Over my lifetime I have had some horrible things happen to me. Praying for some help which never comes I am losing my faith that God really loves me and is really there for me. I don't know how to stop this thinking. Very depressed over this!

The help will come as long as we don't lose hope. The reason prayers are not answered quickly is because we continue living in sin. We are not willing to change our old self. We don't want to obey God and that is blocking our blessings. And another thing is a selfish prayer. If you don't pray for other people more than you pray for yourself then your prayers will not be answered.
May the Lord bless you and forgive you for all your sins. May he strengthen you and save you from evil thought. I pray in the name of our Lord Jesus C

It is not in the receiving that we know God loves us but we know because Jesus, His only son died for us. This freed us from guilt of sin and God is now our friend. He hears us. This is a cause for great joy.

I know you have survived and are doing fairly well. What do you want? Keep praying and serving and giving to others. Give God a reason to bless you. You know He wants to.

God offers to us, not happy circumstances, not a pleasant life, necessarily, but Himself. He is the "exceeding great reward" of our existence; nothing else comes anywhere close to God in excellence, power, wonder and goodness. If we have Him, we have the very best God can give to us.

Talk to a pastor or a Christian friend; ask for help.
You don't have to be perfect; we all sin. God forgives when we take our sin to Him. God might be testing your faith so your faith will increase.
If you have time in your day to visit and/or do voluntary work in nursing home, you will find a lot of sad faces there and helping to put a smile on one of those sad faces just might encourage you to look at your own circumstances in a different perspective.

What's some of your favorite Scriptures?

Also, with slight modification from Eph 3:
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in your inner man, that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

You are not alone my friend.

Many of us have travelled, or are travelling through a desert. A rough journey through life.

Be strong. Never lose faith in God, no matter what happens.

Offer up your sufferings to God. Daily.

God bless and protect you.

God hears you. Remember the blessings He's given you? Thank Him for them. All people on earth experience bad things, some more than others.

Pray and try to live up to His commandments as best you can.

He loves you and you are His child if you are born again like Jesus said we must be.

One thing that's helped me through all the most difficult times in my life.. knowing that God understands my pain and He knows everything I've been through (which is a lot too).

Since Christ experienced everything we could go through, then I take comfort in the hard times with this knowledge.

Some of us can go through much more than others in different ways.. but we got the same savior and He's won the victory.

Praying for you sister
