I wish that someone could say one thing, just one thing only that proves that "God" wants to help us and is actually there. Crying in open supplication and asking, even begging to him doesn't even seem to work, even when that person's pain is so much they could die. Please and with utmost sincerity, can anyone answer this?
Why God keeps silent to somebody even after intensive cry?

Why? God isn't listening, that's why. Over six million people died in the German WW2 concentration camps- the Holocaust included. Well the Jews learned from that tragedy, that if they were going to get a Jewish homeland it wasn't going to happen by praying for it.

There is an answer, dear OC (peace to you!). First, though, a question: why does everyone assume that "God" (i.e., the Most Holy One of Israel)... is the God of EVERYONE?? He is NOT. He is the God of ISRAEL... and those who go with. All of the other nations have their OWN gods! In that light, that "answer" would be, first, that if one's prayers aren't being answered one should consider what "god" one is praying TO... and, second, if it IS the Most Holy One of Israel... whose name is JaHVeH (JAH of Armies) and NOT "Jehovah"... even if one is literally Israel in the flesh... one cannot have an audience WITH the Most Holy One of Israel... unless one GOES THROUGH CHRIST.
These are simple truths. Elementary. ABC, 123. Yet, so many overlook them. People claim, "I cried out to God! Why doesn't He answer?" Yet, they utterly dismiss that (if we're speaking of the Most Holy One of Israel, JAH of Armies) He has TOLD us how it is that we can/must/should/may "approach." And then sent His Son to REPEAT it. But... "we" continually disregard these things.
It is NOT rocket science. It is, however, a complete and total display of arrogance on the part of man who THINKS he will be heard simply because he muttered some words or cried out. Why do they not blame the god(s) they mutter and cry out TO for not responding/helping?
If you want to be heard by the TRUE God... the MOST Holy One... of ISRAEL... then you must obtain entry BEFORE Him, so as to be heard BY Him. It's no different than with any earthly king: you cannot just waltz in and have an audience. If that is the case with kings of MEN, how much MORE so than the Sovereign of the entire Universe???
There is only ONE, however, who can grant you that entry, only ONE... who is the Door THROUGH whom you must enter. Learn THAT simply truth. BELIEVE that simple truth. Put FAITH in that simple truth. And then apply it.
If you doubt, disbelieve, or refuse, however, don't expect anything. Because NOTHING is promised to those who do! Nothing. Which is exactly what such ones receive.
I hope this helps and, again, I bid you peace!

It's so funny how praying works. If you pray and it comes true, then you had faith! If you pray and it doesn't come true then you didn't have enough faith!
I gotta say whoever came up with this bullshit was a genius. People fall for it all the time.

So, some say, dear NS (peace to you!). That has not been my spiritual education or experience. I have never not received something I prayed/asked for, through/from Christ. Now, on at least three occasions my Lord asked me if I was SURE that what I was seeking I truly wanted. Which caused me to pause and then ask to know the OUTCOME of what I was asking for... which he either explained or showed to me. Which prompted me to change my mind (although I thought it was best for me and what I wanted, the truth was that either it wasn't... or it would prove harmful to someone else... neither of which I knew/saw when I asked).
But, in all honesty... everything [else] I've asked for has been given me. Why am I not rich? I haven't asked to be. Everytime it crosses my mind to do so, I hear tell of someone who became rich... and ended up either dead or with a most miserable life. My life is fine as it is.
I hope this helps and, again, peace to you!

Yeah, that's what the rich want you to think. It eliminates the competition.
Anywho, I can't complain. The only time I prayed to God when I was younger. I prayed the girl next to me in class would let me fuck her. Sometimes God would answer my prayers, sometimes he told me it was enough. That I needed to learn the meaning of enough, whatever God!
In my adult life I never prayed to God and I'm doing good. And about asking for riches, well of course God is not going to give you those riches. Apart from not existing, getting to be rich takes hard work unless you inherit that wealth or get lucky. And I hate to break it to you but most of the poor also end up dead or with a miserable life.
I hope this helps.
Oh wait, this just in! What is that Jesus? Oh He says to quit being such a kiss ass. He hates that.

Indeed. Thus, MY prayer:
"Two things I have asked of you. Do not withhold them from me before I die. Untruth and the lying word put far away from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Let me devour the food prescribed for me, that I may not become satisfied and I actually deny [you] and say: “Who is JaHVeH?” and that I may not come to poverty and I actually steal and assail the name of my God."
Simple enough.
Again, peace to you!

SA, who does, indeed, KISS the SON, just not his ass, as he has none, per se - he is a spirit being, after all!
