Faith has been shaken after constant disappointment?
As a Christian I'm told to pray, go to church, tithe, pray some more, live as Jesus would, love, pray and god will work miracles in your life. I've been doing this my whole life. In return I've been sick with physical problems, mental problems, poverty, suffering. When do the miracles start? I just want to be healthy. Mentally or physically, just one. I'm beginning to have my doubts about god
My medicine cabinet looks like a pharmacy with all the medications. I've been a Christian my whole life. My doubt only started recently. I used think people that worshiped cows or rats were foolish. I'm beginning to think I'm equally foolish. How about just a little assistance from god. Stop the panic attacks. Let's start there to restore my faith. Give me one week where I don't hide in the closet for no apparent reason

A person can live a more loving and virtuous life by reciting daily and with care the angelic psalter of the Blessed Virgin.

Prayers not answered?? Want to get Closer To GOD?
John 8:47 He who is of GOD hears GOD'S words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of GOD. 1 John 2:15-17
Most of what we all worry about is beyond our control. The Godly approach to these situations is to have Faith in God's provisions for us. While we do go about with life's daily struggles, a little concern is not displeasing to God.
But a lack of Faith that leads to deep worry is not Faith in GOD. Threatening circumstances in our lives need to be brought to The Lord in prayer. God's peace will replace our fears and worries.
And keep in mind, that all of us were born with Free will. This means that not even our Creator is going to force you to love Him. This is a choice that only YOU can make. No one is or can do this for you. Many people think of God as Impersonal. But if you were to read Hosea 11:8-9. You will read how God is a Lover, He forgives, He forgets, He wants to LOVE YOU and me. And He does so. He sent His only Son JESUS CHRIST to die for our Sins. Our God is a Holy God, He can not tolerate Sin. He can not look at Sin. But He can and will forgive your Sins. JESUS is the Answer to all your prayers, Worries and Fears. Read about God's Love for us. Luke 15:3-7 Jeremiah 29:13-14- Also Read Mark 11:22-26
How's your conduct? As GOD'S Ambassadors, We are to represent HIM in our daily lives. So in other words, Don't let your Meat Loaf. Our conduct, Character, and conversation, should be CHRIST LIKE. If you feel that your behavior may be just a little irresponsible, Pray to the LORD to forgive you and to help you.

We do all suffer, some more than others. You are NOT foolish but it is more a case of your getting to know the truth as to WHY we suffer........................it is true that God allows it but he does NOT cause it!
Please see this good article:
Why Does God Allow Suffering?
Has God caused the suffering in the world?
What issue was raised in the garden of Eden?
How will God undo the effects of human suffering? (the link is in my comment box)
Your faith in Gods promise of a new world order would help, so with that in mind please see this short lovely 4min video that shows what God intends to do about suffering and how Jesus ransom sacrifice fits in.

I want this, I want that, give me this, give me that - that is not praying that is begging and trying to use god as a servant!

The bible was written by many, many fools
whose real names do not appear, who supposed they could portray what God "might" be, in print.
Little could they possibly know that even 2,000 years later
`God` would never stop the Universe, split the sky, and acknowledge “christianity”.
Finally, the Council of Nicaea tossed 4 sets of stories together ... and came up with 1200 pages of bullsh`t.
Making religion absolute, instead of `God` = The beginning of every contradiction known to Humanity.

that is the reason your not seeing any miracles. your doubting god and not trusting him. your prayers will never be answered when you doubt

God never promised that life would be easy.
" love, pray and god will work miracles in your life" Where is it written in the bible that this is an automatic guarantee?
Isaiah 53:3He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
Matthew 16: 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?
