I think God is getting tired of me.

God never gets tired of us and is only a prayer away.

Sorry, about this but I was praying to God repeatedly today and I sort of feel like God gave up on me. I was asking for signs all day and at first he told me that If I told all the truth, my gf would think of me as her lover but now it's only a friend when I ask. And even if I don't tell her the truth, it still says frienfs but a while it said something else, I just feel so depressed but I was reading something on Instagram saying that God is about to turn things around for me but I really don't know. Most of the signs are actually signs I prayed for take a look at my post history but can anyone tell me what I should do?

God really loves you and Jesus is always with you brother.

Whenever I think God might lose patience of me, it's really me projecting other people's losing patience with me onto him. God is a different being entirely. He has his own character. This isn't a reason to be lax, but it is a reason to not always be on edge.

You need to read the bible Jesus in Matthew 16:4 said an adulterous and wicked generation ask for signs.

All anyone needs is Jesus's command, ' if you love me you will obey my commands, that is the ten commandments.

So stop asking for signs and start reading the Bible.


How do you know that your " signs " are from God?
There is only one way of knowing, are they conforming to biblical teaching?

God is always patient with those who love Him and want to do His will. The Bible teaches us God's will. We ask for His guidance, but not for a sign.

Matthew 16
The Demand for a Sign

1The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.

2He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 3and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away.

The Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees

5When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. 6“Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

7They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”

8Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? 9Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? 10Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? 11How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Matthew 6
The Lord's Prayer
9“This, then, is how you should pray:
“ ‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.

2 Timothy 3
16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.



Read your Bible every day and learn His will.

My dear fellow sufferer. Please don't look for signs and wonders, they only bring you the sign of Jonah. Three days and nights in darkness. Please try and learn to only build your faith in God's love on the truth of His word. Not speculation.

Speculation has brought me unbelievable misery before Jesus pointed out to me that all my speculative thoughts had proven to be untrue, yet i had agonised millions of them without faith in God's love, bringing me rock bottom depressed - time and again.

It is about fighting the lies our illness throws our way with God's truth.

For example God loves me because i have put my faith in His Son Jesus. Such is a true thought. Which brings other good thoughts and backs up against your attackers.

To love The Lord because of salvation, rather than agonise God because of damnation you can only learn to do when you have understood that accepting grace works very much better than fearing damnation. When did fearing your damnation ever bring you good things, apart if those fears drove you in Jesus' arms? So let fear drive you to Jesus for when you are safely in His arms His love in you will cast out the fear and save you the fearful one.

So build with God's word, not speculation, rather ask Jesus to teach you not to heed speculation but only His loving truth as revealed in the Word.

You know what i did each time i was prisoner of my fears? i went to Jesus the fearful one i was, and begged Him for faith in His love, which He gave me time and again to overcome my inner enemies. At times my hairs would stand straight up on my arms from fear but still His loving truth would protect me. That is how i learned to be fearless when it comes to speculative fears.

So try it instead of fearing Jesus today place your faith in His love over you and see the difference for yourself.

Peace.

You need to see a doctor. Please believe me. You need to see a doctor. If I didn't take my medication every day I would be like a raving lunatic. Your quality of life would be so much better if you go get help. Please believe me. You need to go to a doctor. Please see a doctor.

I get tired of me, but I don't think God gets tired of us. Some of the experiences I've had with him were shocking - his perspective, attitude, etc... is WAY unlike our own, far superior, and far more victorious. Because of these, I no longer think of him as a babe in a manger, or a bruised and torn body on a cross, or as capricious so that I might lose his love. But as a great conquering King returned from his last battle, confident and victorious and with a love for us that will never wane. I've felt his gladness Psalms 45:7 it is completely amazing.

I agree so much with this. I see so many wanting signs, when they could know from scripture how God views this. Best to trust and just seek to do his will. He'll manifest himself in his own time as he's promised (John 14:21)

Nooooo way Hooooo zay! Think of the the amount of repetitive prayer petitions that go up to Him every second and every day! Some praying from their homes, others in the forests or mountains somewhere, some in work praying from their hearts and so on. He is not a man that He should get tired, neither does He need time off to recharge. Also He gets lit up immensely, when you spend your time praising Him. Don't forget that, once His Glory comes down, chains are broken as a result.

Is she sort of still trying to decide on what she wants out of this relationship? Im trying to figure out what you're saying.
