why when you need him the most ...he aint there?

Have you ever Heard this story A man climbed onto his house during a flood. First a row boat came by and said get in. the man said no I'm waiting on God to save me. Then as the water got higher a speed boat came by and said Get in. The man said, no I'm waiting on God. then as the water was on the roof a helicopter came by And said get in. The man said No I'm waiting on God to save me. After the man drowned he was in heaven. He ask God What happen I was waiting on you to save me. God said I tried you turned it down I sent a row boat, a speed boat, and a helicopter. The moral is Gods help is there It may not be what we are looking for But if it's from God take it.

God tests our faith once in a while and this time might be that God is just testing you. He wants us to draw near to Him, God says that He will not leave us as orphans. He is nearer than you think, just like the poem "Footprints in The Sand". Just ponder for a while about His love and what God has done for us, this reassures us that God will not leave us nor forsake us.

oh please believe me he is there !read the following it always helps me One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, You said that once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me." The Lord replied, "My son, My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I Carried You." The Poem

First of all I have to say, don't get discouraged about all your trials and tribulations. It's so cliche to say "Everything happens for a reason" and whether or not you've heard it a thousand times or more, it's still the truth! The Lord has a plan for you and your kids and whether it takes a couple of days or a couple of decades for it to seem to start going right, it will get there. Another good cliche is "God has a plan for every one of us" lol and guess what...this one's true, too! And I know you've heard this one before..."What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger"! You know, sometimes God tests our faith, and I pray that you pass this test! I responded to your discussion about the demons hovering over you and I let you know how it happened with me, too, and you know that the devil tries to attack you either when you're really getting closer to God or when you're weaker and your faith seems to be fading a little. Don't let him do this to you! Keep your faith strong and pray out loud every night and if he should try to attack your faith again let him know you're not scared of him! You'll be in my prayers as will your children! God Bless!!

Life can through you all kind of wrenches in your way and you have to keep on going. God has plans for everyone and he must have something in mind for you to keep things so hard. I know at times that I don't think he is very fair to me but have to keep my faith and hope for the best. Maybe he doesn't want you together at this time. No one knows what he wants for you or for him. You can pray and some day he will give you his answers when he is ready to.

God works in mysterious ways. His time is different from ours. You just have to keep the faith because he says in the bible " I will never leave you or forsake you" He is always by our side.

I believe that God always answers our prayer. The problem is, that he answers our need based not only on his love for us, but according to his will. You feel like he isn't listening, or answering you because you aren't getting the results YOU want. However, it is most likely that the results you want aren't what God wants for you. If you feel like things are getting worse, maybe it is because you ask for God's help, but then take it upon yourself to work at it, instead of letting him give you what you ask for. Does that make any sense? Like, you ask him to change you, and you ask him to change your friend, but then you turn away from him and try to do it yourself, or don't try at all, then you feel like God isn't doing his job. But in reality he is already working on it, only you can't see it yet. As far as asking God to change someone, all he will do is plant the seed for you. God gives us free will to make our own choices. If we aren't making the right choices, then where is change? I hope I am making sense to you. Maybe you should be more specific in your prayers. Maybe you should pray that God gives you the strength to face the challenges, and the wisdom to make the right choices, and the faith that God will see you through it. Later on down the road you will look back, and you will be able to see that God was there and did answer your prayers, just not in the way you expected. I hope this helps..

That moment seems to be quite needy even I am a guy but I can feel that if at some moment my girl friend needs me and I am not with her. That moment is really un-polite moment.

When you pray, are you praying for things to be the way you want them to be, or are you praying for things to be they way that would be best for all concerned. This could be the difference. I struggle with this issue constantly why does god allow such things to happen? The Story of Job is the biggest example of this, a man of great faith, who never wavered in faith and yet God allowed him to be tortured, tormented and brought to ruin by satan, so why? One person used the anology that if you know that child was ill and they needed surgery would you allow them to go through the pain of the surgery in order to have the health that they need. While I would say yes that I would allow that child to go through the pain of the surgery in order to be well, I do not see how that anology fits with Job. Since the loss of one child can not be replaced with another. I see it in our lives, a gambler will pray to win, but in truth what he may really need is a way to guit gambling. So what he should pray for is that what is best is what will be. So for me I pray that what is for the best is what will be, that god will do what is best for all concerned, but at the same time I see nothing wrong with wanting specific things for myself and for my life, and I do not see where some of those things will harm me or anyone else. So then why don't those things come into our lives? I mean I understand when say a woman may pray that a certain man will fall in love with her, and it is a prayer that is not answered, why , well maybe the guy was jack the ripper, or in some other way dangerous. If so then of course the prayer is not going to be answered why would that prayer be answered, when it would do more harm than good. But a woman prays to win enough money so that her bills are paid off, and she is out of debt, ok she is not being greedy asking for bill gates millions just enough to pay for her debts, this benefits the economy, it benefits the woman, it benefits her creditors, so why then is this prayer not answered. So sometimes the things we pray for are not necessarily in our best interests those prayers are not answered, when those prayers are not answered we begin to have doubts, oh we have faith in god, we have faith that there is something more than ourselves, but we wonder if those prayers will really come true, we doubt, and it is our own doubts that create the lack. Yet some times we pray, we know that for sure we are cared for and protected and provided for, yet we find more problems rather than solutions, so then why ? Unfortunatly no one as given me a satisfactory answer yet.

