    A man who is not there has no ears

    I think you need to tackle those obstacles yourself, because the invisible man in the sky sure won’t.

    You know that voice you somtimes hear when no-ones around? It could sound like your mother, father, or somebody really close to you?

    Well that’s not him, in fact that’s the devil!

    To contact god you have to mail him a letter (he’s in the dark ages at the moment)

    Address is simple, simply write ‘heaven’s gate’

    Keep an eye on the obituary section for a few days, when your postman shows up, you know god got the letter.

    God does listen to you but he pays special attention to those who are humble.
    If you have accepted Jesus as lord and are living by the Word, then you have nothing to worry about. Even if you life goes to ruin, your eternal life is secure.

    you just talk.

    and you won’t know if god will hear you, and you won’t hear him.

    God cares for every little thing in your life, according to the Bible. The Bible, God’s inerrant Word tells us that in order to get to God, you MUST accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Jesus died on the cross to pay the debt for all your sins so that you could be forgiven and go to Heaven. Jesus is THE WAY, the truth and the life…there is NO other way to the Father. God cannot look upon sin and we are sin by nature, so we must be washed clean by the blood of Jesus. Jesus bridged the gap between man and God that sin created. So in order for God to open His ears to you, you must open your heart to Jesus. God bless

    God always hears our prayers, and even knew our hearts and desires beforehand. My advice, keep praying and keep your eyes open for different ways that your prayers can be answered. They aren’t always answered in obvious ways that you expect.

    God hears you, I promise.
    Just talk…and He will listen.

    God isn’t some distant being far far away in the sky. He’s right there with you waiting for you to talk to Him and tell him all of your problems and worries.

    Reading the Bible can also be pretty comforting.

    He hears you…..and will answer at His will …sometimes it isn’t the time we expect….but He will answer. Reading the Bible (His word) can also give you perspective into answers that you may seek….by gaining knowledge of His word and His teachings, we learn paths we might not have thought of to go towards. Keep your mind open and draw closer to Him by reading His word and pray for guidance and understanding even before you read His word…..He answers all Prayers!! Sometimes it just takes patience on our part. Pray also for courage and strength to help you endure your obstacles….and don’t forget to thank Him each day for the blessings that you do have.

    I think you should let go and not worry about if a god hears you. Work on your issues with support from where ever you can get it, study how your obstacles have been handled by others and trust yourself enough to accept your faults. Loose your ego let go and let yourself be you.

    after praying wholeheartedly to GOD …… listen to HIM.

    Nothing that stout heart and a quick mind couldn’t overcome.

    Talk louder and be careful what you ask for. Make sure it is Jesus you adress and be careful how you speak with the Father. Jesus is the advocate he was sewn in weakness and raised in power. He can relate to us. Get a relationship and keep the comunication going he is their.

    One of the things the Lord loves doing is taking something that we think is impossible, and showing us how possible anything and everything is when He’s involved.
    He’s listening, even when we don’t think He is. Just keep praying to Him, talking with Him, and listening for Him.

    You just sit quietyly, and privately, and either out loud or mentally, speak with God as if you were speaking with a friend, and tell him all your problems. Keep an open mind, God will not speak to you directly, but you will be more at peace with yourself and more positive about life. That way the obstacles you see now will either be overcome or disappear for no reason.

    As St Teresa of Avila said:

    “Let nothing disturb thee; Let nothing dismay thee; All thing pass; God never changes.”

    God will answer your prayers. Have you ever analyze yourself too see if there is a sin that is keeping you from Him answering this prayer, the ask for forgiveness, and then pray again with a clean heart.

    We may won’t something we feel we must have it now, but Gods timing is not our timing.

    When you do this you must have faith.

    Most of the time, sin is a hindrance to prayer. If you conceal your sins, your prayers are not answered; but if you confess your sins in repentance, the Lord will show you mercy and your prayers will be answered.

    2 Chronicles 7:14
    If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.

    Psalm 66:18
    If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

    Sin is just one of the reasons. Other hindrances may be:
    - when we are not being obedient children of God
    - lack of faith
    - we do not ask specifically
    - we have the wrong motives
    - we are not praying according to God’s will
    - unforgiving spirit
    - lack of praise, thankfulness and love
    - failure to resist Satan
    - praying to other gods
    - not waiting on God
    - refusing to do our part
    - stinginess in giving
    - repetition
    - believing that God is obligated to answer our prayers because of the services that we do for Him
    - poor family relationships (ex. not being faithful to our spouse, etc.)
    - lack of time
    - not praying in Jesus’ name

    So as you can see, there are so many reasons why our prayers are not answered.

    There is no special format to talk to God, you just talk to Him like your talking to us. If you have topics in your Bible you will find numerous scriptures to give you your answers. May I suggest you go the a Bible Book Store and get a Bible Promise Book. It has many subjects that you are experiencing in your life each day, like anger, forgiveness, help in times of trouble, love, prayer etc… and it is very helpful to find a bunch of different scriptures on that one subject. I’m glad you said “almost impossible”, because with God, all things are possible. I don’t want to overload you with scriptures right now because it is important that you read them for yourself and not just take my word for it. One scripture I do want to give you is:
    1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time;
    7 Casting all your care upon Him; for He cares for you.
    Once you cast all your cares upon Him, and believe that he cares for you and will help fix your situation, then He will be able to exalt you or rise you above your situation in due time, there is a time for everything and sometimes we go through things to make us better.
    I also would like to recommend to you a book called “On the Anvil” by Max Lucado, it will help you understand the process of being refined and purified so the Lord can use you to not only help yourself, but others as well.
    God hears your honest prayer, you can count on that. There are only 2 things that can get in the way of your victory and that is only if you allow it, (1) the devil comes to rob, steal and destroy and will try to discourage you any way he can expecially through other people that are close to you or negative influences and (2) yourself, sometimes its our own doubt or unbelief that stops us, just say “Lord, help my unbelief” in Jesus’ name Amen. He said whatsoever we ask in His name (and don’t doubt) He will do it. There isn’t a problem that God can’t solve if your willing to put your trust in Him today. God Bless and I pray everything works out for you and I claim the victory with you and anyone else who believes in agreement for your break through. I am looking for a praise report : )
