I so want to believe you. But so many others have told me the same thing for too long.

And still God never hears me. He never gives any indication that He's heard, anyway.

Sometimes the hurt and loneliness are too much and getting out is looking better and better.

Maybe you could try asking Him what the problem is. Is there something you are doing or not doing that does not agree with what He wants from you?

I had a discussion with an agnostic last night (I know you are not an agnostic) and he said he had asked the Lord for things and never received them. I told him to ask God “Who are you? Please reveal your presence to me if you are there.” Something like that. He doesn’t give good things to people who don’t even believe in Him. Why bother? The person will only conclude that whatever it was “just happened,” and was not a gift from God.

Go for the FAITH problem, not the specific lack in your life. If there is a faith problem. Get to the heart of the matter, which is NOT your unanswered prayer.

Make any sense?

He always seems to want something deeper and more spiritual and more important than what we are asking Him for.
