So just because nothing happens, there's no reason to think your prayer is not answered?:shrug:
It was answered, but the answer was no.
Why was it no?

What's the point of prayer.

i'm just messin' whitchu clueless...kinda.
my point is that having a relationship with god is challenging and full of trials. look at the stories in the bible. every one of them...abraham, noah, job. look at what he did to jesus for crying out loud. but i tell you what, i'd rather be strung up on a cross than have him ignore me...that is fo sho.
I've been reading your posts, and they are bereft of any sign of rational thinking.
oK... so aparently the children who get raped dont have a soul who sincerly prayed for the rape to stop.!!!
Hmmm... mayb God figers they deserve to be raped for not havin a proper soul.???
Then that coud esplane why som children are murdered after the rape... mayb som of the children pray for death while ther bein raped an God grants ther prayer by allowin the rapist to kill them.!!!
PS
I guess wit Karma... all's well that ends well.!!!

cluelusshusbund,
Sorry.
I thought you understood the term "spirit-soul".
I suggest you read up on some scriptures to gain some understanding of God. I recomend the Bhagavad Gita to start with. Then maybe you'll have some idea where I'm coming from.
More like every action creates subsequent reactions.

To make you feel good.
perhaps i was or am just more screwed up or stupid than most and he's had to mess with me more. not sure about that.
but, i definitely know god exists, which is a relief, and enlightening. he's taught me a lot about myself and the world and what's wrong with it, and what's right with it, and what's important, and what's not. it's given me a lot of peace of mind ultimately, and has made me a lot stronger...invincible i dare say.
i've gotten very angry with god when i've felt like he's put me through trials, but i know that most of the time what i'm fighting against is myself (my flesh), my own fears and hangups. so the other night when i was praying i said "i'm sorry i blame you". and he said "it's my fault". so i said, "well, i'm sorry i get angry with you then". :shrug:
the most important thing...even though at times it's been really hard...is that i know god loves me. he makes me feel really safe, and that's priceless really.
its ok to be mad at god..that is part of our relationship with him..but like you said..we have to admit that the anger is caused by ourselves, not him
Only the part you esplaned... that if the "spirit-souls" dont pray corectly then God wont help a child when ther gettin raped.!!!
I know lots about God... an heres somptin very importent:::
John 3:16--- "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Have you escepted Jesus as lord an savior... an did you know the bible says thats the only way to avoid eternal hell.???

Was God sayin its "you'r" fault or his fault.???
Mayb thats why God has let me have a nice life... cause i never get mad at him.!!!
I don't get mad at him/her/it, either... I don't believe in a "God"
Should that make my life easier,harder, or make no difference at all?
can't get mad at someone you don't believe in..
Well acordin to "Jan"... if a Aligator is eatin ya an you pray to God for it to stop... jus cause the Aligator keeps eatin ya... that dont mean that God didnt answr you prayer.!!!
HTH<----------
How on earf coud you get mad at Jesus... he gave you the very air you breathe.???
Then what is the point of praying at all?..
Apparently everything is already rigged... Predestined..
