Feeling forgotten by God

When my prayers seem to go unanswered, I try very hard to remember that God always answers prayer but it isn't always the answer we want, or when we want. My personal belief is that the true essence of faith is accepting that God is always there, not necessarily to give us all we ask for, but to comfort us when He doesn't also. Think about your earthly father denying you something you wanted very badly. He did that for your own welfare, because he knew things that, as a child, you could not know. I see our relationship with God in much the same way. Perhaps God is trying to teach you something throughout all of this. Only you can know what that is, and you may only find it by praying for guidance and wisdom. Please know that not one of us is unworthy of having God's audience when we pray. He knows your pain, and He loves you and cherishes you. Pray for God's comfort and for acceptance of His will, and I think you will begin to feel better about things. I will say a prayer for you as well. One of my favorite sayings is "God didn't promise us a smooth ride, He only promised us a safe landing." I hope you will soon be blessed.

I'm sorry you feel forgotten by God. Just continue to pray about it and tell God how you feel. Try not to get too stressed out by it and know that God does things on his time and not ours. I'm going through something right now about my job and I just keep praying about it and I know He will let me know what to do. I want an answer to my prayer right now but I just keep praying and I know he will send me an answer in his time. I hope things turn around for you and I will keep you in my prayers.

God says in the Holy Quran, "And we will try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives, but give glad tidings to the patient; Who, when a misfortune overtakes them, say "To God we belong, and to Him we shall return". (2:256). Sometimes God does try us, and the positive that comes out of it is that it brings out the very best of us, if we are truly patient. It makes us stronger human beings and more sympathetic to others in pain. But, I have learnt, that there is always light on the other side. Eventually things do turn around after much pain. Wounds do heal, but it takes time. Sometimes when our prayers seem to be not accepted, there is wisdom that we cannot understand at that time. But later on we do find out that it was best for us. It has happend to me on many occasions. God is compassionate and considerate to all his creation. One time, i was watching a documentary on discovery channel about cheetah's. They were showing this one cheetah, who was hungry and searching for its prey all day. But all the antelope or deers would somehow escape. A herd came, and he missed out on that too. The cheetah spent all day in hunger, and still no food. He was exhausted and seemed like he just gave up. He was laying underneath a tree, all exhausted and disappointed as so it seemed. All of a sudden, there was a deer right infront of him, just eating grass. Didn't even know that the cheetah was even there. I mean, this is the mercy of God! Even in the animal kingdom you find signs of this. I hope this message will give hope to those who are suffering. Hang in there and keep your chin up. Peace to you all :)

I always believe that God is good all the time and there's a time for everything. I also encountered one of the hardest trial in my life, I prayed, I wasn't able to get an answer right away but my I still have faith and trust in Him. I know for sure that there's a reason why I encountered such experience. I may not be able to fathom His reasons but I know it is for my best, have faith.

I really believe that God never forsake us. It is who forsakes Him. I also felt that way when things got messed up. I always bear in mind that God has his own perfect timing to answer our prayers. Theres a teaching in our church about unanswered prayers. It says that sometimes God says no when we dont deserve the blessings, are we really focused to Him? Second what's the real purpose/intention of our prayers, are we asking something to please ourselves or to share this blessings to others. Third, maybe our prayer is isnt what God plans or what he wants to happen to us. There are ups and downs in life but God is with us all the time, its our faith that we have to work on. Huge Faith produces answered prayers.

I trust God. "FAITH" is the best thing you have. Strong Faith and believing God. God is powerful and Helpful Everyday, every hour, every minute and every secont. Trust God and have a strong faith.

According to Bhagavad gita, whatever happens happens because it is best for you according to the will of god. I have a son, and i became pregnant again and all were happy, but it was an angular pregnancy and I lost the foetus and half of my uterus, never to becom pregnant again. After that I did not blieve that God was angry, maybe it is my destiny. dont lose hope.

Good day tink! It is but normal to feel what you are feeling right now. Everybody go through some bad times in life..no exceptions. Even the most and notable successful individuals experience downfalls. We may feel bad that God may be neglecting us, we may feel that our prayers are unheard of. But as what the other mylotters commented, God answers prayers for the best of our interests. Just persevere and continue to have faith in Him. I have read somewhere, and I was hoping that this simple tidbit would cheer you up, even for just a little. This is pertaining to the holy week. Whenever you feel like your day is a "good friday", lonely and problematic, bear in mind that "easter sunday": happiness, jubilation is coming. You can always look forward for another day, a day that is filled with happiness.
