God for your own problems. How did He destroy you. I have had bad things happen in my life too, but I trusted God, and He gave me the strength to make it through. I have never blamed God for the things that have happened. And He either gave me the strength I needed or He showed me the way out. But God is not like a butler that you can just demand what you want and expect to get it. Are you praying and asking with a humble and sincere heart, or are you telling God what He should do?

Answer 3

most humble...does not sound like the words of a humble man.

But putting that aside.. no doubt there is a lot of anger. yes, evil runs free...but that does not mean it will reign free forever. And yes, things happen to us we may never understand this side of the Jordan.

Now, if I was to go through life expecting God to be my cosmic candy machine, I'd be asking for a refund. But God is not my servant, He is my Sovereign King. While I may not understand His plan, I do know He has a plan, and in the end, His plan will result in His vanquishing evil. So, I'll take whatever lumps this world has to offer, because I believe what comes when I cross over and finally get to go home, the reward will pale to what I endured.

My prayer is to ask God to give you the strength to endure, and the wisdom to understand His "silence".

Answer 4

Listen to this man! If you ask God for something, their can be two reasons. One it is agains his will or two he has something way better in store for you.

Example. You ask him for this girl you realy like, who is like mad hot. But you dont get her. Guess what he has a better one just for you.

Trust me on this, everything that happens happens for a reason.

Keep asking, every prair is heared.


One story: one ladies son didnt want to become a christian. So he left home and told his mom that he will never be a christian. The mom prayed for him for 27 years! One day the son screwed up and realized that he was wrong. So he decided to come home. On his way one of his old freinds told him that his mom was praying for him to become a christian. But as soon as he got home he found out that his mom died the other day. His freinds told him about his mother and eventualy he became a christain. This is a true story.
So as you see the moms prayers didnt go unanswered even though it took 27 years to get answered.

Answer 5

I am very sorry that you life isn't going the way you want it to. I am sorry you feel as if your god isn't listening to you. However, I doubt you will get the answers that you seek here. If you can afford professional help, I would suggest you seek it. If not, try talking to people who care for you and are willing to listen with open minds.
Also:
1. Figure out what it is you want to do in your life.
2. Plan out how you are going to do that.
3. If you need to, figure out where you can compromise on things.
4. Figure out what makes you happy.
5. Do your best to become, at least in personality, the person you want to be.

These are not easy tasks.

I doubt that my words are going to really be the help that you seek, but I hope they assist in easing your burdens.

Lastly, if you are interested, there are some books you may want to read. Perhaps at this time you are low in your spiritual beliefs, so they may not be appropriate for you right now, but I offer their titles all the same.

The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle
The Way of the Spiritual Warrior, Dan Millman
I Jedi, Michael A. Stackpole

Answer 6

first saying that you are the most humble person you know is not humble at all.
2ns with the attitude you have of course god wont help you. god cant do everything for you, you have to put forth a lot of effort also not that you arent already but getting mad at god wont help you at all. and it isnt that god isnt listening it is that you arent. let him talk to you, let him live throught you. you cant expect for god to fix everything for you. i dont know your situation but saying that god ruined your life is somewhat of a long shot. you had absolutely nothing to do with the "ruining" or your life?

i would suggest praying more but try to listen too.

also i would take up a hobby (kickboxing, weight lifting, etc) to get all of your anger out. that cant be healthy

Answer 7

"I have taken my prayers to God for six long hard years, and He still has done absolutely nothing to better my life".

-Maybe it's time you stop praying and start moving...

"He lets evil run free!! And he destroyed me for no, no, no reason"

- He does give everyone free will and they are to use it as they please. We can use it for good or for evil purposes. We create the turmoil in our lives through our choices. We destroy ourselves. God does not take part in our destruction. If we are to believe that God is indeed good then he cannot be the one who directly causes our suffering...

"What am I supposed to do"?

- Stop blaming God for the bad things in your life and start to take control of it.

"God isn't listening..."

- Yes he is...

Answer 8

God isnt the one that destroyed you.
Blaming God for your problems may be the reason you're not getting anywhere.
I dont know what your problems are but you have to do something to fix it.
It wont fix itself.
There are a lot of bad things that happen to people. If you drop something and break it. You have to fix it or replace it.

Answer 9

There is something called the "Dark night of faith," which you may be experiencing. Mother Theresa felt it for the entire second half of her life, yet she never wavered in her faith. Just keep your faith in God and He will always be with you, whether you feel it all the time or not. Try reading this great book by Fr. Ronald Rolheiser called The Holy Longing. It could help you understand better. I will pray for you.

Answer 10

You have been struggling with things for a very long time. I sense you have not been completely open and honest with us in regards to the problems you are facing. Solutions are not going to come easily for you and it may require changes you have not been willing to accept. Some times we feel we cannot be completely open and honest because we fear we will be judged. In cases like this it is best to seek out answers with a professional and be open to making changes. As for God, who can say why your prayers are blocked or if they even are, since so little is known except you are in pain at the moment.

Answer 11

St.Monica prayed for the coversion of her son(St.Augustine) for 30 years a woman of great faith and great piety which underlines why she was canonized !

A polish jesuit priest was imprisoned for 26 years in russian work camps under fomer Soviet Union and kept the faith throughout his tortures and beatings and not once uttered presumption.

My own friend (german priest) was imprisoned for 2-3 years in the African nation(Rhodesia ;now Zimbabwe) repeated beatings(he's got a limp), and night interrorgations, being accused of an uprising against the Government (which was false;and paranoia) and was smuggled out of the country by some of the faithful on his release.

Hold fast,the devil always attacks who he fears most and miracles are usually handed to those who's faiths wither to strengthen them.

Be proud and honored He has found you among the listed as for me I guess I'm well protected as a cross of 1 weeks hardships, would certainly lead to my loss of faith on account of my weakness.

God bless,

JMJ
p.s persevere !!!
