My fiancee and I currently feel abandoned by God with some real life struggles and are currently feeling miserable about it.
We're both wondering if He loves us so much then why does it currently seem like He's ignoring our prayers and allowing us to suffer without getting any answers whether they be yes or no? Just some kind of acknowledgement at least that He's listening.
I thought that Jesus was supposed to answer when you called on His name, but I called for Him until I was blue in the face last night and still nothing.
I'm an atheist, so you know what I'd credit for the silence. But I'm sure a lot of believers here have given you the same sort of advice. Don't wait for the big man, just do what you've got to do to address your problems. Don't be proud or angry or belligerent... figure out what needs to be done and just do it. And that includes the sort of situations when there just doesn't seem to be anything you can do to help yourself. The answer there, of course, is to ask someone else. Feel free to ask god, but go ask social services, the bank, your minister, your friends and your family and anyone else that might be able to help. We all know that it can be very painful to admit mistakes, failures, wrong turns... but taking care of those you love is more important that taking care of our reputations. Swallow hard and take the plunge. I'm pretty sure there are more people out there willing to help than most of us think.
Fingers crossed (whatever that's supposed to do).
