prayer question

As someone who was raised to believe that God ALWAYS answers prayer, I have a question for those who are more spiritually grounded in their faith then I am. Why is it then when I ask God for this one thing that I desperately need, he always says no. I know that he could fix this problem of mine - depression and panic attacks, and for years I have prayed for him to take this from me. Why does he always tell me no? My childhood and early adulthood was very awful and painful. When am I going to be tested enough. If that is Gods purpose to refine me, and to open me up to other opportunities, then WHEN do I get to be done? Because I am very sad, and very tired, and starting to feel lost, angry and resentful that God seems to always tell me no. I need as much prayer as I can get. Please help me.

I dont think God is telling you no. I believe he is giving you a gift. The same gift he gave me. I have lived with severe and chronic pain for over 20 plus years now. I want healing and felt very much the same way you do now. There were even times that I thought death was my only way out. But I kept praying and soon came to realize that God was giving me a gift. Jesus helped me to know that his love a power are greater than any pain in my life. because of this my soul in Jesus carries me now in a way that makes all pain and difficulties seem weak. I also came to see that the reason I was so sad was because I loved the gift of life so much. It has taught me to truelly apprieate all of my life with all of my love. It didnt happen over night,not because of Jesus but because I can be stubborn. But I did see in time and every day brings another great gift from Jesus. It is all that God Our Father promises.
I will keep you in my daily prayers.

I know there are people out there who have it so much worse then me. And I know that I should be thinking of others and not myself, but I just can not see through the pain and agony. And I am in so much pain and I just need some prayer, and I need God to please, please help me. Wont someone please pray for me?

Oh Debbie, I am praying for you. I would love to see you healed. I just wanted to share how Jesus helped me. I am and will pray for complete healing for you.
Now and as long as you need you are in my prayers.
God bless, pickles

Please pray hard for me for this horrible time that I am going through. I am trying to learn to praise God but the fear is so bad, and the anger is so loud. I know that my requests are selfish as there are many who need prayer far more then I do, but please pray for me anyway

Debbie

I am praying continuesly.
God bless, pickles

I am also praying for you.

I think maybe now I know why God will not answer my prayer. People on here are saying that if you get divorced and remarried then you are living in sin and will no longer go to heaven. I am not sure that I knew this before I got remarried, but apparently it is still a sin. I think maybe this means God wants nothing to do with me. And now I wonder what to do, because now my beloved husband is also going to hell. What do I do. Maybe I am not saved if I am committing adultery or fornication or whatever being divorced and remarried means. But I thought if you repent then you are forgiven. I am so confused, and if possible more upset then before. All my life I have repented of my sin and tried to never do that behavior again. But the flesh is weak, so weak. And while that is no excuse, please tell me

WHAT DO I DO NOW?

You have asked for forgiveness, Our Lord Jesus has forgiven you. Now you will honor your marriage in obediance to Our Lord Jesus.
Sunshinedebbie, You need to accept God Our Father has forgiven you and Loves you very much. As long as you are unwilling to embrace this promise of God Our Father it is not him but you that makes it so hard to know his Love. He will make sure you know this but as long as you keep saying that your not worthy it makes it harder for you. Jesus loves you and Forgives you. God Our father loves and cherishes you. His holy Spirit comforts you and protects you. Believe in this and ask Jesus to come closer to you. He wants so much for you to take your hands from your eyes so that you will see how much you are loved.
I will keep praying for you, just believe and stop telling God your not worthy. He is telling you that he made and chose to love you
Praying for you still. God bless, pickles

I honestly believe that if not for God sending you to me to pray for me, I would not have made it through the last few days. Please continue with your help and love. Thank you

Depression and panic attacks

I have been thru the same thing as you, it continued for several years. First one must make a joyful noise unto the Lord night and day. If not out loud in your mind and heart. Sing sweet joyful songs to the Lord Jesus continually. This helps.
If you have not been baptized in the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues, then you should be for therein is your strength.
Praying and praise in tongues builds your faith and fights off satan, who causes a lot of our problems.

My doctor put me on Zoloft, which replenishes your serotonin level which stabilizes your moods.
Panic attacks lighten up and vanishes in most people.

Under stress our B vitamins get depleted because stomach acid levels increase under stress.
I started taking a sublingual multiple B vitamins’ in a liquid form mixed with Kool-Aid or juices. It is also available in melt under the tongue tabs. Either one works well. Rite Aide as well as Wal-Mart carries the liquid form for about 5 or 6 dollars for a months supply. Check out (TriVita.com) for the tabs, it is a bit more expensive.
A lot of the panic attacks are no more than just satan attacking you . The Bible says draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Submit yourself to him and resist the devil (panic attacks) and he or they will flee.

This is what helped me May God help and heal and bless you.

Who else would be telling me no? Only God has the power to heal me. And only God has the power to allow me to suffer from depression and panic. I am sorry, I do not understand

The Lord doesn’t usually answer my prayers with “yes” or “no.” I might get what I want and I might not.

What he seems to be pretty good at is answering my questions. I might not get answers to all my questions, but sometimes I’ll ask him something, and in seconds, the answer will come.

Always praying for you.

When he tells you no sometimes it means no, not right now. Just because he says not right now, doesn't mean he won't say yes at a later date.
When the Lord said if there was any other way and the cup could be passed from him, then let it be done, but if it be the father's will, so be it. The father did indeed answer the prayer, because shortly afterward he stood up and walked to his destiny.
On the other hand, sometimes him not answering is his way of building up our patience and endurance to serve him.

Luk 11:5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
Luk 11:6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
Luk 11:7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
Luk 11:8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
Luk 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Luk 11:10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Luk 11:11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
Luk 11:12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
Luk 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Or also stated in Matthew...
Mat 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Be patient and steadfast in prayer, and if God finally says, you know what? I've already said no and stop asking, then it's time to stop asking. But I've hardly ever heard anyone be that diligent in prayer and have God finally say no for the last time.
