Could we forward to you a few questions for God to answer? This would very helpful.
That's a very good question. I have, in the past, come across some who have tried to win debates by saying that their unfounded claims have to be accepted because God Told Them. They were asked a few simple questions and fell flat on their faces.
"You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it."
John 14:14.
Why is your god saying no?
When Jesus says we can ask for anything we have to remember that our asking must be in in His name and God will not grant requests contrary to His nature or will. We cannot use this as a magic formula or fulfill selfish desires.
Go to a funeral and pray for the person in the casket to rise up and live again. No? Nothing's gonna happen? Jesus raised the dead, so a prayer along those lines should be doable.
Gotta love the EFJ.

Here you go then.
"God, please grant me the wisdom to develop a way to feed the entire world. I want this because there are people suffering throughout humanity, who have done no wrong to you or I. I want to be able to provide them all with food, so that we can stop sensless violence, and better understand your love through this."
Oh wait, no stroke of genius hit me. I'll leave the door open for an answer, but I'm still not expecting a knock.

Rev 3: 20 "Look, here I stand at the door and knock. If you hear Me calling and open the door, I will come in and we will share a meal as friends".
Maybe you should let Him in
