Ever get tired of praying?

[BantuKnotz99]

I hate when your going through something and the first thing somebody suggest to you is "to pray on it" praying on it doesn't change shyt. I swear I've been praying for so long on things to be better in my life ..in addition mind you,to being practical also ..and I feel like I'm getting nowhere. Honestly sometimes it makes it harder for me to believe in god. I've been through shyt in my life just like the next person but damn,a nikka gets tired of being pushed back. It's like a taste of success is hard to come by nowadays. I posted my "anti god" rant on FB and the Jesus freaks were losing their mind... I'm like fukk y'all..str8 up. U don't live my live therefore you don't know what I go through . Seems like religion is a fukking coping mechanism nowadays.. Pray for better days while struggling brehs

Pretty much this. Its always been that for some.

he doesn't always answer they way you want him to...but that doesn't mean he didn't answer. and in the end however he answers your prayers was the right answer because a perfect god doesn't make mistakes. you've just gotta find a way to accept his answer. just my beliefs.

God doesn't exist so why pray?

Then again even atheists pray in foxholes.

So what do I do in the meantime?


Continue to struggle,stress, feel my belief in god subside in a astronomical sense?

It's sad that I even feel like this. Because I'm usually the one saying god doesn't do things on your time but his own... My time is precious tho. I'm 25 and feel like I haven't done shyt in my life.

if you keep the faith even through the most TRYING of times ...and he WILL reward you brah ....trust me i've been there. also you should read the account of joab if you ever lose sight or feel like god has abandoned you. maybe he's priming you for something GREAT in your future.

Thanks for your input, ima try to conjure up what lil bit of faith I can salvage and see what happens. Maybe a breakthrough is imminent never know. Thanks once again

I usually just pray for therapy, like I'm talking to god but in a way it feels like I'm just talking to myself and airing shyt out unfiltered uncensored in my head. Sometimes he's come through when it really matters and others times things go bad but in the end it turns out it was for the better.

I remember I was gonna lose my job a few weeks ago and I kept praying that I didn't but it still happened. Now though, I'm a lot more stress free, I like this new place I'm working at and I've started exercising more and playing with my kids more.

Just saying sometimes you think things are the worst but in the end it'll turn out to be a good thing.

Aye but a side note I don't know how messed up your life is so this is kind of general but

Stop waiting for God to give you success or do anything for you, you do it, get your shyt done and keep trying even if things keep going to shyt over and over just don't stop. If God helps that's cool but if he doesn't there's probably a reason or something you'll learn at the end of it.

That's perfectly written to work with anything that happens.

If someone's struggling & they pray & get helped then you people are like "thank god, he answered the prayers"

If someone's struggling & they pray & things get worse then you people are like "he didn't answer the way you wanted him to"

Like is it not wrong to at some point believe that maybe praying to this god person has no effect on anything?

I stopped praying years ago & I've had the same ups & downs I had back when I was praying

well its true sometimes he lets his servants deal with hardships so they can apperciate their SUCCESSES even more and value it when they get it.

you'll learn at the end

You should finish the sentence

If that's the case what's the point of even praying since he can pick & choose when to help you out.. you're basically leaving things to chance regardless

It's just funny how y'all can make excuses as to why prayers aren't answered sometimes

When my little cousin had cancer & her parents prayed & asked the family to pray for her & she still ended up dying, what was God trying to tell us? What lesson was there to be learned? What was god telling my little cousin?
