God didnt help me when needed, now...?!


Question: God didnt help me when needed, now!.!.!.!?
A week before my school talent show, I got sick!. Soar throat, cough, stuffy nose!. I prayed to God to take my sickness away before the talent show, along with taking tons of medicines and doing whatever I could to save my voice!. I was feeling very nervous and unconfident so I prayed for him to give me some strength!. I ended up not doing so well at the talent show due to my sickness and my lack of confidence!. I feel as if God was not listening to me when I needed him most!. It sounds selfish!. I just feel like my faith has almost dropped to the ground because of this and it makes me feel horrible!. I feel so guilty for feeling this way but i just dont understand why he didnt help me when I needed him!. Someone please help me get my faith back!. ughWww@Answer-Health@Com

Hi Singergirl, I am so happy that you did pray!. He heard you for sure!. Sometimes when we pray we may have so much anxiety because of the situation that God can't work with us!. You don't sound selfish at all!. I know that you feel like He let you down, but He may want you to learn something from this!. Really, really, take the whole situation apart and examine every feeling you had before the talent show and really pray about it after!. I remember my son getting strep throat after auditioning and being chosen for a school play lead role out of 300 other kids! We all prayed that he would get better but he had to give the lead to another child!. It turned out that child's parents were getting divorced and it meant so much to that other little boy to get that role!. My son learned something out of that!. God loves you and He really does listen!. Don't give up and try to find out what good came out of the bad, even if it is a lesson learned!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

God was listening and He perhaps did not cure you for a reason!. Don't let your faith faulter because of this!. It was an important day for you but there are more important things God has to take care of in this life, ike children losing their life because of a dreadful disease!. Cheer up, it is not the end of the world, you will most likely have another chance next year and you will rock!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should meditate some on what it means for God to listen to and answer requests!.

Remember that while something might seem important to you, it might not be!. While you felt that the talent show was important, God may have other plans!. Perhaps God needs you to experience some loss or humility in order to fill your role!.

Remember also that God doesn't usually give handouts; He gives opportunities!. If you need strength and confidence, He's not going to go "poof" and grant them to you!. But he will give you chances to develop them, and make them part of yourself!.

Just some things to think about!. Talk it over with your minister !.Www@Answer-Health@Com

maybe you didnt need to sing at talent show and getting sick was God's way of letting you know that!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. but I was always told if it was bad it didint come from God and just pray and ask for forgivness he is a forgiving and understanding and gracious God faith takes time to build just work at it hopes this helps I'll be praying for you
God BlessWww@Answer-Health@Com

God answers all prayers, just not always with the answer we want!. He has a bigger plan for all of us, more than we can know in our human minds!. So, you didn't do so hot in the talent show!. Does that mean you quit!? of course not, you learned from this experiance and ok so you question your faith!. Keep praying, and keep your faith!. You'll come out stronger on the other side!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

he did hear your prayer!. there are bigger things then the school talent show!.!.!.who knows what might have happened if you did really well!. maybe someone would have killed themselves because your amazing voice made then feel bad about theirs!.!.!.you really never know!. it just wasn't meant to be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i would still have faith in God, it has given me strength many times
maybe your illness just had to take its course and maybe there is a reason
maybe there is a time coming when you can do even better, maybe it just wasn't your time to shineWww@Answer-Health@Com

You are not the only person in the planet who is asking for his help!. There are millions of people out there seeking for his help!.

When You asked for his helped maybe it was already too late!.

Don't let your faith go!. Please believe in him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the best prayers are for His will to be done and not our own!. It's more important that we are operate in His will it makes life easier and less stressful!. I'm sure someone else was praying for the same win on their own behalf too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

God doesn't always provide us with what we ask for, but with what we need at the time!. You may never know why this happened the way it did, but there was a reason for it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can't "get something back" that you never had!. True faith doesn't trivialize life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

your problems are nothing compared to those of others, god is not your slave and you need to grow up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well your not the only one on this planet!.!.!.!.


think about that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of, I am sorry about your talent show!. Things like this happens to everybody, even though we all wish they didn't!. Maybe you have learned something from this contest, even though you did not win it!. I believe that every show, no matter how unsuccessful, helps build up your confidence!.
As for your guilt, it must be terrible!. I can understand why you are feeling guilty, but this has nothing to do with selfishness!. Anyone would be upset in your situation!. But if it is any consolation, we cannot control our feelings so do not punish yourself for what you feel!.
I am not sure we are supposed to help you get your faith back!. This is the mental health section, and most therapists would encourage you to do whatever you are comfortable with, regain your faith or not regain your faith!. Of course, you can go to the religion section to get a more religion specific answer!. Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just keep in mind that God is always with you no matter what he died for all of us and he never gives us more than we can handle!. Maybe God had more confidence in you than you had in yourself and he was testing you to bring that out in yourself he wanted you to be proud of yourself no matter what the outcome was and wanted you to try your hardest!. Just keep thinking of that footprints in the sand poem!. God is always with you and when you see only one set of footprints in the sand it is then that God carries you!. I am sorry to hear that the outcome wasn't so great for your talent show however keep your faith in God strong for he is our redeemer and he loves you very much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

just relax and forgive yourself for doubting God!. He is the one that gave your mind to think and for a reason!. I felt that at one time recently I had lost my faith!. You can't see it when you are looking for it but it is there!. Maybe you can stop looking and you will see you have it!. God helps us and listens to us!. He answers our prayers but maybe in a different way then we want!. He knows what is best!. Tell yourself when something happens you might not agree with "God knows best"!.

As far as the ones here saying "you're not the only one" and other people have worse problems, they are wrong!.

Your life is just as important and just as valuble to God as anyone else!.

take careWww@Answer-Health@Com

I have felt kind of the same way before!. Don't be discouraged!. The words of God that are deep inside you are your faith!. As you trust and believe God, your faith in His strength becomes stronger!. Sometimes we are having faith in faith rather than having faith in the power of God!. That is where we often miss it!. Jesus said he came so we could have life and enjoy it!. If you don't enjoy life, that can steal your joy!. The thief comes only to steal from you, kill your faith, and destroy your mind and faith in God!. Don't blame God!. He heard you, He is waiting for you to trust Him and His power to heal your body, not so you can go to the talent show, but to enjoy life!. Why are you doubting!? Faith and Doubt can't live together!. Cheers! Edit: I just realized, you probably feel badly because you felt you did not do well on the talent show!. Because of your insecurity over that, you want to blame God!. Sorry, no offense intended!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
