Do you always pray asking God for 'extended life'?

Serious? Don't say things you don't really mean. God put you on earth for a reason. Though there are lots of challenges in this walk of iife but isn't that part of living?

You'll have to forgive me for not being excited to suffer for another 35 years. I don't mean physical pain suffering, I mean pointless monotonous existence. What do you do here on this planet? Perhaps you have some great thing, and that's wonderful. For me, I get up in the morning, and trudge off to some place I don't want to go. Spend 8 hours doing something I don't want to do. Then I come home and go to bed, so that the next day, I can repeat it all. Day after day. Month after month. Year after year. 15 years ago, I was earning $11 dollars an hour, in a boring job, putting computers together. Last year I was putting computers together for $12 an hour. Between those two, I have had roughly 35 different jobs. I've lost every job I liked, and been promoted at every job I hate. I have tried to do computer programming, to truck driving, to auto mechanic. I failed out of college, and failed at everything I have tried to do, despite my absolute best to do it. I have given life my all. Everything I had to give, has been given and lost. I'm now 35 years old, have a whooping $100 to my name, and absolutely no hope whatsoever in life. I am completely serious in what I've told you. I mean it 100%. I was once asked how I would feel if a doctor told me I had only 24 hours to live, and I told that person... who happen to be my father, that I would be completely happy for once in my life. No regrets. I did my best, but I'm a failure. I'm ready for it to be over. Perhaps G-d did put me here for a reason. Perhaps the purpose of my life is to serve as a warning to others. I don't know. Whatever it is, I absolutely hate the idea that I have to spend another 35 years here.

It is good to always thank God for all all what we have achieved while living.

God is merciful and would grant whatever we seek from him in his own terms.

I have many first hand experiences where God has answered my prayers. God will grant what ever we ask from Him at his own time but surely he never fail to answer our prayers.

I know our children always comes first so it is important that we pray for their future success.

Hi anggunmelati. Ofcourse there are more better things to seek from god than just for an extended life.

Exercising should be incorporated in our daily routine as it can add years to our life. And that is one of those suggested in the link to have an extended life.

I always believe in the power of prayers. I have on several occasions experienced my prayers answered. I agree that having a quality life of pain free existence is so much better than having to endure sufferings on earth of all the unwanted diseases that often lick on aging bodies.

You have valid reasons in asking for a blessed life.

Make sense. It is our wish to have our loved ones to be around us always as without them life would be meaningless.

Hope you like what you read.

Health is something we all ask for as it guarantees our smooth journey on earth. Having long life laden with diseases is a torture and a burden to life.

It is not necessary though to specify our intentions in prayers. God knows exactly what is in our hearts.

Keep praying and God will surely answer prayers at his own time.

Like you I am always praying for good health until He unplug my life to take me away from my earthly existence. Hopefully you enjoy reading what was written in the link provided.

It is only right that we pray for young members in the family whose future are still uncertain.
