I want to make this sure, these days I feel as if god is testing me very badly, there is a limit for every test right, I feel that limit is being crossed. I am just facing many issues in my daily life and in need to gods help, I am not even asking others, my family members, friends or anyone, I don't share any of my issues or problems with anyone except with god. then why is he not listening to me? why is he not bringing me out of what I am facing today? what more should I do to seek his mercy so that he can drop few showers of his blessings on me? People say that he will listen to our prayers, but why is he not listening to me now, has he got his own time to resolve my issues and not now when I am really struggling to come out of this situation? Friends, I really need a way I can seek gods blessings. I don't know if there is any wrong in the way am praying him that he is still not coming to my rescue. what should i do?

God does answer your prayers. But you have to understand that God works in mysterious ways. If something does not happen the way you want it, then that most likely is not for you and perhaps God has something better to offer. Be strong and continue to have faith. Pray and pray more. I am sure that later on your prayers will be answered.

YES God is there and he listens to our prayers...He never leave us nor forsake us specially in times of problems or troubles, that is His Word according to the Bible so He will never lie to it.Maybe He is just waiting for the right time coz everything happen according to His time..Just hold on to your faith my friend He is just looking what inside your heart..You have to believe first coz "Everything that you asked in Prayers Believed it and You shall have it".Every trials has it ends...I cannot answer you when but im sure it will ends...search yourself maybe you are doing things that hinder your blessing... May i know from what country you came from?

Hi Ggeeta and welcome to my lot. God hears all prayers. The answer may be no because God knows that what ever it is your praying for won't be good for you. But then remember that satan can send troubles on you especially if your a good Christian. And lets face it satan is only after the souls he can't touch. Believe me God hears your prayers but HE might have plans for you. Maybe HE isn't giving you the answers your looking for because HE wants to make you stronger. I put up a discussion this morning you should at least look at it. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2398573.aspx It might help you understand why you are going through these tough times. Don't give up on God HE won't give up on you.

Hi Ggeeta. Your Welcome my friend. Never let satan have control. Stand up and tell God that you are HIS and HIS alone and order all evil from you your family and your home in Jesus name and God will make things easier. But you have to make the first move and let God know you love HIM. Always keep the faith in God. HE hears your prayers and knows what your going through and will guide you if you will only open up your heart and let God in your life daily! Keep the faith!

GOD never close an ear to each of us. He is always willing to help us but sometimes our iniquities that is not confess by our own selves becomes the barrier for his blessing to pour upon us. Other times there's GODS answer that says "WAIT" not now "YES" and give us what we ask "NO" there's more better things to ask for. TAKE HEART and KEEP BELIEVING! REMEMBER: GOD owns everything and knows whats best for the children he love's. we may not understand his will but we can always trust his plan. GOD BLESS YOU.

Something good will happen to you but not directly to what you pray for or what you are expecting. The best thing to do is expect less.

I believe God is listening to our prayers although not all our favor can give it to us. Sometimes He wants us to be challenged and guide on how to think just to solve the problem. I actually think that God is not fair to us when in reality He is fair to all people. The only thing we can do right now is to TRUST God and soon find out the answer of why He has given us a problem.

I believe in prayers and yes God answer our prayers in different ways. Sometimes when we pray hard for something but seems nothing happen, you have to look at in different angle in your life. Do not feel hopeless right away because sometimes the answer to your prayer will come at the most needed moment in your life. God really answer your prayer but it is not what you expected to be

Hi ggeeta, just last time i think a one week ago i experienced and felt the same thing as yours. I ask God to help me. I didn't expect things will happen to me that day. I cried out to God for help. I also ask some prayer requests from our sisters in the church and they prayed for me. One things for sure nothing is impossible to God. He will answer all our prayers in His time. Be specific about you asking Him what you wanted to do for your life. To tell you honestly the next next my prayers are all answered. You must believe in Him and not doubt because he cares for you my friend. I hope this verses in the Bible helps. Mark 11:24 says Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Yes money4moms, I am also depending just on his grace now. I am just crying only to him. and you know what? When I started this discussion I started it with a bit of tension in me, discouragement, some sad feeling, but now, am so happy because I feel solace with all of my friends suggestions here. I feel as if god is answering to me by means of people here.

Definitely yes but sometimes in God's time and not ours!..hmmm.. just keep on praying sincerely and honestly..It should be from the bottom of your heart and make sure you're doing your part also, prove that you're worth it.. And if ever He doesn't give what you're praying for- maybe it's really not for you but certainly He's reserving the best for you more than what you wished for. Just think of the countless blessings He's giving you without asking.. Like what they say- "Prayers are useless without a deep faith in you". Cheer up, you can handle it! ^.^

Peace be upon all, In my religion, it is known that God will always listen to our prayers as long as we are close to him (do what he commands and leave what he forbids), and we do something based on what we beg. God will sometimes answer with his own way, the best one, that is probably hidden from our eyes, or even feel bad to us. As long as you believe in God, he will always answer for you. It is not easy, that God will always test his subjects according to their faith. So, have strong faith, my friend, and I hope the solution will come to you soon!

God is listening to our prayers. Pray to God to give you wisdom and strength to resolve your problems. God will give you wisdom for the solutions for your problems and give you strength to enjoy it. We don't pray to God to take away our problems He will never answer it. Just have faith to Him and trust Him. God bless ggeeta!

Well I don't really know I think that he does answer prayers, but you won't really know it, but I think that something good will happen like your life may start going a little bit better. Anyway I feel that if I pray to much and ask him then I will feel that I am being to greedy and I don't want to be greedy. So I pray like when I am in really tough situations when I don't know what to do at all.

God hear our prayers..He listen to it..but God knows everything, that is why he knows what is the best for us..there are prayers that God doesn't grand for a purpose..God doesn't give us some trials and problem if he knows that we cannot make it..God knows our capability and ability when it regards to this things..but we to be thankful that despite of everything that God is always there for us...remember His promise "i will never leave you nor forsake you"..what a beautiful promises of god..

god listens to our prayers.. i believe that but prayers are answered if it really needs to be answered... sometimes i believe that god guides us to the answer to our prayers. answers to prayers are not sometimes given to us directly. we have work for it.. or god has a guide... or god gives us situations that make sus realize... our prayers are answered.. just try not to be too impatient.. god loves us and he wont let us down. we just have to work for it. goodluck on your faith..

As you said ree_yah, god has to guide us, in times when we feel like tough, his support and guidance is quite essential, we want him to hold our hand. and that is what I am waiting for.
