For Christians and believers only please?

When you pray you talk to God, when you read the Bible your listening to him.

And remember 1 John 5:14 says,". And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that, no matter what it is that we ask according to his will, he hears us. " So it does matter what we ask for.

Our actions also matter. Here are a couple scriptures to show that. I hope things get better for you keep praying and also listening.

James 1:5-8  So, if any one of YOU is lacking in wisdom, let him keep on asking God, for he gives generously to all and without reproaching; and it will be given him. 6 But let him keep on asking in faith, not doubting at all, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and blown about. 7 In fact, let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from Jehovah; 8 he is an indecisive man, unsteady in all his ways.

Proverbs 28:9: “He that is turning his ear away from hearing the law [of God]—even his prayer is something detestable.”

James 4:3 3 YOU do ask, and yet YOU do not receive, because YOU are asking for a wrong purpose, that YOU may expend [it] upon YOUR cravings for sensual pleasure.

I'm glad you asked.

Ask Him to increase your faith in Him because your faith activates His power.

Is there anything that you're holding back from Him? Like a sin or an issue that you don't want Him to know of? Ask Him to search your heart and show you these things so you can work on them together.

Also, read His word. Not only will it give you more wisdom, but you will also get closer to Him.

Have you been baptized yet? Have you been filled with His spirit? Both of these things are necessary for salvation and a relationship with Him. :)

I hope this helps!

Edit: Trials are normal, so if life is giving you lemons when you want oranges, God gave you lemons for a reason. Most likely to teach you a lesson or strengthen you.

how do i let him completely in my heart? the answer is simple

if you want god to be in your heart he will be

I talk to him once I'n a while, but i want a greater relationship with him.

you can only talk with your mind and you can only have relationship with your mind

just believe in god and fix your problems becouse what are you talking about its a state of mind, change that state of mind to positive and focus on the solution of the problem

and always remember this

your downhill its nothing compared with some others ppl and even on thise ppl you can see smile on their face, and ask your self "why do i feel like this when those ppl suffer more then me and still have smile on their face?"

You ought to try talking to Him about it instead of your computer.

If you really want a greater relationship with God, you need to be

sure there's nothing or no-one putting Him in 2nd or 3rd place.

Do you complicate the situation?

I have to ask ... Why do you spell "in" ~ a simple 2 letter word like this? ---> I'n

Make sure that you are born again, that you've accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior--not trying to insult you here but that is the basis for a relationship with God. Spend time everyday reading the Bible and praying.talking to God. As you draw closer to Him, He'll draw closer to you, as His Word says and I have reason to know He keeps His promises.

Bad things happen, no body's life is perfect. If you want a greater relationship with him then go to church! whenever i go to church, even though most of the time i hate getting out of bed, lol, i always feel uplifted and happy after! but if you dont have time for church, read the bible! or go online and look up some church sermons to listen to. :)

Why do you only pray to God in times of need and when he saves you, you forget him and only remember him when you are in trouble again?

Pray to God everyday. Talk to him about your personal life. After all God is your Father so you should always want to talk to him because God always wants to talk to you.

I suggest you pray everyday, read the Bible and go to Mass on Sundays.

Sorry, but this is an open forum, you don't get to pick and choose who answers. Go to one of your Christians-only sites for that.

It doesn't sound like god is doing a lot for you, does it? But why does that really matter to you? Aren't you really waiting for the eternal afterlife, since it is the entire point of your religion? If that is the case, you shouldn't be whining about how bad your current life is. Read what the OT has to say about Job, seems like you are in good company.

Read your Bible, pray with joy and thanksgiving. God tests us. Maybe there are some things he would like for you to realise.

well, there's a movie that's similar to your problems(kind of) it's called bruce almighty (it's a comedy, but it has a good message)
