When I say actually help, I mean materially improve the situation. I don’t mean ANY form of making me feel better about it. His grace, love, presence, patience, etc.=not actually helping. How do I get him to act rather than give me completely empty words?
The thing is: God does not need to do anything for you.
Harsh reality, right? No one really wants to hear it. Even typing it made me grimace.
But, it's the truth. He doesn't need to serve me. He doesn't need to serve you. He is God. We are human.
But, He blesses you because He loves you. But, having the mindset, "He NEEDS to do this for me," is not a servant's heart. It's more of a "it's all about me" mindset.
God blesses you because He chooses to, because He loves you. God knows that life is not always easy and He has never promised it. He is faithful to his followers and He is faithful to you. But, as long as you have the mindset that God NEEDS to do something for you, He might be trying to teach you a lesson.
Instead of demanding Him to do something, ask him, "I want you to do this for me. I do want this and I want to see You move and it is frustrating to see you not moving in my life. Forgive me for this mindset. Your servant is listening. Teach me, mold me, and open up my ears to hear You."
He loves you and wants more than just being a genie in a bottle and giving you those three wishes.
