You are mistaken, my friend... God loves you and He will answer your prayers. I already experienced it. "Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him." - Acts 10:34-35 "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us." - 1 John 5:14 21 minutes ago, LPTSTR said: My only hope is that one day I somehow manage to rise my status so high that I wouldnt depend on God anymore. We will always be completely dependent on God... We can do nothing without Him. "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." - John 15:5 God bless you in Jesus' name! Amen.

I can tell from experience, that I have wen through in my life that hoping on God in such situations is last thing you want to do. You can never be sure that it is His will to help You. You sounded like me several years ago when I thought God hated me and he only does miracles in other people's lives. I thought God was bent on making me suffer while others enjoy themselves. I walked a very rough road for years but now I look back and thank God for the training he gave me. You may feel God has abandoned you and is not answering your prayers but God loves you. You may not understand this now but you are exactly the type of people God is interested in. Isaiah 57:15 nkjv "For thus says the High and Lofty OneWho inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:“I dwell in the high and holy place,With him who has a contrite and humble spirit,To revive the spirit of the humble,And to revive the heart of the contrite ones." Sometimes you may not receive answers to your prayers immediately but he has heard you. Don't give up. Hold unto God to lift you up in due course. When you manage to rise your status so high please do not forget God. He really loves you. Why not tell him how you feel? Have a good discussion with your father? Prayer is not only about making requests. Open up to him. Edited September 23, 2017 by Couppy 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least in God's kingdom you will not be in this position. I don't even know you and I have God's love for you. Satan wants you to be discouraged but Christ wants to give you life and more abundant. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I had not surrendered my life completely to God. One day God used me to supply someone else's need before they knew about it themselves. I was there what they opened up the bank notice that they were $50. overdrawn with a $5. penalty. Would you believe that my friend provided the $50. and I had provided the $5? I had never heard of the people before and God had directed me to go to another town and give it to them. I hadn't even given to my church before, let alone to anyone else. But God made me aware that He would take care of me in the same way. Praise God.! I immediately started weeping and surrendered my whole life to Him. I had made such a mess of it I had nothing to lose. So I started taking my problems to Him and finding the solutions in the Bible. No longer was I so concerned about what others thought of me. I was most concerned about God. And He already accepted me because of Jesus' death on the cross for my sins. I was already His child! I was among those whom God loves. And what others thought, even other Christians, didn't count for much because God accepts and loves me. What matters is how much I love and forgive them. Jesus lives in me and He in me loves and forgives them for their being hateful and inconsiderate. He died for them, too. Even Christians can be cliquish and mean when they haven surrendered themselves to God. There but for the grace of God there go I. So He showed me my self righteousness that caused me to be unforgiving and unloving toward them. He showed me that only Christ in me can live the Christian life. So I was to allow His life in me to help me walk in the Spirit. The answer to Romans 7 is in Romans 8. Walk in the Spirit and focus on Christ. He will help you walk on the water like Peter! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Renan, I am so glad that you have already had such a response here to your thread. I hope that some of what has been shared here is an encouragement to you.

I cannot explain very well. Wow, I can't believe I'm reading this... I'm going through the exact same thing, that is why I decided to try out this forum. I've been alone and friend-less for a very long time and have more and less gotten used to it. My family members who are Non-believers think that I'm such a loser. You know, I would really love to pray for you, however it's difficult to remember someone in prayers when your profile name is " 4LdKHVCzRDj2 ". If you truly desire for friends, then I believe God will answer. But be wise because I know satan will bring you all kinds of bullies and abusers like he did to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many times he does not answer our prayers as we want because he knows how destructive that would be. Not getting everything we ask for is not a sign that God doesn't care about us or has abandoned us. Rather we should look inward and ask why we're asking for what we're asking for, if it's really right for us, if we're ready for it, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it seems I do not understand people very well too. Sorry if this sounds confusing.. English is not my first language. Thank you! Prayers and words. Lord you know every secret in our heart. Every wound every sorrow. In this world we have so much conflict and competion everyone has a perspective and everyone needs to be heard. Lord we can't change alot of things. Some times just the changes your making in us can be an upheavel to or soul. You promise by your spirit a peace greater then any frustrating circumstance we face. Greater then any conflicts in society, greater then our own understanding. Give your peace that you have left with us to your children. Alot of us loose our way because of all the voices. Lord let us hear your voice and lead us in understanding. You left peace for use by Your Holy Spirit but you also braught us a sword that divides because there is no peace with some people. Help your child reconsile your word and be refreshed by you and your word. Lord You say where 2 or 3 of us come in to agreement you stand in the midst of us. We all need at least one here in the flesh that will walk with us. Jesus, Bring this child of yours a brother or sister, a friend and companion that understands and is understood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do what the Lord taught us...love our neighbor as ourselves, do unto others as we would have others do unto us, and as it says in Proverbs a person must show themselves friendly to have friends. If we do the above, I think friends will eventually come into our lives. Also, maybe try reaching out to someone that seems to need a friend, too.