becoz he is inside us inform of faith even i loose faith many times in him but soon get back to him in his lap askin for help and guidance he do chek and test our trust and faith in hime and also our caliber and capability of takin decisons as wisest and able will be always blessed, so have faith and do ur task.wat ever happens , happens for gud always.

as God also said, i shall help you when you help also your self. you just dont go and pray to God and He will give you everything that is not the way when you believe. you believe when you pray and have faith that when helping yourself He will carry you. Do you know the footprints in the sand? It goes like this: One night a man had a dream.He dreamt of God walking along the beach with him. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it: "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But ive noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only onve set of footprints. I dont understand why when I needed you most you would leave me." the Lord replied: "My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that i carried you" written by Mary Stevenson

Dear listen, if you believe in God you are on the right way. But as far as your that question that why the person you need does not get there, i will only say this that its God's matter. It depends upon God that which person should be there and which should not be there when you need that particular person..So keep your believe in God.

Have faith. That ounds really easy to say but I believe it. Sometimes I think we blame God when things don't work as we ask but we forget that satan is there trying to create havoc and break our relation ship with God. Don't let him succeed. God bless you

I also used to believe that God wasn't listening to me. I've had a very dysfunctional life, one bad thing after another. But I have come to believe that God always hears us,and he gave you an answer, may not have been the one you wanted, the answer was NO. I also prayed for yes answers, But praying for them sometimes isn't enough, we need to do for ourselves, find the right path, life is about learning lessons. I am still praying too, and will continue to, and I still get No answers,but as long as I keep trying, I know the Yes answer will come when I need it most. Keep believing, He is listening.

well, all i can say that have faith... trust Him... He never leave you nor forsake you... in fact, we are the one who always forsake Him and draw ourselves away from Him... the Bible never say that by following Him, our path and way will be smooth and we will be free from troubles... but the Bible always say that God promises to never leave nor forsake us through our darkest hours in life... in fact, He will lift us up and will never let us stumble... and whenever we pray to Him, He always give us three answers which is YES (according in His time and not our time), NO (if He thinks that it will not do us any good) or WAIT... we just have to be patient and keep our faith in Him... rest assured that good things will come to you one day as long as you remain faithful to Him... God Bless You...

God watches us every minute or seconds. He even not missed a single seconds just to guide us. When you needed him most, he ain't there? He is there just listening to you. He guides you but you should make the move not him. He done everything just to make you happy. But if God was good enough to carry all the burdens with him, we wouldn't know the lessons of learning and same as how to cope up difficulties. God gave us all this to learn and challenge us how we could cope up with it.

There are things in our life that we cannot explain nor understand. That is why there is a need for us to hold to something so that we can keep our sanity. I believe that there is somebody up there greater than me so I can look up and just pray whenever I am very down. I ask for assistance every minute, every day. All I know is that we should keep on believing and if this is the best for us there is no reason for Him not to give it to us. Just hope and pray. Faith can move mountains and can make even the most impossible, possible. We should always remember that sometimes there are delays, not because He is not giving it but because He knows the perfect time for everything.

I believe, God never gives you more pain than you cannot take. He knows better than us, whats our will power to stand pain. What i have experienced in my life is that God has given me, whatever i have wished for, but at the right moment and i am sure it goes for everyone else as well. Sometimes he keeps you on hold to choose whats best for you. I really appriciate that through all your problems you are holding hands with God. God bless

He does that to test our faith. And he will test us to the very last of our sanity. I know, I have always been at this kind of situation and honestly, I never get use to it. But, God always has surprises for us specially in moments we don't expect it. And those are moments we realize that their is a God. It might take awhile but it always comes. God, I believe, also knows how to say no. But, mainly because he has something far better for you or you this isn't the time yet. I've been through many obstacles before and their were moments I just wanted to end it. But, I held on for as long as I could and now I am learning to say thank you for all the challenges he gave me because I believe it had made me a better person. You WILL have a better life but in HIS own time. Don't loose faith.

There is a passage in the Bible which says that we should "Trust in the Lord with all our hearts and should not lean to our own understanding." It is because His' ways are beyond human understanding. But rest assured that He is working on the best for our welfare, not only in the afterlife but also in this life. Try to be patient, ask God to be with you in your hardship, to bear with you and help you carry your cross in life. Trust God. Be patient, soon you will feel a different kind of peace and one by one your troubles will disappear. Just keep praying and never give up on life. Try to count your blessings and think of others who have a lot more worse case scenario than yours but is grateful just being alive.
