I see the Devil every day leering at me when I go to the bathroom and have a shave!

God never hide his face for us.. The fact is that we don´t ask with faith we just ask and sometimes we ask wrong and he said what God doesn´t answer and sometimes is better a no answer because what w ewant sometimes just hurt us.

Hey Shawty
You can see God every day.
Just look at the flowers, peaches hanging from a tree, a lil group of baby ducklings following their mum, the ocean on a hot summer day, pine trees with their branches covered in snow or the stars in the sky at midnight
Aint he great?

This is some things I asked God for: get me to an out-of-state college, bless me with a man, a family, and friends that love me. Bless me to be able to have my own house, car, e.t.c. I didn't ask for Him to give me the money to go to McDonald's so I can't picture what I've asked for wrong. 2ndly, what if I've lost the strength to ask for what I need??? When I'm a baby I'm physically unable to ask my parents to feed me, but they are stil supposed to do it. Well now I'm spiritually unable to ask for what I need, but I know inside what it is. Am I being punished because I'm not mouthing the words or even thinking them in my mind??? Thought the Bible said God knows the heart.

You are still quite young and i'm sure you will find these thing when the time is right.I'm not a religous person, but don't think God is punishing you

and this also scares me because people are not perfect, they don't always say "I need to get over this person" they may say that, but like I can actually do what most people think is actually getting over it, they dwell on it.....but just cuse they have shortcommings doesn't mean they don't deserve a fair chance at having God's love...I'm honestly thinking of a quote that was said on a movie called "Honey".
"There are some people good things happen to, and there are people good things don't happen to."
Everytime you see a movie the idea is that people that go through hard times meet somebody on the street that gives them a chance, a starting point. Well, I have many talents and no one has came up to me on the street. I would love to be a rapper, no one here has seen me actually write a song on here, but I probably will 1 day soon. I have a way with words.

I know how you feel sometimes.
David did too.
"Why do You stand afar off, O LORD? Why do You hide {Yourself} in times of trouble?" Psalms 10:1
"How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?" Psalms 13:1
"O LORD, why do You reject my soul? {Why} do You hide Your face from me?" Psalms 88:14
And he was a man "after God's own heart." I take comfort that I am not alone in feeling this way and God always comes through for me in the end.

What helped me was understanding that God is Spirit, an infinite being high above what our finite minds can understand/grasp.
As human beings, we "see/experience" God through His Presence in the world around us and within our hearts. We also come to know Him through personal relationship and through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Even when we do not feel it, He is always with us.
Continue to seek Him and He will reward your trust.
(BTW, it is a gift in itself to know that evil exists. Many, many don't.)

hi shawty,
all i can say is that all will be bautiful in His time. You may plan, you may stand still, you might think you know what you want, but He knows what you really needs. So enjoy the process of being single, sorround yourself with friends and family. Find the beauty in other people's face and heart and you know how wonderful His plan is for you.
About the God knows what's in your heart is true, but if you want something, imho, you should be able to ask Him, ie: in prayers, because me thinks He wants you to have a close relationship with Him so you can ask anything like a child to her father does. So don't hesitate, say it out loud when you talk to Him in your prayers.

God supplies what we NEED ... not necessarily what we WANT
I liked a sign I saw out front of a chuch recently:
If you worry, don't pray
and if you pray
don't worry

You can see the face of 'God' when a charitable person smiles at you, when a close friend laughs with you, when a lover gazes into your eyes...

God is every moment prominently present. As such, we think He is invisible. Devil appears only when God is absent. Its a short time phenomena and we remember.

there are so many gods out there are you sure you are praying to the right one? I mean you wouldn’t go to a surgeon to order a steak. When I want KFC I pray to cornel Sanders!
