    Sure. But you have to remember that what often seems like NO is often just God saying, "Just Wait." I am an expert in not being patient when waiting for anything. See, I have a kind of arthritis that wears away in my spine and then re- deposits itself in the form of very sharp bone spurs that drive right into my spinal cord. I will not even go into the pain because most people cannot comprehend that much pain. I applied for Disability and got turned down. I appealed it. That got turned down. It went before a judge and THAT got turned down even after the first of 2 failed surgeries. The second time before the judge and a total of 5 1/2 years of no job, no money, usually not enough for pain meds later, I got approved. I have since gotten 3 checks all above 5,000 dollars (the first was almost 20,000) on top of monthly checks for disability. Does it still hurt? Yeah...I am on enough pain meds to kill 3 adults at once and it still hurts.

    But I am being blessed in so many other ways.

    God never sleeps. If a certain prayer is not being answered, then you should look into your own life instead of blaming God for not listening.

    Things that do not exist don't sleep. There is no personal god who answers prayer.

    Why should God solve our problems? Is it God's fault that we are in this situation? What have we done to solve our problem? God is not an instrument to be used to solve our problems. God has given us everything we need so that we can live in peace and be happy. God knows what we need before we even ask. Does this mean we should not pray anymore? Of course not. When we pray, we should just let go and let God be God.

    May the Lord's peace be with you!

    God is not anwering your prayers because you doubted on his existence. You do not believe our God. But for me He has answered all my prayers to him. They are favorable to me.

    Come on young girl join me to believe God . This is for your own good

    Our God do not need to sleep He just watch and watch us f rom our undertakings, on what we are doing and guiding us to do good deeds

    Have you ever read the Footprints in the Sand story. Perhaps that gives a good insight into just where God is when you need him.

    He doesnt sleep or ignore you, sometimes its not the right time for your prayers to be answered and sometimes we are not praying good prayers.
