Does anyone ever feel like God has forgotten you?

Sometimes I feel like I keep talking but God has just stopped listening

    The Bible says "we walk by faith, not by sight.". Faith is based on the word of God, what God has told us in the Bible, and for Christians this especially means the words of Jesus and the Apostles in the New Testament.

    I know that I can always draw near to God by simple faith, because of this word:

    " Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God."

    Romans 5:1-2

    and this word:

    " Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are —yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."

    Hebrews 4:14-16

    And so very many other promises of God, which I have tested and proved hundreds of times.

    Prayer is great, but listening to God is greater, and God is always speaking through the Bible.

    Everybody go by means of a time in our lives the place God turns into silent, and it seems that He has forgotten about us. Clearly what's particularly taking place is, he's growing our faith and trying to take us to a brand new degree in Him, so that we is also competent to believe him extra. Our faith is improved within the times of main issue, and although does now not reason the problem, since it's contrary to His nature, often He does permit it in order that He can exhibit Himself powerful on our behalf, and so that our faith can be elevated, also He does it so that we won't turn out to be susceptible infantrymen (warriors) in His military of Believers. Should you certainly not have a fight you'll not ever learn how one can combat. God certainly not forgets about us, had been consistently on His intellect. He proves that through supplying everything we need once we need it. It won't perpetually are available in the way we would like or believe it should, however it's continuously in His timing which is the correct timing, and invariably within the proper way, which is His way.

    No. I feel as if God is always listening. Whenever I need to talk to him. Like now. Some people think I am lonely. That's too bad. I have lots of dear friends who care about me. I actually have a very active life, but because my Grandmother is dying everyone feels I am lonely. I may not have any family here but I have lots of spiritual family. I wish people would stop it! My God does not micro-manage his believers. And he does not micro-manage me. He knows I will do whatever his will is for me and I wish people would stop interfering in matters that do not concern them. There are some people that are just not good company. Everybody was not Jesus' closest friend. I don't want you to fix what's broken. Some relationships needs to stay broken. I know who is good association for me and who is not. Their thinking and reasoning is way off the charts.

    STOP TRYING TO FIX EVERY RELATIONSHIP YOU THINK NEEDS FIXING. Stop trying to set me up with who you think I should be with. Jehovah wants me to obey because I love him. And I do love him. Let's not get it twisted. I am going to serve my God. His name is Jehovah and I am going to stay beneath his wings. I serve the God of Freedom. The July 15th magazine says: "Jehovah is the only Person with absolute freedom. Yet he never misuses it; nor does he monopolize freedom by micromanaging his servants. Instead, he has given them free will, which allows them to use initiative and satisfy all their proper desires." If I have done something improper then tell me don't try to manipulate me. I hate that! Reason with me or leave me alone! And yes my Father is listening and he knows I am tired of people trying to control me. I see a lot more than you think I see.

    And for the record I live a very private life. I let no one in I don't trust and those I let in that are not trustworthy I show to the door.

    Jehovah God is in the heavens. He sees all things and hears all things. One thing we can never do too much is go to God in prayer and talk to Him expressing how we feel. Jehovah God is called the "Hearer of prayer." He wants us to go to Him prayer and talk to Him because He truly cares for us all.

    "O Hearer of prayer, even to you people of all flesh will come."-Psalm 65:2

    "while YOU throw all YOUR anxiety upon him, because he cares for YOU."-1 Peter 5:7

    Jehovah God never forget us.

    Maybe you upset God. Maybe you didn't do what God wants?

    Quran 50:16 translation

    And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein

    Quran 40:35 translation

    Those who dispute concerning the signs of God without an authority having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of God and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does God seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.

    On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may God be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of God be upon him) said:

    "God the Almighty said:

    'I am as My servant thinks I am (1). I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assembly better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed."

    It's like he loves playing hide in seek.

    It's like he's waiting until we die to surprise us,

    or at least that must be what theists think.

    I personally do not believe.
