Wet Preacher
One day there was this preacher and he was having his usual sermon when all of a sudden it started raining, really, really, hard! After about one full hour of complete non-stop rain, they started making evacuations because the whole church was flooding, but the preacher just stood there in the ankle-deep water.
A guy in a car came up to him and said. "Preacher, Preacher you better get in here before you drown!" But the preacher just replied "Don't worry God will save me." The man then said "Whatever!" and drove away.
The water was now knee-deep and a guy in a raft came over to the Preacher and said "Preacher, Preacher you better get in here before you drown!" Despite the second warning the Preacher just stood there and replied "Don't worry God will save me." The man then said "Whatever!" and rowed away in the orange raft.
The water was now waist-deep and a guy in a power boat came to the Preacher and said "Preacher, Preacher you better get in here before you drown!" Despite the third warning the Preacher just stood there and replied "Don't worry God will save me." With that the man said "Whatever!" and jetted away in the power boat.
The water was now neck-deep and a guy in a helicopter came and said "Preacher, Preacher you better get your butt in here before you drown!" The man still just stood there and replied "Don't worry God will save me." And with that the man said "Whatever" and flew away.
The water then got so deep that the Preacher was sucked under and died. When he opened his eyes he noticed that he was in heaven. He then saw God and asked "God! Why didn't you save me from that horrible flood?" God then replied, " I sent you a car, a raft, a power boat, and a helicopter! What else do you want from me?"

this was a "joke" i found on a website i thought it was kinda cool...most people dont see that god really do try to help but its up to u to kno when he is... some people jus wait for that miraculous(sp?) event...thinking god will show up in person to help...not knowing that he was trying to help all the long

As for the athiest , another point of view is "Do not test god".

And sometimes - the answer is no. And, you have to be very careful what you pray for - if it's not in keeping with what is good, and a righteous desire of your heart - you may wish you hadn't asked for it. And, sometimes, He doesn't really care about the issue (like the color of your house, or the new job) so he lets you decide.
I also believe you should "pray as if everything depends on God, and then work as if everything depends on you."

I have prayed countless times with no response. 9 times out of 10 the exact opposite happened. That is why I am an atheist.

I love to use this joke myself from time to time.
So many people insist God never helps them when in fact he's sent them answer after answer but they were too stubborn to realize what He had done.

I didn't read that but the answer is NO.
Psalm 54:4
Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.

always loved this one- thanks for posting it- and to really answer your question- God never has failed to send me grace when I needed it- He may not have given me exactly what I asked but His grace is sufficient.
