i am really trying not to be negative, i am an impatient person by nature but at what point can i really start to wonder what's going on? i can not get passed the confusion and analyzing and reasoning. i see soooooo many contradictions, that i hope are just the result of my not understanding fully yet, but i really cannot get passed a few items. i could really use some help on a few topics... PLEASE , if you are not a senior member or are confident of your advice., please please don't respond. thanks in advance for any help on a few things below.

1. why is it so hard to understand the bible? for instance, ask and you shall receive. then nothing comes.... if you can never get any kind of reassurance or signs especially when you are a "baby" in your walk with god,...how can you know he is real. i hear so many who get these little exciting signs and revelations. never me....

2. waiting on god's timing. i understand, yes, no and wait, but if you need an answer now... and you get nothing, what's that about? Fire, surely burn alive
jump out window? god tell me what to do... WAITING is not an option...how can god expect you to wait for this decision?
 
The first thing we should do if we have A problem is pray.We should not focus on our problems.We should always focus on God and his unfailing love for us.That same love that allowed us to be saved by Gods grace.It always helps to ask for prayer also.God answers prayer.
 
what about going to dr when sick? if we are suppose to trust
god for everything. why go get medicine if we are suppose to suffer
sometimes

waiting on god when we need a decision quickly seems kinda
missing the point
 
A lot of problems can result if we go ahead and make decisions without being sure of the mind of God on the matter. This is why there is no substitute for a regular, prayerful Bible reading habit.
