It speaks in one verse that a day will come** when all will fall to the ground, and their teeth will grind in the presense of God** I am new at this , and the prophosys in the bible are in progress right now. I am scared, cause I am scared to die, But is says if we ask for forgivness of our sins, in Jesus name, He will remember them no more, to be cast out and forgotton.he gave satan power only untill the end, actually Satan was one off Gods beautiful angels, but now comes to steal, kill, and cheat us . He actuallyloves our misery. Sorry I just kept typing, I ask God every morning o use me , speak through me[, and guide me to make good choices. Oh, I could go on all night. I just buried both my mom and dad. God helps me through. They left, and never thought I could live withou them, but since their death, I am growing, and feeling like I will be okay, I know I will.. Always pray in the name of jesus, for he is our messanger, and most all my prayers come, in time, with faith and hope. The ones that dont is because it might mess up the plan, he has for me. God loves the meek, and loves when(as it says in the bible) he wants us to go in a quiet place, like a closet, and just talk like its a friend..he craves that from us..thanks for reading, I am not such aa good typer. Oh he also can give us messages in our dreams** I hope its readable, what would make my pc tripple leters/ nighty night0uote=Miss Blue;2200494]I have said it before on this forum that many people think God is a "sugar daddy" who sits on his throne and hands out whatever his spoiled children ask..He blessed us with the minds we have to figure out and solve problems..Imo we should be spending more time using out tools to solve our problems than whinning that God doesn't listen..We should try thanking God for the blessings we do have, and we have many that we are not aware of.

philly, I am not sure where you feel you posted incorrectly. Your post was beautiful and heartfelt.

May you find peace.

If your prayer is unanswered, it may be because you may be missing some kind of a ritual required for this kind of a prayer. For example, if I pray for a bottle of beer, there will be void and anguish till I finally resort to the ritual of pilgrimage to the fridge and fetching for the bottle opener. Then, behold, my prayers answered! (gulp-gulp)

This is--glub, glub--true. Sometimes asking for something just isn't sufficient.

I realized this is an old opening post. What are you praying for? What are you asking for? You can DM me if you want.

Ah well, you know, it's that sermon on the mount thing...


"Ask and ye shall recieve"
"Smite the Egyptians?"
"Thou shalt not tempt the lord"
(But hey... you said "ask"...)
