God refuses to answer my prayers

Johnny Slick · Jan 22, 2019

Every day I prayer to God and ask him to get rid of my abusers. Every day I suffer horrific abuse, so I ask God to please end it permanently and make it stop. God tells me I have to be utterly perfect and not make any mistakes whatsoever, then he'll end the abuse. But I'm not perfect and make mistakes, as is the case with every Christian. But God doesn't care about that. He keeps telling me to be perfect, which I cannot do. So I ask God, Why won't you just be a nice person and end the abuse permanently despite my imperfections? I ask God this question over and over, day after day, many times each day. But he doesn't answer. He just remains silent.

Could everyone please pray and ask God to answer my prayer? I'm very irritated that he won't answer.

maybe you need to speak to one of the chaplains on the forum.

Praying for you in Jesus name.

Friend you are not hearing God because God knows better than anyone that we are not perfect and never will be.
I pray that you will realize that God loves you very much and we have God's Word that speaks to us today. You will get comfort from reading that it, Try Romans 8:38-39 and see that it is wonderful friend :]

I know that the Bible says we're imperfect, we're all sinners, etc. If I were to point this out to God, he wouldn't care. The abuse would continue, and God would keep telling me to be perfect over and over, which I cannot do. I could continually tell God that the Bible emphasizes Christians aren't perfect, and indeed humans aren't perfect, so why are you saying that I have to be perfect for you to help me and end the abuse? He wouldn't answer. He would stay silent and let my suffering continue. I would never get an answer from him. So please please please ask God to answer my prayers. I really need an answer.

Friend, The bible is God's spoken Word. It is Him talking directly to you
You are saved by faith because of His unmerited grace and favor! What a deal and what a gift :]

You absolutely cannot be hearing the voice of God if He's telling you to be perfect or He won't answer your prayers. That is not how God works, for one. He loves you and He knows that you cannot be perfect.

Instead of asking Him why He won't end the abuse or why you think He's saying the things He is, pray that God clears out all other spirits and influences so that you can hear His voice alone. Ask Him what He wants from you. He would not bully you this way, that is not how God works. He doesn't always present Himself in the way that we expect Him to, but I promise that He isn't saying you must be perfect.

My prayers! Abuse is difficult to endure, I'm very sorry you're in a hard situation.

Please speak with the police.

Prayer is for things out of our control. We wouldn't pray for God to turn the light off, and I don't think prayers are answered for things God gave us the ability to do ourselves.

Speak with the police.

Philippians 4:6

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

Prayer is not just for things out of our control.

It hasn't worked so far. The police are the ones to speak to.

If you have a leaking pipe, you call a plumber.

If you have a rodent problem, you call an exterminator.

If you have a vehicle problem, you call a mechanic.

This is a matter for the police.

Sure, yes the police can help. But to tell this person to stop praying is ridiculous. Clearly your faith in God is not very strong.

It is ok guys, I have been in private message with Johnny on this and everything is fine as of right now, Bless you all for you prayers.

I'm saying that there's a time for prayer and there's a time for using what God has put in place for us in the sense of a justice system, healthcare system etc.

Praying to God to stop the ship from sinking whilst a lifeboat is available, well, we only have ourselves to blame in that scenario.

God NEVER told you you had to be perfect so the abuse will stop.

Johnny, God has given us free will, and that includes your abusers, He cannot stop them even though he sees what they are doing. Being perfect is not something he would ask you to do, but Jesus did give us instructions on how to handle something like this.

to those of you who will listen, I say:

Love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you,
bless those who curse you,
pray for those who mistreat you.

I encourage you (and others) to pray for them for God to open their hearts and their eyes, to heal their pain that they are perpetrating on you.

The other thing you do need to do is forgive them, I know it's hard but it's for you not them.

I will be praying for your situation. :hug:

Praying for you, but why do you keep coming back to this forum under different accounts and posting the same request? Now you are saying you are a guy? If this is a real person abusing you; contact the police. If it's something else, please speak with a counselor.
