I could actually write a book on this topic! When you believe in God, and pray to him for guidance, he has ways of letting you know what your destiny is. Many, many times I have prayed to God and asked him to show me the way, and he has never let me down. This guidance may come in the form of a feeling I get, through something I read, through timely advice from a friend, and various other ways. A none-believer may call it coincidence, but I know without a doubt the Lord was guiding me. Sometimes God calls me to do something I don't want to do (examples are teaching a class when I am an introvert who dreads public speaking, and giving up persuing a career to raise foster children). I have found that when I ignore God and go after my own desires, I'm not nearly as happy as I am when I submit to his will. He has designed us for a purpose, and he knows better than we do what will bring us true joy. \n\nAs a side note, science shows we have a specific part of the brain that is only activated during prayer. Some scientists say this is why we believe in God - because this part of our brain is tricking us. Others argue there must be a God who created this special section of our brain especially for communicating with him. \n\nIf you doubt the existance of God, put aside that doubt for just a moment and use that special part of your brain. Give him the benefit of the doubt and pray to him to reveal himself to you. Try it just as an experiment, but ask whole-heartedly. Then open your heart and mind and see what happens.

God says to help all who ask. Even if only one out of ten really need it, you'll be missing the one if you don't help them all. God says He even disguises angels as needy so if you don't help all who ask you might be saying no to an angel. God also says if you help those in need you will never be in need yourself. Life is made up of choices, that's why we're here. The choices we make, is the deciding factor in who we follow.

If you want to do something,you have to fight for it.Today,wishes cannot came true all by themselves,because life isn't easy.Do not expect that in life everything will go just the way you want to-because it will not.Help in life-sure,from your friends and family.But they can only tell you what to do,but they can't LIVE your life.If you want something so bad,sit,think about it (is it real,possible) and find a solution.Find a way to,on your own,make YOUR wishes come true.Every human for itself has to find the most unpainfull way to live life.Life is the net which is made of sadness,happiness,love,hate...Life is the most amazing thing on the world (and in universe too).Do NOT waste it.

God, if one is in right standing with Him, provides for us in the best way for us.  He answers prayers, but He does not do so necessarily the way we would like Him to.\n\nAs far as our wants, God knows our needs and that sometimes our wants interfere with our needs.  \n\nThe key is to get in right standing with God and then trust Him to know and provide what is necessary for you to prosper spiritually in your life.

Dear Obsessed:  What you said, is fine.  I think if I were going to do an offering prayer, I might say something like this:\n\n"Father, through your divine Holy Spirit Who exists in the souls of each and everyone of us, I offer these partnership monies for Him to use where He knows it is best needed.  Because the Holy Spirit exists within us and knows each of us as Himself, I ask Him to bring these funds to where it will be used for the most good and its highest use.  Holy Spirit, You know who and You know where. . .into your hands I place this offering.  Amen.\n\nBest regards, Lana

Being patient and waiting on God to answer me or give me what I need/want. Those are times when you begin to doubt but when you need to be even stronger than ever in your faith for Him.

People mostly pray when asking for something. Praying to a saint is meaningless. Asking God for anything but protection is disrespectful. God is not our servant. We are His. People pray for the wrong reasons.

Hope is the extension of wishing, but there's a difference between simple wishing and hoping. When you want something and you think there are chances for it to happen, then you're hoping. But there's also a difference between hoping and believing. Hope is much more uncertain than faith and it's strictly based on yearning.\n\nYes, I do believe in it since its existence cannot be doubted. Hope is connected to wishing and we all know we are capable of wishing, so it's not something that can be doubted like faith.
