hi there i know what you mean. I believe in God too, but it's not that he doesn't hear as it's that we have to hear ourself and what we are asking of him. Is what you are asking or wishing important, is it something that;s going to help you or change you in some way. Is it something that's going to help someone else in need. That's the thing. You need to understand that God can only help us so much, it is up to us to help ourself out first. If you believe in him then what he wants is for you to believe in yourself too. You got to believ that you can do the things you want to. See there are things in the Bible that my mother didn't understand but when she asked me about them and helpped her understand what was going on in the Bible even though i've never had time to read far into the book, but i knew things that i've never read. Thing is i believe that i know the answers already, but it's the way of the world that makes us all for get of what we know. Times is what has changed us all. Time is what made us evolve around things that aren't really that improtant. From person to person i'm telling you that you need to see both side of things and not just one, to have or to get the understand is to understand both sides. If there is a problem do you just listen to one side and then decide on that or would you hear both side and then decide on the facts of the good a nd the bad..

Yes, I believe there is an god up there... But there are somethings i don't understand, Like church saying That their opinion is God's opinion, i don't understand, who gave them that power? Church is correct a lot of things but somethings like trying to make peoples head, that's why i leaved church and keep praying only to god, not at church, i don't see how another human thinks he is the 'messenger of god' just because he made some kind of school and got accepted[Of course some of them are really messengers because they help people alot] or something like, real messengers of god are those who help people daily and do good things, help the next, and etc.

God does not bring pain and evil into the world, that is the work of Satan and sometimes our own poor choices.

Believing in God and believing in Him by opening up your heart are 2 different things. If you really believe in His existence, you will never questioned about why He turned away from you during hard times. He intentionally brought us trials, sufferings, pains, etc because He knows we always give our most heartfelt, authentic prayers to HIm in this time. He likes to see if you will remain faithful to Him. Through those things, we were able to come up stronger and wiser.

do i believe in God? of course i do. we were raised to have faith and be good christian. but im not a perfect christian. sometimes when my life turns to the wrong direction i myself often pray and talked to Him asking Him why my life is like this? it seems that all my frustration i share with him. then the voice of my sister will reply saying "be thankful that youre still alive, eating 3times a day or more, have money in your pocket, and enjoying your life."

He is always listening, but sometimes what we pray for is not His will for us.

Yes I do believe in God. I pray to Him hundreds times a day. He hears me. and I think He hears to us whenever we call Him by the depths of our hearts and whenever we call Him with our full spirits and Honestly it happens very little that we call Hem whole heartedly. We call Him only as our regular routine.

I believe in God. There are so many of us praying so I'm sure he can't attend to all. And just because you pray doesn't mean he has to grant what you pray for. Do you ever pray just to be thankful for your day or your blessings?

Hey ! I`m actually a very religious person . I talk to God every time i feel like .. it doesn`t matter the reason .. whenever i`m happy .. or in need of he`s help .. i always lean on him .. And i know that i can`t get helped every time .. But still my faith is strong .. and He demonstrated me several times he really does exist .. times when only a miracle could change things .. and yet things got changed .. so God exists ! and he helps us every time he thinks we really need it .. and he feels we are close to him ..

i believe in God also. but dont think that He's listening to you. because, maybe it's for you or it's not the right time. all you have to do is wait and still... pray.

I just don't claim myself wise enough to deny the existence of a supreme power . But modesty's sake I accept the arguement that such a power is existing . People tag that power as God . But I don't . Because , the concept of God has already been depicted in such a way over time that He behaves like human being with , of course ,more power at His disposal . In a simpler word I don't believe in a God who behaves like humanbeing .

I also believe in God. I don't think he's not answering our prayers, I think he's doing it in his own way. You won't get the answer right in your face, it will come to you. You have to see his helping hand and have faith. A strange fact, which I noticed, is that some people actually pray for bad things to happen to others. I don't believe that God is actually answering them those prayers. I think it's "the Devil", or their simple deep, dark wish of something evil to occur. Eventually, what goes around comes around, and they will have to pay, I guess.

Have you ever thought that there is noone there to listen and you should look for strength inside yourself rather than from a fictional character?

GOD....yups i do believe.. GOD is too much nearer too u than ur spirit..GOD knows each and every thing u think ...but if u say that somtimes GOD doesnt listens to you than its totally wrong....He listens to You every tyme but the first thingu shud have is the FAITH...for eg if u r participating in any sport then the things that are important for u is to have fitness then the selfconfidence ,and faith on urself and believe on urself then and only then u have chances to win but if u lose ur confidence then its nuffin good to play..similarly coming back u shud have first of all strong Faith in GOD and HIS POWER...HE sometime doesnt gove u wat u wanted it must have many reasons the main resons are that u dun thank HIM much and the second reason will be that as GOD is a knower of each and every thing so HE know wat is right for u and wats not so sumtime he doesnt give u at u wanted !!! but HE does listens to you and whenever you turn to HIM and asks and beg for sumthing he becomes Happy and increases ur good deeds and blesses you.May GOD bless You ALL!!!
